Odds & Ends: Hart, Dukes, Moreno, Farnsworth

Links for Thursday...

• MLB.com's Adam McCalvy has the details on the Jim Edmonds contract. Bottom line: Edmonds earns at least $850 if he makes the team. He can make $1.75MM more in incentives if he makes 525 plate appearances.
• O's righty Armando Gabino cleared waivers, according to a team press release. 
• MLB.com's Jenifer Langosch points out the intricate points system behind the incentives in D.J. Carrasco's minor league deal with the Pirates. 
• Maury Brown says the Giants' three-year $37MM offer is good, but probably not enough to tempt Tim Lincecum. 
• Corey Hart and the Brewers didn't come to a last-minute agreement before today's arbitration hearing, according to the AP. We can expect a ruling tomorrow. 
• Elijah Dukes, who is not yet eligible for arbitration, agreed to a $444K salary this season, writes MLB.com's Bill Ladson.
• The Mets signed 22 year-old shortstop Rylan Sandoval out of the Arizona Winter League. 
• The White Sox signed 32-year-old righty reliever Orber Moreno to a minor league deal, reports Billy Russo of El Universal.  Said Moreno: "Oswaldo Guillen told me that he believes in me and that he will give me the opportunity."  Thanks to Nick Collias for translating.
• Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports chatted with free agent outfielder Jermaine Dye, who noted that the Cubs offered $3MM.  Dye says it's not about the money, but "there are still guys getting money that I feel I'm better than."
• Dave Cameron of FanGraphs applauds the Royals for giving Kyle Farnsworth a shot at starting this year.
• MASN's Roch Kubatko runs through the worst Orioles rumors of the offseason.
• Bill Plunkett of the O.C. Register talked to free agent Darin Erstad, who still wants to play but hasn't found the right opportunity yet.
