Here’s what’s been going on around baseball recently.
According to his agent, Antonio Alfonseca signed with the Phils for one year and up to $1.1MM. Elbow woes derailed his 2006 with Texas, but he’s lost some weight and is ready to go. He still dominates the league in one category. Philly is a good place to slip into some save opps.
The Pirates have upped their offer to Brian Lawrence. It’s apparently a Major League deal. Dejan Kovacevic still thinks the Rockies are the favorite. Colorado is quietly stockpiling useful pitchers.
The Devil Rays could bring back Victor Zambrano, an amusing idea. Zambrano, 31, hopes to be ready in April following TJ and a flexor muscle tear.
I think I reported the near signing but not the signing – the Mets now have Jorge Sosa. He’ll turn 29 next spring and at least made some progress with his control in ’06.
