1) Nationals 2B? OF? Alfonso Soriano lost his arbitration case. He will make $10 million in 2006, instead of the $12 million he was seeking.
Soriano set a record for the highest arbitration salary, breaking the mark of $8.2 million set by Andruw Jones in 2001.
The Nationals want to move Soriano to the OF, but he is not interested in the move.
2) The Yankees re-signed P Shawn Chacon to a 1 year, $3.6 million contract, to avoid salary arbitration.
3) Diamondbacks CF prospect Chris Young broke his right hand while working out in the gym and is expected to miss most of spring training.
4) The Reds signed P Mike Gosling and designated P Luke Hudson for assignment.
Gosling, who had just been released by the Diamondbacks, will be a candidate for the 5th spot in the rotation.
5) Today's birthdays--
