Arbitration Decision Day

Found December 12, 2011 on Raise the Jolly Roger!: Yardbarker Blogger Network
PLAYERS: Charlie Morton,  Chris Resop,  Evan Meek,  Garrett Jones,  Jason Grilli,  Joel Hanrahan,  Jose Veras
TEAMS: Pittsburgh Pirates

Tonight (midnight) is the non-tender deadline for arbitration-eligible players. Teams need to decide whether to offer salary arbitration (a decent raise) to a player, or non-tender him and make him a free agent. Here are the eight arbitration-eligible Pirates: Charlie Morton Chris Resop Evan Meek Garrett Jones Jason Grilli Jeff Karstens Joel Hanrahan Jose Veras Hanrahan, Morton, Meek, and Karstens are locks to be tendered. There’s some doubt surrounding the other four, although I’m guessing everyone will get an offer except for Veras (and he might as well). There are plenty of semi-interesting players around the league that will join the free agency pool tonight - here’s a list of candidates from MLBTR. I’ll post an update tonight as soon as I can once we know what happens. ©2011 Raise the Jolly Roger. All Rights Reserved..

Pirates trade Jose Veras to Brewers for Casey McGehee

tweeted: With Jose Veras likely on his way out at tonight’s arbitration deadline, the Pirates were able to flip him to Milwaukee (of all places) for Casey McGehee. McGehee, 29, is pretty much the definition of this Pedro Alvarez “contingency plan” we’ve been hearing about. He’s primarily a third baseman (although he has played a few games at first) and...

Brewers trade McGehee for surprisingly useful reliever

Via Brewers Bar  |  December 12, 2011
This probably shouldn't be as much of a surprise as it was, but the Brewers capped off a busy day by trading Casey McGehee to the Pittsburgh Pirates for reliever Jose Veras. With Aramis Ramirez signing with the Brewers earlier in the day and the non-tender deadline at 11 p.m. Central, today seemed like a good bet to be McGehee's last with the Brewers one way or another...
