Bay City Ball (Giants): Huff Re-Signs

Baseball Time in Arlington (Rangers): Rangers Sign Yorvit Torrealba to two-year, $6.25 million deal
"There's a definite element of risk here, but Torrealba's record indicates that the Rangers are pretty likely to extract above-replacement level production out of him, and that over a span of 350-400 plate appearances he can furnish at least one win above replacement with the potential for something even more substantial."

It's About the Money, Stupid (Yankees): Does the Uribe signing give Jeter's side the "other suitor" they need?
"I know the team wants to hold the line on salaries and there’s a very big part of me that applauds this attempt. However, to choose Jeter as that guy to stick it to strikes me as misguided and disappointing." Seems to me, it's not the Yankees "sticking it" to anybody, but Jeter choosing to extort as much out of the Bombers as he possibly can (which is his right, but is likely not a winning strategy given his lack of leverage).
