Stewart, Kotchman, Beimel sign.

The Rockies and Ian Stewart have agreed to terms avoiding arbitration. Stewart will earn $2.22875MM, according to Troy Renck of the Denver Post. If Stewart stays healthy and reaches his incentives next season he will earn $2.35MM. Stewart hit .256 with a .338 OBP in 441 plate appearances last season.

According to Marc Topkin of the St. Petersburg Times, the Rays have agreed to sign first baseman Casey Kotchman to a minor league deal with an invite to Spring Training. Kotchman hit .217 with a .280 OBP in 457 plate appearances last season with the Mariners.

The Pirates have announced that they have signed LHP Joe Beimel to a minor league contract. The deal includes an out clause that allows Beimel to become a free agent if he doesn't make the Opening Day roster. Beimel posted a 3.40 ERA and a 1.36 WHIP over 45 innings last season with the Rockies.
