NL Central Roundup: Winter Meetings Day 3

After a quiet first couple of days in Nashville, the NL Central finally made some noise, notching its first free agent signing of the winter meetings and completing a minor trade. Two of the three moves aren’t a lot to write home about, but they’re much better than the large amount of nothing coming out of the division on Monday and Tuesday.

Without further ado, here’s a recap of Day 3 in the NL Central.

Signings / Acquisitions

• Chicago Cubs sign OF Nate Schierholtz to one-year, $2.25 million deal
• St. Louis Cardinals sign LHP Randy Choate to a three-year, $7.5 million deal
• Pittsburgh Pirates acquire LHP Andrew Oliver from the Detroit Tigers for C Ramon Cabrera

Ongoing Rumors

• Milwaukee Brewers among teams still interested in RHP Ryan Dempster

In case you missed them, here are the Day 1 and Day 2 recaps for the NL Central. Be sure to check in tomorrow for a full recap of the winter meetings.
