Texas signed former Nippon League reliever Jorge Nava to a 3-year 3.54M dollar deal. He last pitched in the ABA in 2004. He as part of LA's back to back titles in 1998-99. 26-21 37 SV 4.00 ERA in 409 IP Texas has put him in a setup role.
Las Vegas signed former Gossage and Rivera award winner Mike Fankhauser to a 3-year deal. The 35-year-old lefty will receive 2.44 million per season with a vesting option (40 GF) of 2.44M in 2012. He is apparently going to help setup Domenic Helmrich (40 SV 2.69) in what was already the AL's best bullpen.
San Francisco pilfered LA Storm 3B Luis Santillan with a 3-year 9.88M dollar deal. The 36-year-old hit a combined .278-23-62 in 120 games between Ohio and LA. The 11 time all star and 3 time gold glove/silver slugger winner has hit 546 career home runs and driven in 1519 over his 2155 games played in 14 seasons. He won the 2004 HR title hitting a career-high 57 for the Generals. He currently ranks 8th in games played (2155) 10th in hits (2235) 6th in total bases (4311) 7th in Home Runs (546) 5th in RBI's (1519) 4th in K's (2188) and 7th in WAR (68.5). San Francisco manager Brad Carey has told Santillan he will likely hit 3rd in the Bears lineup.
Memphis signed former Jacksonville Panther SP Luis Espinoza to a 6-year free agent contract today. The 28-year-old lefty will receive 25.6M over the life of the contract with base salaries of 3.84, 4.04, 4.28 and 4.480 over the final 3 seasons. This was seen by many as a great deal for Memphis. Espinoza is 62-61 4.08 lifetime with 165 starts and 1054.1 IP. He's struck out 813 and walked 310. He was Jacksonville's 1st pick (3rd overall) in 2002 out of Texas Tech.

The 35-year-old is coming off his 3rd straight losing season (24-38 since 2007). He's 132-115 4.31 over his 11 years. A 2 time all-star.

Memphis appears to be this winters mover and shaker. They commit 27.48 million over 6 years to former Miner 1B Dan Goodman then immediately turn around and send 26-year-old slugger Brad Rivera (.267-27-89) to LA in exchange for star Center fielder Tim Taylor and the Storms 3rd round draft choice. Taylor is a two-time gold glove winner as well as winning two silver sluggers in center. He's a career .292/.346/.449 hitter with 94 HR's 464 RBI's and 131 career SB's.
