Cardinals Sign Tomo Ohka
According to Ken Rosenthal, the Cardinals have signed free agent righty Tomo Ohka to a minor league contract. The Phillies were in on him as well, but the Cardinals gave him a shorter minor league requirement.
The Cardinals talked to Ohka's agent last December, but must have found $1.5MM guaranteed to be prohibitive. It's easier to swallow when the Blue Jays are paying Ohka's salary. I think Ohka's rotator cuff is still kind of messed up, but he might be able to get by in the NL Central.
Check out my profile of Ohka here; he's an interesting character. Unfortunately Ohka likely won't remain a Memphis Redbird long enough to run into Sun-Woo Kim of the Fresno Grizzlies. The two engaged in fisticuffs back in 2000 as members of the Pawtucket Red Sox.
