VERO BEACH -- Tis the season... not just the holiday season, but the season of Free Agency. The 'Wolves chose to release John Smoltz, with a $7.5 million buyout, with one year left on his $15.1 million contract. GM David Gandy then turned around and offered Smoltz a 1-year $780,000 contract, keeping Smoltz with the team at least 1 more year.
So far this year the SeaWolves have inked Smoltz, and relievers Peter Moylan and Eddie Kunz. Moylan is coming off Tommy John surgery and is expected to be out for most of the season. Kunz, a 22 year-old right-hander, is expected to help the SeaWolves in 2010 from the bullpen.
The SeaWolves have offered CF Andruw Jones a shot at making the club, but negotiations are continuing late into the evening.
