According to the AP, the Angels offered arbitration to Mark Teixeira, Francisco Rodriguez, Jon Garland, and Darren Oliver today. The last two were uncertain, but the decisions make sense. Oliver now seems less likely to sign elsewhere, as a new team would have to pay the draft pick tax.

The Five Are: Garret Anderson, Jon Garland, Darren Oliver, Francisco Rodriguez and Mark Teixeira. MLB.com Coverage Link Garland and Teix are the lest likely to accept the offer, so those are no-brainers. Any one of the other 3 would not be the...

So far this offseason, Arthur Rhodes is finding that he has some suitors . While they also are looking for a closer, Detroit officials have contacted representatives for left-handers who would pitch in the seventh or eighth innings. Beimel, Darren Oliver (Angels) and Arthur Rhodes (Marlins) are among them. I have no idea whether the Marlins are still talking to Arthur's people, but it appears, they...

Whether we realized it or not, a left-handed reliever is apparently high on the Detroit Tigers' off-season shopping list. The team has reportedly shown interest in Darren Oliver and Arthur Rhodes (yet never seemed to be in on Jeremy Affeldt ), and now might be pursuing Joe Beimel . This past season with the Los Angeles Dodgers, Beimel compiled a 5-1 record and 2.02 ERA in 71 appearances, with 32 strikeouts...

Per Boston.com: 9. Detroit - The front office got the word late last week that it could keep the payroll at about $134 million, same as last season, which means they can sign a cheap free agent (Darren Oliver, Hoffman) or two. A far cry from last season, when they went all out and had nothing [...]

A look at the newest column from Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports. Rosenthal believes the Nick Swisher trade is a prelude to other moves for the White Sox, and shouldn't be judged in isolation. Darren Oliver could follow Damaso Marte and re-sign quickly, as his market value is also diminished by his Type A status. Texas native Kerry Wood is a good match for the Rangers, though they're not going to want...

Last night I completed a post in which I thought the Mets last spot in the bullpen should go to a veteran leader . Now I'm not one for bringing in older players but I think guys like Darren Oliver and Roberto Hernandez serve a purpose, of calming everyone down during rough times. Who knows better about winning then the only player in 75 years to win four World Series rings. Ramiro Mendoza is a 36 y/o...

Rodriguez, Teixeira, Garret Anderson, Jon Garland, Juan Rivera and Darren Oliver have all filed for free angecy. In my opinion I believe we can live without Rodriguez and John Garland. As for a closer I would like to see shields start the season as our closer and have Arredondo set him up and by next year Arredondo take the job depending on if he can keep it up. We need Oliver back unless we add another...
