After some thinking, I rejected the Wolves’ proposal. I want no piece of Rick Evans at this point, and I also don’t want to give up Marvin Ingall. Ingall is a very good fielder all around the infield. Jorge Salazar will leave us after this season. We will need a shortstop. I have my eyes on Ingall here.

January 13 – The Stars add SP Manny Ramos (57-68, 4.39 ERA), who spent his time with the Canadiens so far, and now will make $3.36M over four years.
January 14 – The Raccoons sign ex-WAS MR Andres Otero (23-19, 3.24 ERA, 32 SV) for 2-yr, $700k.
January 14 – Veteran SP Robbie Campbell (213-150, 3.23 ERA) at age 36 returns to the CL North by joining the Indians for 2-yr, $1.72M.
January 16 – The Wolves unload 36-yr old MR Rick Evans (67-73, 2.99 ERA, 495 SV) to the Rebels for 25-yr old 1B Jorge Cruz (.250, 5 HR, 27 RBI in 208 AB) and highly touted pitching prospect Tom Watkins, 19.
January 28 – Former Star SP Jorge Rosa (142-101, 3.62 ERA) heads for Pittsburgh, where the Miners will pay him $3.16M over four years for his services.
February 1 – Ex-BOS SP Chris O’Keefe (107-111, 4.06 ERA) is joining the Rebels on a 4-yr, $3M deal.

Otero was that veteran right-hander I talked about. He is a very good 7th/8th inning guy, and should fit well into that bullpen of ours.
