Braves To Sign B.J. Upton
By Ben Nicholson-Smith [November 28 at 4:49pm CST]
4:49pm: It's a five-year, $75.25MM contract, Rosenthal reports (on Twitter).
Upton declined a qualifying offer from the Rays, which means the Rays are now eligible to obtain a top pick in the 2013 draft. The Braves will surrender their first round draft pick to sign Upton, though that selection won't go directly to Tampa Bay.
Rockies will discuss Fowler and Cuddyer.

Denard Span to the Nationals for Alex Meyer (former Kentucky Wildcat). He's more or less comparable to Robert Stephenson for us.
BREAKING: @Nationals acquire OF Denard Span from @Twins for Minor League RHP Alex Meyer.

Reds Notes: Span, Latos, Bailey, Ludwick
By Mark Polishuk [November 29 at 5:45pm CST]
With B.J. Upton now a Brave and Denard Span now a National, the Reds' outfield/leadoff hitter options are thinning out, writes MLB.com's Mark Sheldon. The Reds tried to acquire Span from the Twins at last year's trade deadline, though Sheldon hadn't heard anything about the Reds continuing their pursuit for Span this winter. Sheldon believes Michael Bourn and Angel Pagan are too expensive for the Reds and Shane Victorino may be as well, though Cincinnati is one of at least seven teams who have shown interest in Victorino's services.

Tomorrow, November 30, is the non-tender deadline. Teams declining to tender contracts to arbitration eligible players allow them to become free agents. The non-tender date is earlier this year, apparently under the new CBA.
This could result in last minute trades (like tonight) of arbitration eligible players - trade them rather than let them go for nothing. And it opens up a new group of free agents for this off-season.

The Royals announced that they won't tender outfielder Derrick Robinson a contract for 2013 (Twitter link). Robinson has no MLB experience so he wasn't arbitration eligible.
