The Oakland Athletics have traded left-hander Dana Eveland to the Toronto Blue Jays for a player to be named later or cash considerations. The 26-year-old Eveland was designated for assignment by the club Monday. While Eveland began and finished the 2009 season in the A's rotation, he mostly pitched for Triple-A Sacramento.

A person with knowledge of negotiations told The Associated Press on  Thursday, Feb. 4, 2010, that Seattle and the oft-injured left-hander who cost the team five prospects in a 2008 trade are getting close to a one-year contract, pending a physical that could be tricky. The former Orioles ace has been in his native Canada doing rehabilitation following surgery in August on a torn labrum in his pitching shoulder.

Despite shoulder surgeries and disappointment in Seattle during each of the last two seasons, free-agent left-hander Erik Bedard is coming back to the Mariners. General manager Jack Zduriencik announced Saturday the team and the oft-injured 30-year-old agreed to a one-year contract with a mutual option for 2011.
