Transactions - 3/26

[magnumo]

Some interesting transactions (just because they're ex-Bucs) took place on 3/26:

- The Mets re-signed RHP Chris Young to a minor league deal.

- The Rangers released LHP Joe Beimel.

- LHP John Grabow exercised his option to opt out of his minor league deal with the Dodgers and became a FA.

There have been rumors afloat that the Pirates are seeking LH bullpen help. I wonder if they're thinking about Beimel or Grabow. (Hope not.)

On the other hand, I would have liked to see them sign Young..... who obviously was available on a minor league contract. If Young is healthy enough to pitch, he likely will pitch well.

1B-OF Conor Jackson also was released by the Rangers. A few years back, he was a decent player in the NL with the D-Backs. When I saw that he had been released, I checked out his stats..... didn't realize he had fallen apart so badly in the AL.

And now, Zach Duke has been released by the Astros.

And the Twins just released Steve Pearce.

Damn that's a lot of Pirates related updates...I still think they need a better backup, would be interesting if any come over the waiver wire soon. Or maybe they can rid themselves of Correia for a quality backup.
