The Phillies have signed lefthanded reliever Dennys Reyes to a one-year deal worth $1.1 million. There is an option for a second year. Reyes last pitched for the Cardinals. In this morning's Rule 5 draft the Phillies took Michael Martinez, a 28-year-old utility infielder from the Nationals. Take that, Nats!
Meanwhile, the money went round and round, up and never down at the winter meetings. Carl Crawford signed with the Red Sox for a whopping $142 million and Cliff Lee started counting his. Trickle, trickle, trickle.
