Mike Powers, the agent for just-released pitcher Daniel Cabrera, says he's been on the phone a lot since the Orioles chose to non-tender D-Cab on Friday night. Powers says that 11 teams have expressed interest and one has offered a multi-year deal.
I wouldn't mind rolling the dice on a kid with his pitching arsenal.
Former All-Star left-hander Chris Capuano was close to finalizing an incentive-laden Minor League contract with the Brewers on Monday, according to a baseball source. Capuano, an 18-game winner in 2005 and an All-Star in 2006 who missed all of '08 after his second major elbow surgery, briefly became a free agent on Friday when the Brewers chose not to tender him a contract for next season. The move was purely procedural; because Capuano was arbitration-eligible, he would have made at least $3 million had he been tendered a deal.
Who didn't see this coming?

Phillies betting against the clock with Moyer deal
By signing for two years, Jamie Moyer guarantees that the town of his youth will become the place where he discovers that getting old sucks. Moyer was just plain good last season. No slight of hand, no shallow statistics. Last season was the best he’s been in five years: a terrific strikeout total, a 4.33 FIP and a HR/G under 1. Terrific stuff suggesting that Citizens Bank Park...
