... And Other Stuff: Roster Notes
Buncha stuff happening that doesn't involve 'roids:
- Rotoworld reports the Rangers have signed ex-Angel Edgardo Alfonso to a minor league deal. Wonders never cease.
- The Rangers signed Kazuo Fukumori to a two-year, $3M deal.
- The A's signed Kiko Calero to a one-year deal, dollars unknown.
- The Milton Bradley deal struck by the Rangers is for one year and $5M.
- Update: Former Angel Alberto Callaspo is now a Royal after the Diamondbacks traded him for Billy Buckner. (Also at MLB.com.)
- Glendon Rusch and the Padres have come to terms on a minor league deal according to Yahoo Sports.
- Update 2: The A's have traded Dan Haren and pitcher Connor Robertson to the Diamondbacks. "In exchange, Oakland will receive a total of six prospects, including outfielder Carlos Gonzalez and left-handers Brett Anderson and Greg Smith. Arizona's first-round pick in 2006, pitcher Max Scherzer, is not a part of the deal." (Hat tip: Catfish Stew.)
- Update 3: The Diamondbacks continue to be busy bees, sending closer Jose Valverde to Houston for OF Chris Burke and RHP Chad Qualls. A stupid move for both teams, as the Astros don't need a closer (they're nowhere near close to contending, thus a closer is unnecessary) and the Snakes get a fourth outfielder without a lot of upside and a better-than-average (but not better than Valverde) reliever.
Update 4: Rotoworld now says Arizona will also get RHP starter Juan Gutierrez. That's a much better deal.
- Update 5: Latest from the Seattle Post-Intelligencer blog is Hiroki Kuroda hasn't made up his mind yet as to which team he's going to play for.
- Update 6: Jim Edmonds has been traded to the Padres. In exchange for Edmonds and cash, the Redbirds are believed to get 3B prospect David Freese. Also at MLB.com, which basically rehashes the same story; negotiations with the team's current centerfielder, Mike Cameron, collapsed suddenly earlier in the day.
