The article's in Spanish, but pretty easy to figure out. To make sure I was reading it right, I input the article into the Babelfish translation service, and it came up with this highly entertaining translation:

Joe Randa already returned the Pirates to play the waiting room. Insipid Sammy could be the next acquisition so that it is appropriated the right meadow. With Eric Byrnes in route towards Arizona, the Pirates have turned their tentacles towards signing to the Dominican jonronero, that is free agent and is a player desired by several equipment. The Buccaneers glided to sign to the ardent Byrnes and to place it in the right meadow, however this one already has a tentative pact with the Diamondbacks. After signing to Randa, the Pirates hope to fill their final goal of the period of receso, which will be to acquire a right gardener, who can bat with being able, because the plans are to place it of quarter or fifth bat and to place to Randa in the sixth turn. Insipid, a gardener free agent of 37 years and seven times member of the equipment All Stars with the Puppies, that remained the last campaign with the Orioles. The gardener has 588 home runs in his account. The last year as soon as it batted 14 with the Orioles. The executives of the Pirates have expressed who have the money available to contract it. Under the trusteeship of Jim Tracy, the Pirates look for to be a better equipment, because to add to Randa he means a defense to him of first level in the waiting room. The veteran third base will be united to Are Casey, that was acquired month the past and it provides a great offensive to him.
