- TARPONS EXTEND YAMADA
- 25 year old reliever Tsunesuke Yamada and the Florida Tarpons have agreed to a 5 year 9.725 million dollar contract extension. The young reliever was set to become a free agent at seasons end but the club had expressed a strong desire to try and keep the southpaw in the Tarpon navy and red.
- Yamada is 1-2 2 Saves 3.20 this year and career he's 12-8 7 Saves 3.71 ERA with 335 K's and 169 walks in 361 career innings. He had a breakout season in 2010 going 2-1 2 Saves with a 2.24 ERA and 94 K's in 64.1 IP.
- GM'S OFFICE
- I really wanted to get this one done. He's the perfect setup/stopper arm pre-9th inning and allows me to go with an R/L bridge to get to Turner. He's making 885 this year and was a comp FA if I wanted to let him go. I have arms but he's a legit closer option, and he's just 25. His base is 1.38/1.68/.1.88 and 2/385 with a 5th-year player option at 2.38.

- Luis Valles (KC) tossed a 3-hit shutout in a 7-0 win over LA. He finishes 15-15 4.92
- Luis Santillan (SF) became just the 3rd player in league history to hit 600 career home runs. Santillan went 2-5 hitting his 600th and 601st career homers and drove in all 5 in the Bears 5-4 win over San Antonio. He trails Chris Frederick by just 7 and the all-time record is 643 held by Pat Stephenson. He is far ahead of active players leading Detroit's Loan Auffret 78 HRs.
- Pittsburgh wins the NL East in dramatic fashion as they needed 18 innings to down Oklahoma. The euphoria was short lived however as they learned Koufax candidate and ace Sean Riggs will undergo Tommy John Surgery and be lost for this postseason and likely all of 2013.
- Washington will play San Antonio in the play in game.
- Alaska and Memphis both lost so they will need to play a tiebreaker to determine the 2nd AL wild-card team.
