CONTRACT NEWS
Oakland and Sal Bando reached agreement on a 3 year extension worth over two million dollars.

ROYALS TRANSACTION NEWS
P Dave Wickersham was designated for assignment and placed on waivers by the Royals. P Don O’Riley was activated from the disabled list.

Curious timing since Wickersham got the save yesterday, but that’s the way things go. Perhaps he wasn’t getting along with Carlos Ramirez? Something to think about.
