First day of the Winter Meetings, we know what the Astros did, or didn't do. What happened to other NL Central teams yesterday?
Brewers
According to the NY Post's Joel Sherman, the Brewers are on the verge of signing Randy Wolf to a three-year deal. This would be bad.
Reliever Mark DeFelice needs shoulder surgery, creating a bigger need in the bullpen.
Cardinals
Buster Olney reports that Brad Penny has signed a one-year, $7.5m deal (with incentives up to $9m total) with St. Louis. Given Dave Duncan's track record with Pitchers Who Were Good But Now Kind of Suck, it's a good move.
Cubs
Jon Heyman says the Cubs could be suitors for Marlon Byrd.
Pirates
The Pirates are listening on Matt Capps (closer candidate?), Ryan Doumit, Zach Duke, Roberto Clemente, Willie Stargell, and Bill Mazeroski.
Reds
They're trying to re-sign Laynce Nix.

Reactions to G7 - Houston at Pittsburgh
7-0 loss to Pittsburgh, in which Zach Duke looked like Rube Waddell.
McTaggart:
The Astros were probably asking each other the same question that has the majority of their fans in an uproar in only the second week of the regular season: Can their offense really be this bad?
Cooper:
“Same song,” Astros manager Cecil Cooper said. “We just can’t seem to get any hits, can’t seem to generate anything. I don’t really have an answer right now.”
Berkman:
“We’ve struggled before. We have had stretches where we haven’t hit well, and during the course of the season that’s going to be the case. We haven’t hit well, and that’s all there is to it.
Moehler:
“I just didn’t feel that great. Bottom line. We’re not playing too well right now.”
But if the Astros can bring a little pleasure to Pittsburgh, I'm all for it:
Ryan Doumit:
"This is fun right now. We're playing to the level that I know this team is capable. You couldn't ask for a better game, a better atmosphere. We heard the fans the whole game."
