Maholm Extended
The Pittsburgh Pirates agreed to a three-year contract extension with Paul Maholm. There's no word on the money yet, and the Pirates hold an option for a fourth year. This buys out Paul's three years of arbitration, always a good move for a club, and possibly his first year of free-agency. Paul does a good job of limiting walks and home runs, and is coming off the best season of his career.
