A couple of transactions of note this afternoon, while I've been out and about...
Travis Metcalf has been claimed on waivers by the Kansas City Royals. Given that the Royals have Alex Gordon pretty well entrenched at third base, I don't know that this is going to do much for Metcalf's career, but the Royals now have a backup option in AAA for Gordon.
And more importantly, Brett Perryman (aka zywica) is going to start blogging at the DMN Rangers blog. Congrats to z on the gig, and congrats to the DMN for picking up a solid addition to their blogging roster.
