Nats pass on Kearns' option - nationals.com RF Austin Kearns' Washington career appears to be over. THe Nationals declined to pick up the 2010 option on his contract, buying him out for $1 million instead of paying him to play for $10 million. It is obviously the right decisions because Kearns can no longer hit. Kearns arrived with Felipe Lopez in a 2006 trade with the Cincinnati Reds for relievers...

You know, even that's a stretch. However, there are two bits of MLB news that could affect how the 2010 Brewers shape up. Besides, on a slow day like today, what more do you want?

There are only a handful of productive second-basemen on the FA market, so it's a big deal when a 3-time...
