Kendall to Milwaukee; Hunter has five offers

• The Brewers signed Jason Kendall to a one-year deal. The 33-year old catcher batted .241 with three homers and 41 RBI with the Athletics and Cubs last season.
• The Angels may have interest in two of their former players: David Eckstein and Darin Erstad.
• The Yankees would consider trading Philip Hughes in a deal for Johan Santana. Boston might think about parting with Clay Buchholz.
• Cincinnati may deal either Ryan Freel or Josh Hamilton to clear a spot for prospect Jay Bruce. However, it seems very unlikely that they would trade Hamilton.
• Ian Snell of the Pirates may be on the trading block. The 26-year old right-hander posted a 3.76 ERA in 2007.
• It has been reported that Torii Hunter has at least five offers on the table. The Rangers and White Sox appear to be the two most aggressive teams in the sweepstakes, while the Nationals, Dodgers, and Royals have all made offers, as well.
• Troy Percival is drawing plenty of interest. Some teams chasing him include the Yankees, Giants, Brewers, Astros, and Rays. The 38-year old posted a 1.80 ERA and struck out 36 in 40 innings last season.
• There is a rumor that Oakland GM Billy Beane may trade both Danny Haren and Joe Blanton.
• The Mets may wind up non-tendering Johnny Estrada, whom they just acquired in a trade for Guillermo Mota yesterday.
• Texas is slightly interested in Scott Podsednik. The 31-year old outfielder was designated for assignment by the White Sox yesterday.
