Jose Offerman has been suspended for life from Dominican baseball for his attack on an umpire.  The American umpires that had been working the game resigned and left the country in protest to the conditions that allowed the attack to take place.

SI’s Jon Heyman ranks the Red Sox #2 in his top ten offseason performances by team.
