Travis Sawchik of the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review was told by Josh Johnson's agent that the Pirates are one of the finalists to sign his client

MLBTradeRumors had a passing reference to the Braves making an offer to LaTroy Hawkins, which I think was interesting (before he was signed by the Rockies).

I like the fact he won't cost a pick, or a prospect. I am all for either of those being caveats of a move. Plus, if he pitches well we can sell him off at the deadline if we are out of it no harm done. Flip the script and we can offer him arby next year if he is lights out.

The Phillies have signed both Marlon Byrd and Carlos Ruiz. In a related story, the Phillies have signed Depends and the AARP as official sponsors.

Mac signs! Pairing him with Molina!
Cardinals re-signed CB Bryan McCann.
WR Teddy Williams (Achilles') was placed on injured reserve in a corresponding roster move. Originally signed in April, McCann was released at final cuts. McCann has 29 games of NFL experience, and will contribute on special teams in the desert.

MLBTR's Tim Dierkes 'hears' ('scuse me while I piss myself laughing) that all of the teams vying for Josh Johnson are in the NL.
In other news, have to believe the Braves are interested, and wouldn't be surprised if we signed him or were later named as a finalist.

Per Jerry Crasnick, Josh Johnson has agreed to a one year, $8M guaranteed deal with the Padres

Wow I would have taken a flyer on him for 8.5. He will really get his value up there.
Good risk for the Padres.
1/8 isnt bad at all.
Especially in the NL West and those parks.
If Johnson makes less than 7 starts, the Padres get a club option for 2015 at $4 mil.
Thats a good move by both Johnson and the Padres. Health permitting he probably has a career year then the Yankees will throw 100 million at him and be shocked when he spends more than half his contract on the DL.

Damn, there goes the guy I wanted.
I'd see if Johan would take a similar deal.
