Phillies, Antonio Bastardo agree Associated Press
PHILADELPHIA -- The Philadelphia Phillies have agreed with left-hander Antonio Bastardo on a $1.4 million, one-year contract, avoiding arbitration.
Bastardo was 2-5 with one save and a 4.33 ERA in 65 games last season. He struck out 81 in 52 innings. He ranked third among major league relievers in strikeouts per nine innings (14.02), trailing Atlanta's Craig Kimbrel (16.66) and Cincinnati's Aroldis Chapman (15.32). Bastardo also held opposing batters to a .207 average (40 for 193), including a .169 average (14 for 83) by lefty hitters.
The 27-year-old Bastardo was one of baseball's most dominant pitchers in 2011 until the final month. He had a 1.42 ERA and allowed just 19 hits in 50 2/3 innings through August that year.
Bastardo was the last remaining arbitration-eligible player for the Phillies this offseason.

Blue Jays agree with J.A. Happ Associated Press
TORONTO -- Left-hander J.A. Happ has agreed to a $3.7 million, one-year contract with the Toronto Blue Jays, who also reached a $2.6 million, one-year deal with infielder Emilio Bonifacio.
The deals Friday avoided salary arbitration.
Projected as the team's sixth starter, Happ was 10-11 with a 4.79 ERA in 24 starts and four relief appearances last season, striking out a career-high 144. The 30-year-old is 35-35 with a 4.19 ERA in six seasons with Philadelphia, Houston and Toronto.
The 27-year-old Bonifacio, acquired along with Jose Reyes in the November trade with Miami, hit .258 last season with one homer, 11 RBIs and 30 steals in 33 attempts.

Somebody help me out, the White Sox signed Matt Lindstrom to a deal where he will replace Brett Myers (who is now with the Indians) as the 8th inning reliever.
Should I be worried?

Should I be worried? i don't think so he's had a pretty low era the past couple of years doesn't have have a lot of strikeouts though and doesn't really walk a lot of people either

Should I be worried? i don't think so he's had a pretty low era the past couple of years doesn't have have a lot of strikeouts though and doesn't really walk a lot of people either Sounds alright to me. MLB.com's pretty much saying the White Sox bullpen is complete as of this move. Addison Reed is still the closer. (I'm kinda meh about him, teams started to figure him out late in the year.) Lindstrom, Jesse Crain & Matt Thornton are the veteran late-inning guys. Donnie Veal is the guy you call to shut down lefties. Nate Jones is your power middle reliever. (He's been getting more chances to save games, I wouldn't be against a platoon with Reed to close.) And Hector Santiago is preparing as a starter, but if Danks is alright, he'll be inserted into the bullpen. The White Sox say they're in the market for another left-handed bat, but they aren't too worried about it at the moment. They could find other things for Keppinger to do to keep him in the line-up. And the team reached agreements with Alejandro De Aza & Gordon Beckham on deals to avoid arbitration. (Keith Foulke was the last guy they had to take that step with - in 2001.)

Stan Musial has passed away at 92. As a Cardinals fan, Stan Musial's passing hits hard. He was the embodiment of all that was good about baseball. He played in the majors for 24 years and was never kicked out of a game. He also never denied anybody who wanted his autograph, no matter how tired he was after a game. Some of his stats are incredible. There are only two hall of famers who have twice as many walks as strikeouts. Musial is one, Ted Williams is the other. Musial had exactly the same number of hits at home and on the road: 1,815. There will never be another Stan Musial. There will be another "The Man."

Reliever could get his season debut coming in with two men on base with two outs, gives up a 2 run double, but gets a lazy pop-up on the next hitter and his ERA would still be 0.00.

As you stated, this story has been proven false. Chass is without a doubt, the worst writer in baseball now. It was him that really helped lead the parade to fire back at players who were suspected of using stories (he was the guy who say Mike Piazza's "backne") Also just looked his website. That man is a lunatic. He comes off as a rambling psychopath. He has the Spink award too of course.

Curt Flood's own son denies this alleged racism. I'll take his word over the word of a rambling old dinosaur who shouldn't be near a keyboard.
