Pedro a Padre

I don't know if Adam would bother to comment on such ephemera, but in the interest of completeness, I will note that Pedro Astacio has signed a minor-league deal with the San Diego Padres.  You can watch him pitch if you're in the Portland area.

For now, Texas still owes him the rest of his $800,000 base contract.  By my calculations, he also earned $175,000 in incentives ($25,000 for starts 10-12, plus $150,000 for his two full months on the active roster).
