NL East Notes: Dickey, Lannan, Adams, Ross

Signings / Acquisitions

• The Braves signed utility infielder Ramiro Pena to a one-year deal worth.
• The Phillies signed reliever Mike Adams to a two year/$12M deal with a vesting option for 2015.
• The Phillies signed starting pitcher John Lannan to a one year deal worth $2.5M.
• Phillies claimed Maurcio Robles off of waivers from the Seattle Mariners.

Ongoing Rumors

• The Mets are still going back and forth with the Blue Jays on an R.A. Dickey trade, which could now see seven players swap sides.
• With the recent additions to their bullpen and rotation, the Phillies are expected to focus on upgrading the outfield and they are honing in on Cody Ross.
• The Nationals have made a two year/$25M proposal to Adam LaRoche and they are sticking to it this point, according to Thomas Boswell of the Washington Post.
• The Mets are not expected to receive any outfield help in the Dickey trade and will turn to low cost free agents to address that issue.
• The Braves have Mark Trumbo on their radar now, but the Angels are not interested in moving the slugger right now.
