MAJOR League Baseball offseason signings heated up on Wednesday, with Milwaukee landing pitchers Randy Wolf and LaTroy Hawkins, Baltimore acquiring Kevin Millwood in a trade with Texas, and the New York Yankees completing the three-team, seven-player swap that brought them All-Star center fielder Curtis Granderson.
New York also re-signed playoffs star Andy Pettitte.
"We are making some adjustments and it's a business decision," Detroit Tigers General Manager Dave Dombrowski said after dealing Granderson to the Yankees and All-Star pitcher Edwin Jackson to the Arizona Diamondbacks.
Detroit obtained lefty reliever Phil Coke and outfield prospect Austin Jackson from the Yankees, plus touted young pitchers Max Scherzer and Daniel Schlereth from Arizona. The Diamondbacks also got pitcher Ian Kennedy from the Yankees.
The Baltimore Orioles will receive about US$3 million from Texas along with Millwood, while the cash-strapped Rangers get a player to be named. The money offsets part of the former All-Star's US$12 million salary. Millwood was 13-10 with a 3.67 ERA this year.
Milwaukee, trying to rebound from an 80-82 record, agreed to a US$29.75 million, three-year contract with Wolf and a US$7.5 million, two-year deal with Hawkins.
Wolf, a 33-year-old left-hander, was 11-7 with a 3.23 ERA this year with the Los Angeles Dodgers. Hawkins, a right-hander who turns 37 this month, went 1-4 with a 2.13 ERA and 11 saves for Houston.
Pettitte got an US$11.75 million, one-year contract, up from a US$5.5 million base with US$5 million in earned bonuses last season. The 37-year-old left-hander was 14-8 with a 4.16 ERA in 32 regular-season starts and 4-0 with a 3.52 ERA in five playoff starts.
