Arcia is a 4 (below average) for power and hit. .928...

Signing Contreras to a minor league deal to get to Aledmys Diaz. They can be teammates in AAA for a while.

Terry Ryan, the wooer.

From his minor league numbers, it looks like he's more of a flyball pitcher. He might enjoy Target Field.

Redmond and Scott Diamond were teammates on the 2010 Gwinnett Braves.

Dan Johnson (White Sox via Coon Rapids, MN) and Ryan Sweeney (Red Sox via Cedar Rapids, Iowa) are expected to be non-tendered.
