« Discussion: Josh Beckett | Main | Giants Offer Three-Year Deal To Lincecum »

Odds & Ends: McClung, Aurilia, Lincecum, Brewers

Links for Wednesday...

• According to MLB.com's Joe Frisaro, Seth McClung's deal with the Marlins would be worth $800K if he makes the team, not $600K as originally reported (link goes to Twitter). 
• MLB.com's Tom Singer wrote about the hazards of signing pitchers to five-year deals.
• Baggarly tweets that even though he isn't retired, Rich Aurilia has a broadcasting deal in place that is contingent on him not finding a job on the field.
• Tim Lincecum and the Giants are still no closer to a deal, reports Andrew Baggarly of The San Jose Mercury News. Their arbitration hearing is now less than two days away.
• MLB.com's Adam McCalvy takes a look back at the Brewers' arbitration history. The team is scheduled to go to a hearing with Corey Hart tomorrow, which would be their first in 12 years.
• Mariners' GM Jack Zduriencik did not rule out the possibility of adding a catcher, reports Jon Paul Morosi of FoxSports.com (via Twitter).
• RotoAuthority analyzes the Blue Jays' closer situation from a fantasy baseball angle.
• SI's Jon Heyman names his free agent winners and losers.  It's a well-done piece; my only gripe is Jason Marquis being in the loser bracket after signing a two-year, $15MM deal.
• ESPN's Buster Olney reports that before signing with the Padres, catcher Yorvit Torrealba "offered himself to the Mets for $1.4MM."  The Mets "indicated they had no money to spend."
• Aaron Schafer of Viva El Birdos grades the Cardinals' offseason moves and non-moves.
