« Mets Sign First Round Pick Reese Havens | Main | Cubs Sign Broussard »

Odds and Ends: Viciedo, Broussard, Rincon, Threets

Time to round 'em up.

• The A's are leading the charge for international free agent pitcher Michael Inoa; they could offer him $4MM.  All teams have scouted him.
• MLB.com's Jim Molony names the Astros, Yankees, Cardinals, Angels, Mets, and Pirates as teams considering Cuban defector Dayan Viciedo (assuming he becomes a free agent).
• The Orioles would like to sign Ben Broussard, if he'll accept a minor league assignment.  Broussard if mulling his options and should sign within 24 hours.  He could step in if the Orioles trade Kevin Millar.
• Jeff Weaver has been released by the Brewers.  Weaver's lost it; he has a 6.22 ERA in nine Triple A starts.
• The Twins have asked Juan Rincon to accept a minor league assignment.  If he refuses, the Twins will be on the hook for his salary and he'll become a free agent.  Rincon's last decent year was 2006.
• No team was willing to keep lefty reliever Erick Threets in the Majors.  He cleared waivers and will head to Triple A as a member of the Giants organization.
• Andy Pettitte wouldn't commit, but admitted it'd be a "joy and an honor" to pitch at the new Yankee Stadium next year.
• Tigers backup catcher Vance Wilson may retire after a setback in his elbow recovery.
