Sources have confirmed that the Yankees have interest in signing Travis Hafner.

Hafner would serve as New York's left-handed designated hitter, filling the void left behind by Raul Ibanez.

He would likely be offered a one-year, incentive-laden major league deal, according to sources.

In the past five seasons, he has only played in more than 100 games once.

The Mets have agreed to a one-year, $2.9 million contract with David Murphy.

The agreement allowed the two sides to avoid arbitration.

Murphy, 27, hit .291 with six homers and 65 RBIs last year, when he made $512,196.

The Mets have added Scott Atchison to their bullpen mix with a minor league contract.

Atchison, 36, appeared in 42 games for the Red Sox last season, going 2-1 with a 1.58 ERA.

New York will have no shortage of arms competing for bullpen jobs this spring. Atchison figures to battle Greg Burke, Jeurys Familia, Jenrry Mejia and Elvin Ramirez, among others.

The Orioles would like to re-sign Joe Saunders, who they acquired at midseason in 2012, but the left-hander has other suitors.

Saunders has been linked to a number of teams. A few sources have indicated that he has a two-year offer on the table worth approximately $15 million from an unknown team.

He has initially looking for a four-year contract, but those demands have dropped to three years.

The Mariners have agreed to a one-year, $1.5 million deal with Kelly Shoppach, pending a physical.

The contract will pay Shoppach a base salary of $1.5 million with an opportunity to earn an additional $500,000 in incentives, according to a source.

The Mets are unlikely to sign him, but they have taken the time to meet with Michael Bourn.

Sandy Alderson and assistant general manager John Ricco flew to Houston last week to have dinner with Bourn and his agent, Scott Boras, according to the New York Post.

The meeting "was more a getting-to-know-you session than a dollars-and-cents negotiation," according to the paper, "at a time when the dollars and cents remain among the most significant hurdles in doing a deal."

The Brewers haven't ruled out signing Kyle Lohse, according to owner Mark Attanasio.

"There's always a chance. ... We'll just have to see if that fits in our overall scheme."

However, Milwaukee will be reluctant to lose the No. 17 overall pick and corresponding slot money in order to sign Lohse.

St. Louis issued Lohse a qualifying offer.

The Rockies will consider signing Dexter Fowler to a long-term contract.

Fowler is Colorado's only arbitration-eligible player who hasn't reached an agreement.

He is seeking $5.15 million and the team is offering $4.25 million.

The Padres have agreed to a minor league deal with Freddy Garcia, according to a source.

Garcia has a chance to compete for a spot in a rotation that includes Edinson Volquez, Clayton Richard, Jason Marquis, Eric Stults and Tyson Ross.

The Cardinals have agreed to a one-year, $1.15 million contract with Ronny Cedeno.

Cedeno gives St. Louis insurance in case shortstop Rafael Furcal has problems returning from an elbow injury that sidelined him late last season.

He can earn an additional $850,000 in performance bonuses under Monday's deal: $170,000 each for 200, 250, 300, 250 and 400 plate appearances.
