Nov 12 RHP Matt Capps has been actively shopped by the Pirates. Despite going 4-8 with a 5.80 ERA and blowing five of 32 save chances, Capps figures to get a significant raise over his $2,425,000 salary through the arbitration process. Yahoo! Sports


Nov 11 The Pirates offered Capps to the Brewers in exchange for J.J. Hardy, according to an American League source, the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

Recommendation: If this report is true, then it shows that the Bucs will likely be looking elsewhere for saves in 2010. Capps endured a campaign of terrifying proportion last year, finishing with a 5.80 ERA, 1.66 WHIP and .324 BAA.
