Braves resigned Eric Hinske and didn't offer Matt Diaz a contract. They also skinned the ChiSox in the Linebrink deal, giving up a mid level type reliever while also getting cash.

Pirates made a few non-tender moves. Including Lastings Milledge who's looking like one of those highly-touted first-round busts, although he's still only 25 or so. He wasn't horrible with the Pirates (and was very good against left-handers), but had no power and was poor enough against righties that I can't see him being anything more than a platoon guy/pinch-hitter.

In news that will amuse Indian fans, Pittsburgh signed Andy Marte to a minor league contract.

Bronson Arroyo has reached an agreement with the Reds for extension that takes him and the club through 2013. The total deal is three years worth $35 million.

San Diego is basically Heaven for any pitcher, especially those looking to revive their career.

I knew him being out of the NL Central was too good to be true.

I think it is a player option rather than a team option. I wonder how many more millions the Yankee's wasted on that!

Braves signed a lefty for the bullpen George Sherrill.

Funny quote regarding the signing. They had discussions with another left reliever Will Ohman who said he "could be the rug that ties the room together." A nice Big Lebowski reference. After learning of Sherrill's signing today he said "George Sherrill peed on my rug."
