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
Ivermectin Man
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.
Chopping With The Braves And Rolling With The Tide
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.

Sad to hear of players' union head Michael Weiner passing.
Simmons should never be too expensive .
Tigers losing a lot this year
1) Peralta deal is reportedly 4 years, $52 million+
2) Teams have inquired on Cubs pitcher Jeff Samardzija and the Blue Jays are putting together a package of young players to try to land him, a source tells Bruce Levine of ESPNChicago.com
The Cards make a defensive upgrade with Wong moving in at 2B and then sign a statue to play SS.
