Oh cool, he'll get to play in that new stadium they built for the Omaha Storm Chasers.

The Dodgers apparently like bad contracts so they gave Brandon League a lot of money for no reason.

Angels trade Ervin Santana to the Royals in exchange for Brandon Sisk...Sisk is 26 yrs old he was 3-2 with a 2.54 ERA at Omaha PCL in '12

What they gave LAA for him.

I'd love to pick up Dan Haren for nothing. That's a good use to me of spending the 15m free from Hanley

(lol at the team actually spending that money)

Cubs trade Carlos Marmol to the Angels for Dan Haren.

Shit.

#Angels decline Haren's option. He is now a free agent.

weee

[Miamarlin21]

Apparently the Cubs backed out.

interesting to see #mets have parted ways with jason bay by mutual agreement.

Wow

[emkayseven]

bring him in on a minimum deal. I can't imagine there's anything more than a 1/500k deal sitting out there for him. Another offseason to refresh from the concussions, out of the limelight, out of that atrocious stadium, he could have a decent-ish season. Worst case he's a bench bat. Better than Coghlan

[HUGG]

JASON BAY IS NOW PLAN A!

[Miamarlin21]

Jon Heyman @JonHeymanCBS
sources: Bay will receive his full salary from mets as part of deal

So they just released him, nothing special about it, right?

[HUGG]

Bay is 1 spot in front of Bobby Higginson on BR's EloRater.

I liked Bobby Higginson
