Looks like some lucky Japanese team is getting Bryan LaHair. He was coveted last offseason by a number of teams.

Earlier this offseason Seibu was rumored to be getting an approx. $3.6m offer ready for LaHair.

those 6 weeks he was good were fun

Chicago Cubs @Cubs
#Cubs today acquired RHP Barret Loux and a player to be named from the Texas Rangers for RHP Jake Brigham.

Trades!

I hope SK Wyverns signs Volstad.

Ichiro sent a package to the Seattle woman who always had the sign tracking his hits.

Talked to my friend with the Phillies and he said that he really thinks they'll get BJ. But some in their organization like him more than he does.

I'm happy for Beej, he's a good guy

B.J. Upton is the type of player Philadelphia fans love to boo.

The Dodgers will have more annual revenue than the Marshall Islands.

@Ken_Rosenthal: RT @RaysBaseball: Happy Monday--The Rays and Evan Longoria have agreed on a contract extension that could keep him in a Rays uniform through the 2023 season. Longoria's new contract incorporates the salaries for 2013-16 and extends 6 more years through 2022 for an additional $100 million.

@Ken_Rosenthal: Agents had viewed Longoria's original 6-yr., $17.5M deal among worst for a player in game. Longoria now signed for 10 yrs., $136M. Better!

They don't have a new stadium nor do they have one of the horizon and they still manage to not be a bunch of cheapos.

Also, mibs' post is gonna be moved to the Evan Longoria Extension Thread.
