MLB NEWS

The NY Mets have been really busy in the off-season so far, not only did they pick up outfielder Jason Bay from the Boston Red Sox, they have just signed outfielder Gary Matthews Jr from the LA Angels.

The Philadelphia Phillies were able to lock up two-time Gold Glove winner Shane Victorino under contract until 2012. Victorino had asked for $5.8 million through arbitration but was able to work out a deal for $22 million over the next three years.

After going 19-5 for the Seattle Mariners last season and showing everyone that he is one of the most dominate pitchers in baseball today, Felix Hernandez finally got the deal he was looking for. Hernandez just signed a 5-year $78 million contract with the mariners who also added World Series Ace Cliff Lee already this off-season.
