Updates from around the league…
The Twins are busy today. They have reached an accord with Joe Crede, likely for less than the 7 MM that he was wanting. No contract details are out yet, but those should come out soon. Not only that, the Twins are trying to shore up their bullpen after adding Luis Ayala. They have made an offer to Type A Free Agent Juan Cruz. The deal would be a sign and trade with the D-Backs so that the Twins do not have to lose their coveted first round pick. If Cruz accepts the deal, the teams will have 48 hours to work out a trade.
Jon Lester says he wants to be a Red Sox player for life. He hopes to work out a long term deal. It is likely he will be the next to receive a long term deal after young players Kevin Youkilis and Dustin Pedroia signed long term deals this off-season. They are doing a great job of signing their young guns to long term deals.
The Rays have signed Jason Isringhausen to a minor league deal. Although Izzy kind of folded last year, I think it is a great deal and could be a very good deal for them if Izzy is still able to get people out. He wouldn’t be the closer if he makes the team, but he does have experience and could mentor Grant Balfour.
David Ortiz and Robinson Cano have stated they both attened the gym run by Angel Prisenal. Prisenal is a steroids-linked trainer.
The Rangers have signed P Kris Benson to a minor league deal.
