Most baseball headlines on Monday revolved around Japanese pitcher Masahiro Tanaka. The right-hander is expected to make a decision either today or tomorrow, ahead of Friday’s deadline. However, several other important moves were made – even in the National League Central, where the Milwaukee Brewers signed first baseman Lyle Overbay to a Minor League deal with an invite to big league Spring Training.
