| 10/9/2008 | Mike Redmond, C (Min) | The Twins will keep Redmond for another season, paying him $950,000. Analysis: The 37-year-old backup catcher hit .287 in 38 games this season, with 12 RBIs.

| 10/9/2008 | Ambiorix Burgos, RP (NYM) | Burgos will be jailed for three months while awaiting trial for a hit-and-run accident that killed two women. Analysis: The 24-year-old reliever told The Associated Press that a Dominican judge ordered him to remain behind bars Wednesday night out of concerns for his safety. Burgos is accused of abandoning the victims of the Sept. 30 accident and fleeing, charges that can carry six months to two years in prison. He disappeared after the accident but turned himself in Tuesday. Prosecutor Raul Quiroz said an investigation could lead to additional charges. |
