A roundup of recent posts from the FSB News page.

– The down economy that has slowed non-Yankees spending in free agency is indirectly impacting NL- and AL-only fantasy baseball players. Do you take a shot on Bobby Abreu on the off-chance that he eventually signs with the Dodgers (or someone else in the league on which you focus)?

– The UFL will debut with four franchises instead of the target of eight, but it’s reportedly still on track to kick off in the fall. Helping with that launch is a recent infusion of $30 million in investor funding.

– We shared the news yesterday about MLB teaming with the NHL to offer an online programming package. Baseball has also joined forces with ESPN, offering a $129.99 subscription to MLB.tv that also includes an ESPN Insider membership. Insider provides greater access to ESPN articles and online programming. Such a deal seems to further blur the line between the network and the leagues that it is supposed to cover journalistically, but I guess it’s a line that has been blurry to various degrees for some time now.
