Now that you're caught up with the whirlwind of MLB moves over the past week, take a breather while checking out some of our editorial coverage with a look at the Yonder Alonso trade, the Michael Cuddyer signing, a great interview by Marisa of Pinestripe Alley's Brandon C, and a completely harmless poll about PED use and player image:

How Does the Yonder Alonso Trade Affect Anthony Rizzo? - MLB Daily Dish
Yesterday, the San Diego Padres traded their left handed pitcher Mat Latos to the Cincinnati Reds. In return, along with a slew of prospects, the Padres received first baseman Yonder Alonso.
