Roster Notes
It's been busier than usual around here and I'm missing a few things as a result. With Christmas coming up and lots of things to do just from the move, here's some offseason red meat...
- Former Angel closer Troy Percival signed a two-year, $8M deal to close for the now-just-Rays. This, of course, makes no sense, which is something of the opposite from what you might expect from the recent changes in the Tampa Bay front office.
- The Padres are going to offer, inexplicably, arbitration to Michael Barrett.
- Mark Prior to the Padres? Huh.
- The Rangers will not offer arbitration to their four free agents, Sammy Sosa, Brad Wilkerson, Jerry Hairston Jr. and Jamey Wright.
- Arizona offered arbitration to Livan Hernandez. Why? Maybe they thought they could get him for free...
- Hiroki Kuroda turned down the Hiroshima Carp's bid to retain him as a free agent. He says it's all about going "one step forward as a baseball player".
- The Angels refused Bartolo Colon arbitration. He wouldn't have gotten any compensatory draft picks anyway, so there was no reason to offer it.
- Matt Herges inked a one-year, $2.5M deal with Colorado.
- Ex-Dodger Cesar Izturis agreed to a one-year, $2.85M deal with the Cardinals. The Cards haven't decided on whether to offer arbitration to former Angel David Eckstein, but have clearly moved in another direction.
