Catching Up: Non-Roster Invitees, Sergio Romo, Wes Hodges

I’ve been rather busy of late, so I’ll catch up…

• The Giants announced 25 non-roster invitees for Spring Training; the list includes Gary Brown, Joe Panik, and Tommy Joseph, among others. As expected, Matt Yourkin and Andrew Kown are on the list.
• The Giants reached an agreement on a one-year $1.575M deal with Sergio Romo, meaning they avoid arbitration. This means Tim Lincecum is now the last remaining arbitration-eligible. In case you missed it, friend of the blog Wendy Thurm had an excellent post on his arbitration case.
• 1B Wes Hodges has re-signed on a minor-league deal with the Giants, according to BA’s minor-league free agent database.
