The Star Tribune reports that the Twins and Mike Lamb have come to terms on a two-year deal with a club option for 2010.

One day after landing the game's best defensive shortstop, they pair him with one of the weakest defensive options to form up the left side of their infield. Lamb will provide them with above average offense from third base, but signing a 32-year-old defensive liability to a mulityear deal isn't going to further their rebuilding effort.

Glendon Rusch and the Padres have reportedly agreed to terms on a minor league deal.

They've been close since the winter meetings. Odds are that the Padres will land another starter later this winter, but if they don't, Rusch could compete for a spot in the rotation. He'd make more sense as a swingman initially.
