Roster Notes
A couple things I missed along the highway... most of these are arbitration cases settled by contract.
- The Nationals are still thinking, thinking, thinking about signing Sammy Sosa, but Rotoworld speculates he'll end up on a minor league contract somewhere.
- The Snakes dealt with Orlando Hudson's arbitration case by signing him to a one year, $2.3M deal. Arizona also got Alex Cintron on a one year, $1.6M deal.
- The A's signed catcher Adam Melheuse to a one year, $700,000 contract.
- The Red Sox signed former Dodger Guillermo Mota to a one year, $3M contract.
- The Rangers signed Adam Eaton to a one year, $4.65M deal. He will be a free agent at the end of the year.
- There's a rumor going 'round from Toronto that claims the Dodgers are chasing Bengie Molina; I put no faith in it.
Comments:
The Dodgers-Molina rumor, which has been reported several times over the past few weeks, has always struck me as odd. Why would the Dodgers acquire Molina with D. Navarro & Alomar already on the roster? Doesn't make sense.

The fact that it's being reported on by East Coast -- not to mention Canadian -- media tells you that it's almost certainly gas being used to manufacture interest in the suddenly uninteresting Molina. You're exactly right that the Dodgers' catching situation looks pretty set.
I feel sorry for Bengie. Maybe the Angels will take him back after May 1...

I posted this here before: The Dodgers SHOULD sign Molina and trade Navarro (assuming he has value as a low-cost player) for pitching. Clears room for Martin, the heir-apparent, behind the plate,
