<p>Ms release Bass so he can go to #Japan. I wonder if this is the opening shot in the moves to finish the BP. The interest in Antonio Bastardo that Shannon Drayer reported back at Winter Meetings time may still be there. </p>
<p>AB wants what Sipp got -3/$18M - but the Ms might prefer something like 2/$10 from what it sounds like. But no other team has stepped up with a 3rd year, so maybe JD has some maneuvering room. </p>
<p>Then sign another couple of vets (Beimel?, Aardsma?, ???) to minors/NRI deals and see where things sit. But Zych and Scribner, then Benoit and Bastardo, then Cishek sounds like a pretty nice 7-8-9 combo here. Then there's room for Nuno or #Montgomery for long work and Furbush if he's right. Could do worse.</p>
