With most teams reporting date for pitchers and catchers about a month away, teams continue to sift through the free agent bargain bin, looking for players to fill out their empty roster spots.
To say the least, this has not been a banner year for free agents around the league.
The New York Mets finalized their contract offer to Tim Redding. Redding, who led his club in wins last season, was released by the Nationals after finishing 2008 with a 10-11 record and an era of 4.95. Redding, 31, threw 182 innings last season and struck out 120 batters.
Good news for Mets fans; Redding was 3-1 against the World F*cking Champions last season.
The reigning AL Champs signed free agent outfielder Gabe Kapler to a one year deal worth $1,000,018.
We're assuming that Kapler isn't a pompus ass by requesting the extra $18. We're also assuming that he's going to use that $18 (to pay for a ticket) the first time he tries to get into Tropicana field because nobody knows who the hell he is.
