‘Round the Bases…

by Anthony Amobi

Bronson in Cincy: Right handed pitcher and sometimes rocker, Bronson Arroyo and the Cincinnati Reds agreed Thursday to a $25 million, two-year contract extension through 2010. He was an NL All-Star in 2006, & led the major leagues with an amazing 240 2/3 innings pitched and was 14-11 with an ERA of 3.29.

He’s a personal favorite of mine as he can rock decently, and also you cannot forget his cornrolls he sported a few years ago.

I still wonder why the Red Sox traded him, and it’s a decision that should have never been made.

* Second baseman Jose Castillo and the Pirates avoided arbitration Wednesday, agreeing to a $1.9 million, one-year contract.

* According to ESPN’s Buster Olney, The A’s have reached an agreement with free agent outfielder Shannon Stewart for a one-year deal that could be worth as much as $2.5 million with incentives, pending a physical.

* Happy Trails: Third baseman Vinny Castilla officially retired from baseball on Wednesday. In a solid career, he 320 homers in a 16-season career with Atlanta, Colorado, Tampa Bay, Houston, Washington and San Diego.
