On March 12 the Red Sox announced that they had voided the contract of RHP Jason Bergmann among their first wave of Spring cuts. There was some speculation that this cut wouldn't take after a protest by the MLBPA. And the naysayers were right, this move probably wouldn't have held water (see RHP Francisco Rodriguez last season after his contract was voided by the Mets). It doesn't matter now, though. Bergmann has officially been released by Boston, meaning that he's as gone as he'll ever be, but the Red Sox have elected to pay him.
The Yankees have made their first cuts of the Spring. LHP Robert Fish was placed on waivers and RHP Daniel Turpen, a Rule V Draft Pick, was cut and returned to the Red Sox. Fish, a minor league veteran, was claimed on waivers by Kansas City. Turpen has been added to Pawtucket's roster.
