According to Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle, the A's have traded reliever Russ Springer to the Rays.
Edit:

It's a straight waiver claim, according to Slusser, so the A's will receive nothing in return (besides a small payroll cut).

Nomar in Philly?: The Phillies are looking for a right-handed bat off the bench, and the team's top scout was at the A's series in Kansas City. Did we mention that Philadelphia courted Nomar Garciaparra in the offseason? Could a waiver deal or a waiver claim be in the works? A's general manager Billy Beane would allow Garciaparra the courtesy of OKing a deal. Garciaparra, asked about Philly, said, "Sure, why not?"

An unknown team claimed Trevor Hoffman off waivers, according to Jon Paul Morosi of FOX Sports.

A National League team claimed Aaron Heilman, and Rich Harden was claimed by an unknown team.

The Giants claimed Trevor Hoffman, but it appears that the Brewers will pull the reliever off waivers instead of negotiating a trade, according to ESPN.com's Buster Olney.

The Twins acquired Ron Mahay from the Royals, according to ESPN.com's Buster Olney.

The Twins acquired Jon Rauch from the Arizona Diamondbacks for a player to be named later, according to an MLB.com press release.

The Angels are close to acquiring Scott Kazmir from the Rays for Alexander Torres and Matthew Sweeney, according to MLB.com's Lyle Spencer.

It seems the Twins were the claiming team for Harden

if I were the Cubs, I'd pull him back and get two picks for him this offseason

 

[jpzx]

We're putting forth all this effort in hope that we can be the lucky son of a guns to get swept by the Yankees in a 3-game set come October

 

[kiddin like jason]

Ken Rosenthal said during a segment on FOX Saturday Baseball that a deal between the Twins and Cubs for right-hander Rich Harden could indeed happen.

 

[osh kosh bosh]

Is there any reason to believe that Scott Kazmir can be trusted?
