Jeff Fisher will be leaving the Titans after 16 great seasons with them. The Titans who went 6-10 after a good 5-2 start they went backwards and lost 8 out of there last 10 games. Prior to the season, the Titans went 0-6 to an 8-8 record in 2009 and went the opposite direction in 2010. Fisher who is ranked 3rd among active coaches in wins with 147 did a great job coaching with the Titans. He led them to 1 superbowl and 6 playoff apperances. Fisher was a great coach and will be missed.

Jays Acquire Frank Fransisco

The Toronto Blue Jays have swapped positions with catcher Mike Napoli and sent him back in the AL West for Relief Pitcher Frank Fransisco. This was a good trade for both teams since the Blue Jays were looking for a closer after Kevin Gregg was signed by the Orioles. The Rangers needed a catcher and Napoli is perfect, with great power Mike Napoli will help a dangerous hitting team led by Josh Hamilton and others such as Nelson Cruz, Michael Young, Ian Kinsler and now Napoli. This was a great move for the Rangers and Napoli may have some chances to play 1B. Even though the Rangers lost Vladimir Guerrero to free agency and they can't sign him back because of Cap Room. The Rangers will still be solid with the good addition and so will Jays with Fransisco.

Damon, Ramirez back in AL East

The Tampa Bay Rays have signed former Red Sox teammates Johnny Damon and Manny Ramirez. This will help the Rays a lot on offense after losing OF Carl Crawford to the Red Sox, things were not looking so good until they signed 2 veterans that are great and have a lot of experience in them too. Damon's contract was worth 5.25M and Manny Ramirez's contract was worth 2M. These additions will help the Rays in the OF and maybe DH because Manny is a power hitter.

Jays acquire Rivera, Napoli for Wells

The Toronto Blue Jays acquired catcher Mike Napoli and outfielder Juan Rivera and sent outfielder Vernon Wells to the Angels. This was a great trade for both teams, The Angels needed more power on offense and the Blue Jays brought more power to there lineup. Wells will make an impact for the Angels. He can smack doubles, hit HR, batt for a good average, this guy is a beast. For the Blue Jays they will add catcher Mike Napoli who hit 21 HR last season and Juan Riveraa who is a solid player. This trade will help both teams.
