The Minnesota Twins have been relatively quiet this offseason, but making a play for Adrian Beltre to be their 3B and help in the middle of the order could be this team’s ticket to an AL Central crown. Also, Joe Mauer recently had successful kidney surgery.
After signing Khalil Greene, the St. Louis Cardinals have turned their attention back to the pitching staff. The Cardinals are said to be interested in signing Brian Fuentes, and could be involved in discussions about Daniel Cabrera as well.
Published reports indicate that the St. Louis Cardinals and San Diego Padres have agreed on a trade bringing Khalil Greene to St. Louis for two relievers. The names of the relievers have not been published.
The St. Louis Cardinals have declined arbitration on all of their free agents, including veteran pitcher Russ Springer. But was this good move by the Cardinals?
The deadline for MLB teams to offer arbitration to their players passed this afternoon, and the St. Louis Cardinals declined to extend the courtesy to top free agents Jason Isringhausen, Russ Springer and Braden Looper.
The St. Louis Cardinals are currently negotiating with former Rays lefty Trever Miller. Is signing Trever Miller a good move for the Cardinals?
