Posted by: | Comments
The San Francisco Giants have signed reliever Clay Hensley to a one-year deal, Henry Schulman of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
Hensley will make a base salary of $750k with a possible $300k in incentives, but the deal is not guaranteed. This means that Hensley will have to earn a spot in the bullpen out of Spring Training.
Last year with the Marlins, Hensley posted a 5.19 era and 6.1 k/9 in 67 2/3 innings. Hensley also made $1.4mm last season.

Friday Hot Stove rumors: Carlos Pena remains a possibility for the Cardinals
Posted by: | Comments
Here’s a running list of rumors around the Major Leagues:
– Carlos Pena remains a possibility to the St. Louis Cardinals to replace Albert Pujols according to Jon Heyman of CBSSports. He adds the the Cardinals could also look at Carlos Beltran and Jimmy Rollins. Whether the will pursue Prince Fielder remains unknown.
– The Texas Rangers are among the teams currently talking to the Oakland Athletics regarding left handed pitcher Gio Gonzalez reports Buster Olney of ESPN. He adds that at least two teams “seem to match up” the A’s demands.
– Ken Rosenthal of FOXSports believes that one of the reasons the Marlins won’t pursue Prince Fielder is because his agent, Scott Boras, would probably insist on a no-trade clause and the Marlins would not change his policy on no-trade clauses. They didn’t do it for Albert Pujols, and they’re probably not doing it for Fielder either.
