McGehee, Jones exchange arb figures

Found January 18, 2012 on Raise the Jolly Roger!: Yardbarker Blogger Network
PLAYERS: Garrett Jones,  Casey McGehee
TEAMS: Pittsburgh Pirates

The Pirates have not yet reached agreements with their two remaining arbitration eligible players (Garrett Jones and Casey McGehee), but it looks like they will soon. Tuesday night was the deadline for arb-eligible players and teams to exchange 2012 salary figures. Jones asked for $2.5 million while the Pirates submitted $2.25 million. McGehee asked for $2.725 million and the Bucs submitted $2.35 million. Those differences are pretty small, and I’d expect both to reach a deal in between before going to a hearing. If not, such a hearing would occur in early-to-mid February. Tim’s updated estimate of the 40-man roster payroll now stands just above $46 million. Exciting stuff, I know. Hopefully there will be some REAL news soon… ©2012 Raise the Jolly Roger. All Rights Reserved..

Ludwick to the Reds

Via Baseball Musings  |  January 17, 2012
The Reds signed Ryan Ludwick to a one-year contract, and Redleg Nation is not impressed: File this under “It could be worse”: Best thing about Ryan Ludwick is that he doesn’t spell his name “J-u-a-n P-i-e-r-r-e” or “R-i-c-k A-n-k-i-e-l.” Ryan Ludwick’s career certainly seems to be fading as he ages into his early 30s.
