The wealth of offseason personnel moves did absolutely nothing to dispel the notion the American League is the hitters’ league and the National League is the pitchers’ league. For fantasy owners who play in AL-only or NL-only leagues, the offseason shuffle is doubly important. Changing teams not only alters the environment — sometimes better, sometimes [...]

NEWARK (AP) — Cross impossible off the list of adjectives describing the New Jersey Devils’ playoff chances.
