(San Diego, CA) -- The Cardinals are adding a power bat to the roster. On the last day of the Winter Meetings, they signed free-agent first baseman Mark Reynolds to a one-year contract. He batted just .196 with Milwaukee last season, but slugged 22 home runs. Reynolds can also play third base.
Baseball's Winter Meetings ended with the Rule 5 Draft Thursday. With the 16th selection, the Cardinals nabbed 25-year-old, right-handed pitcher Tyler Waldron from the Pittsburgh Pirates organization in the Triple-A Phase of the draft. He finished last season at Triple-A Indianapolis.
Sox, Marlins Pull Trade
(San Diego, CA) -- The White Sox and Marlins pulled a trade on the final day of the Winter Meetings. The Sox sent pitcher Andre Rienzo to Miami for lefty Dan Jennings. Rienzo was 4-5 with a 6.82 ERA while Jennings was 0-2 with a 1.34 ERA in 47 games last season.
