Voided the team option year(s) of RP Siu-chung Zhan for a buyout of $600,000.

This was an easy decision. All the talent in the world and absolutely no results.

Signed RP Daniel González to a 1-year contract extension worth a total of $1,660,000.
Signed LF Barry Kelly to a 1-year contract extension worth a total of $720,000.

Other than giving up a bunch of homers in August, Gonzalez provided cheap, solid relief work all year and the Hustlers gladly signed up for another year with him. Kelly was a tougher decision. He won't be ready to play until at least June, but it was only a $720K investment to bring him back and see if he might be able to contribute. Good corner outfield defense and big power earns players multiple chances.

Signed SP Weston Hand to a minor league contract extension.
Signed SP Taisho Nakagawa to a minor league contract extension.
Signed RP Duncan King to a minor league contract extension.
Signed RF Kadar Ala' al din to a minor league contract extension.
Signed SP Aliyy bin Zaim to a minor league contract extension.

Strictly depth guys here. Nothing much to see, though Nakagawa is a perennial sleeper candidate for the big league pen.

Damnit! Now we still have to either find a way for Dan to fit into the current roster construction, or get rid of him and his salary. Damnit!!!!

RP Norm Alldritt was designated for assignment and placed on waivers.

There's a bit of a 40-man crunch, and Alldritt is the first man out.
