Brad Thompson-R- Royals

Nov. 19 - 12:33 pm et

Royals agreed to terms with RHP Brad Thompson on a one-year minor league contract.

As a minor league free agent, Thompson was able to agree to a contract before Friday. The contract doesn't include a spot on Kansas City's 40-man roster, but he stands a pretty good chance of making the roster out of spring training, whether out of the bullpen or as a fifth starter. Thompson, 28, had a 4.36 ERA in parts of five seasons with the St. Louis, including a 4.84 ERA in 32 appearances (eight starts) in 2009.

Brad Thompson-R - Royals

Nov. 4 - 1:29 pm et

Cardinals released RHP Brad Thompson.

Thompson would have been arbitration eligible for the first time, so the Cardinal let him go now rather than non-tendering him next month. The 28-year-old right-hander posted a 4.36 ERA in five seasons with St. Louis, including a 4.84 ERA and 34/23 K/BB ratio in 80 innings this season. He should have no problem finding another big league job as a long reliever or fifth starter.

Brad Thompson, who was handed a three-game suspension for throwing at the head of David Wright on August 5, had the punishment reduced to two games Wednesday.

Thompson was also fined an undisclosed amount and maintains his innocence. "I'm surprised," said the reliever. "I thought we had a great case on our appeal and I don't think that it's a fair suspension, but it is what it is and I'll serve it and come back in a couple days."

Brad Thompson-R - Royals

Aug. 6 - 6:07 pm et

Brad Thompson has been suspended three games and fined an undisclosed amount for throwing at David Wright's head Wednesday.

Thompson has filed an appeal, and denied there was intent behind the pitch in a post-game interview on Wednesday. "You throw a ball like at somebody's head, especially after something happened earlier, and you expect a warning," said the reliever. "I'm not going to try to hit David Wright in the head. I'm not going to hit anybody in the head." The Mets, and the home plate umpire, saw the up-and-in fastball as retaliation for the beaning of Albert Pujols one inning earlier.

Jul. 11 - 7:40 pm et

Brad Thompson surrendered five runs in 4 2/3 innings Saturday in a loss to the Cubs.

It's just the third time in 13 games that the Cubs have scored five runs, and all of those games have come against fill-in starters: Thompson, Mike Burns and Seth McClung. Thompson's time in the rotation should come to an end now, as Kyle Lohse is due back tomorrow.

Clay Mortensen-S - Athletics

Jun. 29 - 1:39 pm et

Cardinals recalled RHP Clayton Mortensen from Triple-A Memphis.

Mortensen was the 36th overall pick in the 2007 amateur draft. He was 7-4 with a 4.24 ERA in 14 starts at Memphis. His role has not yet been announced. Mortensen could take Brad Thompson's turn in the rotation or he could be slotted into long relief. Although the Cardinals have not yet announced a corresponding roster move, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch speculates that Khalil Greene will be placed on the disabled list.
