     Juan Abreu-S-RoyalsNov. 21 - 3:35 pm et
    Royals re-signed RHP Juan Abreu to a minor league contract.
    Abreu, 24, recently became a minor league free agent. Armed with an impressive heater, Abreu posted a 1.69 ERA and 28/14 K/BB ratio in 20 relief appearances with Class A Wilmington, but struggled to a 5.75 ERA in 16 games upon a promotion to Double-A Northwest Arkansas.
     Brad Bergesen-S-OriolesNov. 21 - 3:23 pm et
    Brad Bergesen (shin) began a running program this week, reports Roch Kubato of MASNSports.com.
    "It's going great," Bergesen told Kubato. The 24-year-old right-hander ran twice this week to kick off an offseason conditioning program. Bergesen's season came to an end on July 31 after he was hit in the left shin by a Billy Butler line drive. He's had a few bumps in the road with his rehab, but looks to be back on track for spring training.

     Jose Contreras-S-RockiesNov. 21 - 2:24 pm et
    Patrick Newman of NPB Tracker reports that Jose Contreras is seeking employment in Japan.
    There was a report of Contreras reaching out to the Hanshin Tigers earlier this week, but the rumors hold more weight now that we learn his 16-year-old son is hoping to take part in an exchange program with a high school in Japan. The 37-year-old right-hander is expected to visit Japan next week, with the SoftBank Hawks and Hiroshima Carp as the most likely landing spots, based on geography, according to Newman.

     Matt Nevarez-S-AstrosNov. 21 - 2:04 pm et
    Astros purchased the contracts of RHPs Matt Nevarez, Evan Englebrook and Henry Villar.
    The three are protected from the upcoming Rule 5 draft. Nevarez, a 22-year-old reliever, was acquired in the Ivan Rodriguez trade in August. He posted a 2.28 ERA, 1.06 WHIP and 50/15 K/BB ratio in 35 innings between Class A Hickory (Texas) and Class A Lexington (Astros) in 2009.
     Jose Valdez-S-AstrosNov. 21 - 1:57 pm et
    Astros signed RHP Jose Valdez to a minor league contract.
    He was also added to Houston's 40-man roster. Valdez, 26, was 3-2 with a 3.43 ERA in 43 relief appearances between Double-A Trenton and Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes Barre in the Yankees organization in 2009. Though he has pitched in the minor leagues for parts of seven seasons, 2009 was his first at the Triple-A level.
     John D. Gaub-S-CubsNov. 21 - 1:22 pm et
    Cubs purchased the contracts of LHP John Gaub, RHPs Blake Parker and Rafael Dolis, OF James Adduci and C Welington Castillo.
    The five are now protected from December's Rule 5 draft. Armed with a fastball clocked as high as 100 mph, the 21-year-old Dolis surely would have been chosen had he been exposed. That said, he's still a bit of a project, posting a 3.79 ERA and 75/53 K/BB ratio in 99 2/3 innings with Class A Daytona in 2009.
     Roy Halladay-S-Blue JaysNov. 21 - 1:11 pm et
    Blue Jays President and CEO Paul Beeston told the New York Post that Roy Halladay is "not inclined" to re-sign with Toronto.
    "We would like to sign him, he is an original Blue Jay and we have never had a pitcher as good as him," Beeston said. "But he is not inclined to sign with us." New general manager Alex Anthopoulos has already been aggressive in talking to other clubs about Halladay, with an intent to move him this offseason.
