Marlins’ Jose Reyes has televised haircut (AP)

Along with a new uniform, Jose Reyes has a new, close-cropped look. The All-Star shortstop had his dreadlocks trimmed during a nationally televised haircut Friday on the MLB Network.

Fan’s view: Should the Yankees cut ties with Joba Chamberlain? (Associated Content)

News came out on Monday, March 14, that New York Yankees pitcher Joba Chamberlain will have to miss a couple of days due to soreness on the left side of his back.
