Quick Hits: Figueroa, Mock, Martin, Mets

Links for Saturday night, after Jose Bautista extended his on-base streak to ten consecutive plate appearances...

• The Brewers formally announced their minor league contract with infielder Luis Figueroa, reports MLB.com's Adam McCalvy (on Twitter). The deal was first agreed to last weekend.
• Left-hander Lee Hyde was designated for assignment by the Nationals earlier today, but Adam Kilgore of The Washington Post reports that Garrett Mock was also a candidate to get the axe. He was spared and instead placed on the disabled list.
• Yankees GM Brian Cashman told ESPN New York's Andrew Marchand that the Yankees tried to acquire Russell Martin via trade in each of the last three seasons (Twitter link). Cashman got his man this winter, signing him as a free agent after the Dodgers non-tendered him.
• Mets GM Sandy Alderson indicated to Andy Martino of The New York Daily News that there just aren't any moves to be made right now. "In this situation, there's not a lot that someone in my situation can do," said Alderson. "It's almost organic. [If any moves] happen, if it's going to happen from within."
