Albert Pujols will probably chase 3,000 and perhaps even 4,000 hits. He may make a run at the all-time home run record. But he will not pursue baseball history as a member of the St. Louis Cardinals. Pujols agreed to a 10-year contract with the Angels on Thursday, bringing to an end one of the greatest Cardinal careers in franchise history after 11 seasons.

Clay Hensley, one of the Marlins' most versatile pitchers the past two seasons, was designated for assignment on Friday afternoon.

The Rays announced Friday that they agreed to an eight-year deal with Matt Moore, who has made only five Major League appearances and two starts between the regular season and postseason. The first five years and $14 million of the deal are guaranteed, with club options for 2017, '18 and '19 that could raise the contract's maximum value to $39.75 million.

The D-backs announced on Friday that 34-year-old infielder Lyle Overbay has been signed to a one-year deal.

Three major signings in five days is a clear sign the Marlins are thinking — and spending — big. It's all part of their plans to become upscale in every way.

Question of the Day: Where will Prince land?

Amid a throng of media, scouts and baseball executives, Orioles pitcher Zach Britton walked through the lobby of the Hilton Anatole earlier this week with a mixture of curiosity and awe.

The Rockies and Padres achieved some resolution on Friday, when San Diego sent pitching prospect Nick Schmidt to Colorado as the player to be named in the Huston Street trade.

Once the Marlins were able to reach agreement with Mark Buehrle on Wednesday, the team knew it no longer was in the Albert Pujols Sweepstakes. Marlins president David Samson briefly addressed the pursuit of Pujols on Friday.

Cubs outfielder Tony Campana, who overcame Hodgkin's lymphoma as a youngster to play Major League baseball, was voted the winner of the 22nd annual Tony Conigliaro Award on Friday.

Selling Mark Buehrle on the benefits of signing with the Marlins was half the challenge. Convincing his wife was the other. After weeks of negotiations, the Marlins succeeded in doing both.

Having added Albert Pujols, the Angels have three capable first basemen on their depth chart, with only one of them — the new $254 million man — expected to see significant time there.

Marlins reliever Juan Carlos Oviedo, formerly known as Leo Nunez, was arrested and released in his native Dominican Republic on Thursday as a result of his alleged use of false documents.

Meggie Zahneis goes to Redsfest every year with her family, but this year, there was one big difference: She was attending as MLB.com youth correspondent, there for official work purposes.

When the Miami Marlins look back on the Winter Meetings, they may not see their most important acquisition as something that can get a runner home from third base in the eighth inning or nail down a save in the ninth. The Marlins acquired credibility, truckloads of it.

The early-morning sizzle on the final day of the Winter Meetings did not douse the flame on the Hot Stove free-agent market, it turned up the heat.

The Angels, in a big and bold way, addressed holes on a club that was close, as opposed to the Marlins, who augmented a 90-win team. That's why I'll give them the edge in this highly subjective struggle.
