The Milwaukee Brewers finally gave J.J. Hardy the change of scenery he had been expecting and reunited the unhappy shortstop with an old friend in the process.

The Brewers traded Hardy to the Minnesota Twins on Friday for speedy outfielder Carlos Gomez.

The 27-year-old Hardy batted a career-low .229 with 11 home runs and 47 RBIs in 115 games for the Brewers in 2009. He was demoted to Triple-A in August.

Phillies pick up Lee's $9 million option: The Philadelphia Phillies have picked up Cliff Lee's $9 million option for 2010.

The team announced the expected move on Friday, two days after losing the World Series to the New York Yankees. Lee's contract expires after next season, though general manager Ruben Amaro Jr. said the team is open to signing the star left-hander to a long-term deal.

Ramirez staying with Dodgers: Manny Ramirez decided to stay with the Los Angeles Dodgers.

Rather than become a free agent, Ramirez exercised his $20 million option, part of a deal the outfielder agreed to with the Dodgers last March that included a $25 million salary for 2009.

Among 16 Dodgers potentially eligible for free agency, Ramirez hit .290 with 19 homers and 63 RBIs this year, his season stained by a 50-game suspension for violating baseball's drug policy. By Associated Press
