Brian Roberts: Roch Kubatko from the Baltimore Sun updates us on the Brian Roberts contract extension talks and there's really no movement on that front.

Catching Up With An Old Friend... Arthur Rhodes agreed Thursday to a minor league contract with an invitation to spring training for the Seattle Mariners. He'll be in the bullpen & will either be a long reliever or setup man.

Nolan Ryan: Baseball pitching legend Nolan Ryan is in the hospital recovering from an undisclosed condition. His son, Reid Ryan said he's at the Round Rock Medical Center in Texas for treatment of recurring symptoms from a pre-existing medical condition. Get well Nolan!
