Posted February 2, 201015 yr Red Sox Sign Joe Nelson By Howard Megdal [February 1, 2010 at 6:36pm CST] FoxSports.com's Ken Rosenthal tweets that the Red Sox have signed Joe Nelson to a minor league deal. Nelson pitched for Tampa Bay in 2009, posting a 4.02 ERA in 40 1/3 innings. The 35-year-old righty will have to earn a shot at the big club out of spring training, and his walk rate will have to improve over 2009 (27 in those 40 1/3 innings) to stick with Boston. http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2010/02/red-sox-sign-joe-nelson.html

February 4, 201015 yr Author Orlando Hudson Agrees To Deal With Twins By Tim Dierkes [February 4, 2010 at 5:12pm CST] 5:12pm: Hudson has agreed to sign with the Twins, according to Curtis Kitchen of WHB Radio in Kansas City (via Twitter). 3:01pm: Christensen tweets that the Indians are outbidding Minnesota for Hudson, though he's skeptical considering Cleveland's lack of spending this offseason. 12:32pm: MLB.com's Bill Ladson tweets that Hudson will not play for the Nationals, and a deal is almost done with the Twins. Meanwhile ESPN's Buster Olney and Joe Christensen of the Minneapolis Star-Tribune both seem to believe the Indians are still in the mix (links go to Twitter). 11:59am: The Twins have "intensified their pursuit" of Orlando Hudson, according to Ken Rosenthal and Jon Paul Morosi of FOX Sports. The writers believe Hudson is likely to find a team this week, though the free agent second baseman is still asking for at least $6MM on a one-year deal. Rosenthal and Morosi say the Nationals are not a clear frontrunner for Hudson, who could be swayed by the Twins' status as a contender. The Indians are seen as the least likely of the three suitors.
