Cash spent parts of eight seasons in the Majors, breaking in with the Blue Jays in 2002. During his career, he played with the Blue Jays, Red Sox, Yankees and Rays.

Over his career, Cash posted a .183 avg in 641 at-bats. Cash was never known as an offensive minded catcher, as he took pride in his game calling. His career year came in 2008 when he hit .225 in 141 at-bats. He also posted career a high in home runs, 3 and RBI’s, 15 that year.

Though his playing days are over, Cash will now become a Major League advanced scout for the Blue Jays organization. Cafardo describes Cash as “one of those guys you always thought would wind up being a Major League manager.”

Crisp will earn $6mm in 2012 and $7mm in 2013. The team option has a salary of $7.5mm for 2014 or a $1mm buyout. If Crisp is traded, he gets a one-time bonus of $250K.

Yesterday, Crisp made his decision to sign with the A’s, his agent Steve Comte told Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle. “Basically, we just have to let that team know.” At the time, the A’s, Blue Jays and Orioles were rumored to have interest, along with the Cubs.

If he signed with the Cubs, he would re-joined another A’s outfielder, David DeJesus who signed a two-year deal earlier in the offseason.

Crisp hit .264 with 140 hits, 49 stolen bases and an OBP of .314.

Ken Rosenthal and Jon Paul Morosi of FOX Sports add that the Yankees, Blue Jays and Texas Rangers are expected to bid on the right-handed pitcher.

Darvish,25 has never posted an ERA above 2.00 in Japan. It is possible that other clubs will become involved in the bidding process for the Darvish who is viewed as another option for clubs who lost out on Mark Buhrle or C.J. Wilson.

For those wondering, MLB clubs have four days to bid on Darvish, then four days for Nippon-Ham Fighters to select a bid then thirty-days to work out a contract with the club with the winning bid.

The Marlins and Blue Jays are known to be looking for an experienced closer, but you can never count the Red Sox out who recently lost their closer. Another team that has to be in the mix is the Angels who are in need of bullpen help and are just north of where Bell currently lives at in San Diego.
