Baseball Betting Lines

Rodriguez, who was acquired on July 12 of last season in a trade from the New York Mets, had a mutual option worth $17.5 million dollars for next season declined by the Brewers shortly after the end of the season.

 

Toronto, ON (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Toronto Blue Jays have signed pitcher Carlos Villanueva to a one-year contract worth $2.27 million, avoiding arbitration. In 33 games last season, his first with Toronto, Villanueva held a record of 6-4 with an earned run average of 4.04. He started 13 of those games, a career high for the right-hander.

 

Kansas City, MO (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Kansas City Royals have agreed to terms on a contract with outfielder Mitch Maier for the 2012 season, avoiding salary arbitration. Financial terms were not disclosed.

 

Maier is the longest-tenured member on the Royals' 40-man roster and will start his 10th season in the organization. He was selected by the club with the 30th overall pick of the 2003 draft.

 

His 14 wins gave him at least 10 wins in five straight seasons, making him the first Phillies pitcher to do so since Hall of Famer Steve Carlton's 13-year streak from 1972-84.

 

An NLCS and World Series MVP for the Phillies in 2008, Hamels has spent his entire six-year career in Philadelphia and has posted a 74-54 mark to go along with a 3.39 ERA. He's also the Phils' all-time leader in postseason wins with seven.

 

Valdez will earn $930,000, plus incentives, after batting .249 in 99 games last season. He also hit .370 with runners in scoring position.

 

Pittsburgh, PA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Pittsburgh Pirates agreed to a one-year deal with pitcher Jeff Karstens, thus avoiding arbitration. Karstens finished 2011 with a 9-9 record and a 3.38 earned run average, the best of his career, in 30 games -- 26 starts-- for the Pirates.

 

Milwaukee, WI (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Milwaukee Brewers have named former infielder Craig Counsell as a special assistant to the general manager. Counsell wrapped up a 16-year big league career in 2011 with the Brewers, for whom he played his final five seasons. He batted .178 in 107 games last year.
