The Nationals have agreed to a 1-year deal with RHP Edwin Jackson. He went 12-9 last season, won a game in the NLCS, but got hammered in the 2011 World Series. For a team that needs to rebuild, this move is pretty solid, but if Jackson isn't able to hold up his accuracy, he will be in for a very early retirement.

RHP Livan Hernandez has signed a minor league deal with the Houston Astros. The former Met was 8-13 with a 4.47 ERA in 2011, the first year he failed to pitched at least 200 innings in his career. This move keeps Hernandez, one of the greatest hitting pitchers of the deignated hitter era, in the National League.
