In Major League Baseball, the Brewers (www.twitter.com/Brewers) have not discovered the tonic of the tweet. They have 692 followers, the fourth-lowest total in baseball. They are not super songbirds either. Their 215 tweets are tied with the Chicago White Sox for the fifth-lowest total.

The Philadelphia Phillies lead all of baseball with 464,525 followers, which places them far ahead of the second-place New York Yankees, who have 162,050 followers.

Merkin reports that White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen seems satisfied to stand pat with the current composition of his roster, a decision that would leave Chicago without the everyday DH that seemed to be the club's top priority this winter.

The White Sox acquired Juan Pierre from the Dodgers for two minor league pitchers, John Ely and Jon Link.

Pierre will cost the White Sox $3 million in ‘10 and $5 milllion in ’11, with the Dodgers picking up the remaining $10.5 million of his $18.5 million.

Outfielder Dewayne Wise has declared free agency in lieu of accepting an outright assignment to Class AAA Charlotte.

White Sox third baseman Joe Crede and infielder Juan Uribe were two of 65 players who filed for free agency Thursday.
