Yankees pick up the 2012 options for Swisher and Cano. Cano also has 2013 as an option year while Swisher was kept more for potential trade next season.
Brewers declined option for K-Rod. |

Tony La Russa has retired. I wonder how this will affect Albert's decision.

I know it's coming, but it'll be a sad day in the bleachers when Swisher leaves.

It's being said that the Mets aren't going to be willing to commit more than 4 years with an option for Reyes.
Good as gone, then. |

Braves trade Derek Lowe to the Indians for a minor leaguer. Braves will eat most of his salary.

Braves save 5 million in the deal. Couldn't have gone much better than that.

And hey, they aren't paying Kawakami like 8 million in Double A anymore. Look at all this money the Braves have now!

A few teams/players are still kicking round options at this time. CC Sabathia, Octavio Dotel, Rafael Furcal, Rafael Soriano, and Zach Duke are the big names of the bunch.

Sabathia stays with the Yankees. Same deal with an extra year tacked on for 2016 worth $25 mil. with a vesting option for 2017.

Red Sox starting the bullpen cleaning by rejecting the options for Dan Wheeler and Scott Atchison.
Marc Scutaro option was picked up for 2012 while Ortiz and Papelbon are Type A options and would bring in draft picks should either go to a new team next season. |

Loving the changes to the Mets' outfield, including making the wall blue. According to Alderson, with these dimensions the Mets would have hit 81 more HRs at Citi over their first three seasons at the park.

Gold Gloves go out in 45 minutes. Im 100% confident Wieters wins at Catcher and I think Hardy should win at SS as he was much better defensively then Aybar and Cabrera, but he missed almost a month and that might hurt him. Markakis wont win, I think Hunter gets it in RF, but its nice to see him nominated.

Jeter isn't nominated. AL SS is Asdrubal Cabrera, JJ Hardy and Erick Aybar.
ESPN 2 at 10pm is the award show |

Potentially the entire list of winners...
AL: Buehrle, Wieters, Gonzalez, Pedroia, Aybar, Beltre, Gordon, Ellsbury, Markakis NL: Kershaw, Molina, Votto, Phillips, Tulowitzki, Polanco, Parra, Kemp, Ethier leaked from the press release which had players listed with a small font that seem to be the winners. |

Frank McCourt throws in the towel. He's gonna sell off the L.A. Dodgers and Dodgers Stadium.
Current estimates put the sale price at $800 mil. - $1.2 billion. |

Theo Epstein has informed Ryne Sandberg that he is not under consideration to be Cubs manager. The Cardinals have received permission from the Phillies to interview him.
