Twins acquired outfielder Craig Monroe from the Cubs for a player to be named.
Leave it to the Twins to find a guy with a worse OBP than anyone else on the market. We hope this is being done with the idea of non-tendering Monroe if he's not willing to accept less than the $4.8 million he made last season. The Cubs were going to non-tender him before the Twins decided it was worth giving up a low-level prospect to acquire his rights. Monroe, who turns 31 in February, hit .219/.268/.370 in 392 at-bats for the Tigers and Cubs last season. He's a career .256/.303/.446 hitter. He'd be a nice guy to have around as a left fielder against lefties and a backup against right-handers, but the Twins can't afford to pay a guy $5 million to play less than regularly and there were better options for that kind of money. We wonder just how much this has to do with his career .322/.356/.544 line versus Minnesota. The Royals are the only team he's been better against.

Tigers acquired LHP Danny Christensen from the Royals to complete the Roman Colon trade.
Christensen was likely to be bumped from Kansas City's 40-man roster this winter anyway. The 24-year-old was a major disappointment in Double-A, going 3-15 with a 6.21 ERA in 140 2/3 innings. Of course, it was only a matter of time before Colon was dropped from the Tigers' 40-man roster as well, and there's a good chance neither team ever benefits from this deal.

Brewers signed LHP Randy Choate to a one-year, $500,000 contract.
Maybe no one but us cares, but that Choate is getting a major league contract could qualify as the most stunning news of the offseason so far. The 32-year-old sidearming lefty has been available frequently enough through the years and seemingly was never pursued by the Brewers before. Choate has a 4.64 ERA and a 129/87 K/BB ratio in 165 innings as a major leaguer. He was up briefly with the Diamondbacks in June and gave up hits to all three batters he faced before being placed on waivers and going unclaimed. He'll battle Mitch Stetter for a bullpen job if the Brewers don't land Ron Mahay or another lefty reliever on their list.

Braves and Glavine are close to a 1 year 7 mil deal.

Re: 2007-2008 Offseason Acquisition Guide
Is this guy the brother of the hot-dog eater?
Quote:
Indians signed RHP Masahide Kobayashi to a two-year contract with a club option for 2010.
Kobayashi, 33, saved 227 games in Japan. He's coming off one of his worst seasons, but he had a 2.95 ERA and 116/29 K/BB ratio in 146 1/3 IP over the last three season. With an 88-91 mph fastball and a quality splitter, he has a chance to be a very good setup man for the Indians. He'll likely join Rafael Betancourt and Rafael Perez in working the seventh and eighth innings in front of Joe Borowski.

Re: 2007-2008 Offseason Acquisition Guide
Not much surprise here - he sucked since the W. Sox won the world series.
Quote:
White Sox designated outfielder Scott Podsednik for assignment
The assumption was that Podsednik would be non-tendered next month, but the White Sox needed his roster spot now. Podsednik could still be traded over the next 10 days. If that doesn't happen, he'd go on waivers. However, he has the service time to declare himself a free agent if claimed

Re: 2007-2008 Offseason Acquisition Guide
Wasn't Bauer a pretty solid reliever a few years back?

Re: 2007-2008 Offseason Acquisition Guide
In 2002 he had a 3.98 ERA, 1.43 WHIP, 45 K and 36 BB in 83 2/3 innings. So, kind of.
