Royals sign Miguel Olivo

Did anyone see this coming? The Kansas City Royals have signed free agent catcher Miguel Olivo to a 1-year deal with a mutual option for 2009.

There was ZERO talk about the Royals even being interested in Olivo after being non-tendered by the Marlins. I'm curious if signing Olivo will force current backstop John Buck to step up and grab the starting job and run with it.

Jays, Tigers interested in Olivo

The Toronto Blue Jays have thrown their hat in the ring for the services for free agent catcher Miguel Olivo.

Olivo makes more more sense for Toronto because he'd definetely get more playing there than in Detroit.
