Free agent signings this week:

OF Daniel Nava signed a minor league deal with the Pirates.
P Yu Darvish signed a 6 year $100+ million deal with the Cubs.

There's the NL Central in a nut shell.

Baseball writers are very concerned about the depressed FA spending, so a 31-year-old pitcher only getting $126M makes for a "troubling offseason":

For heaven's sake, Jay Jaffe himself says Darvish should go for 150+!!! Poor guy probably has children to feed.

That's only like 16.3 billion Yen.

Loaiza, who went 126-114 during his 14-year career, faces three felonies, including the possession of over 20 kilograms of heroin and/or cocaine, the police report states. He is scheduled to be in court on Wednesday and bail has been set at $200,000.

The two-time All-Star finished second in American League Cy Young voting in 2003 and made $43.7 million in salary as a pro.

Just a few weeks ago, Loaiza was pressing the flesh with fans at Sox Fest in Chicago.

All the baseball over all the years, I have never been at an OD game anywhere. Looking forward to it.
