Why David Ortiz, Red Sox Unlikely To Go to Salary Arbitration Hearing
As a free agent, only a handful of players accept salary arbitration when it is offered them, as most opt to test the market. But, there are a handful of such players each year, and 2012 is no different with Kelly Johnson (Blue Jays), Francisco Rodriguez (Brewers), and David Ortiz (Red Sox) being in that class.
But, it’s Ortiz that has become an overlooked case, one that has vast...

Bullpen will again be a strength in 2012
MILWAUKEE In 2011, the Milwaukee Brewers went into the All-Star break tied with the St. Louis Cardinals atop the National League Central. They went 49-43 in the first half a respectable mark but tore through the second half with a 47-23 record, on the way to a franchise-record 96 victories and their first division title in 29 years.
There may have been no bigger factor in that...

One-year deal has upside for Jackson
It's easy to understand why free-agent right-hander Edwin Jackson signed a one-year contract with the Washington Nationals rather than a three-year deal with say, the Baltimore Orioles.
The Nationals look like contenders. They play in the pitcher-friendly National League. They should give Jackson a strong platform to attain a multiyear deal when he hits the open market again...

The BP First Take: Friday, January 20 by Daniel Rathman
The Brewers’ payroll is set to crack the $100 million mark for the first time in franchise history this season. According to general manager Doug Melvin, that puts the team “way over” its budget. Tom Haudricourt of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel goes on to explain that bringing back Prince Fielder was never feasible—even on a short-term deal—because...

K-Rod avoids arby, gets Madson money
By now, we probably shouldn't be surprised when it comes to news about Francisco Rodriguez. The trade bringing him to Milwaukee was unexpected. Very few people expected him to accept the Brewers' offer of arbitration at the end of the season. And now, perhaps most shocking of all, K-Rod is avoiding arbitration by signing a one-year deal for $8 million. Considering many arbitration...

The Brewers already signed setup man Francisco Rodriguez earlier today for a one-year $8 million agreement. Milwaukee now has their seventh, eighth and ninth inning pitchers which will make it very difficult for opposing teams to regain a lead after the sixth....

Milwaukee Brewers sign Francisco Rodriguez for $8 million

The Brewers announced they've avoided arbitration with reliever Francisco Rodriguez, signing the Scott Boras client to a one-year deal.

Should the Mets have extended Francisco Rodriguez?
One of the main goals of the 2011 Mets was to make sure that Francisco Rodriguez’ $17.5 million option did not vest for 2012. The option would kick in once Rodriguez finished 55 games. Manager Terry Collins utilized Rodriguez like any other manager would use his closer and by the All-Star break, Rodriguez had finished 34 games and was well on his way to having his 2012 salary...

Potential Trade Partners: Angels and Brewers
