Pirates Cut Pedro Alvarez, Seven Others
The Pirates have cut Pedro Alvarez along with catcher Steve Lerud, second baseman Shelby Ford, and pitchers Daniel McCutchen, Jimmy Barthmaier, Ronald Uviedo, Juan Mateo, and Jeff Sues. Alv...
A's Sign Orlando Cabrera
One year, $4 million. Cabrera's 34 and might not have another good year left, but he's a reasonable gamble for Oakland and a nice upgrade over the disappointing Bobby Crosby. Unfortunately, they also ...
Royals Sign Juan Cruz
Everyone loses! Cruz will receive $2.25 million for 2009, $3.25 million for 2010, and a $4 million team option for 2011 in the deal, with a $500,000 buyout. The right-handed Cruz could represent a...

Two years, $20 million, which is a bargain for a guy who'll hit a ton of home runs and net the Nats a couple of good draft picks when he hits a better free agent market. Nats GM Jim Bowden drafted Dun...
LA Times: Pirates "Expressed Interest" in Bobby Abreu
Well, this is interesting. The Dodgers, Atlanta Braves, Pittsburgh Pirates, Cincinnati Reds, New York Mets and Chicago White Sox reportedly expressed interest in Abreu, whom Greenbe...
Orioles Sign Ty Wigginton
Two years, $6 million, which may strike those who remember Wigginton only from his Pirate days as odd, but is actually quite a good deal when one considers that Wigginton hit .285/.350/.526 while play...
Oliver Perez Sticks With Mets
They'll pay him $36 million over the next three years. Next year is still only Perez' age-27 season, believe it or not, and he's already struck out over 1000 batters in the majors. He still has tremen...
