Bobby Jenks, Kerry Wood and Josh Willingham changed uniforms, while Magglio Ordonez stayed in Detroit as several teams tried to wrap up business Thursday before taking a holiday break.

A December flurry of activity saw Minnesota reach a deal with Japanese batting champion Tsuyoshi Nishioka and the Los Angeles Dodgers get reliever Matt Guerrier.

Also in the works: Looking for a lefty in the bullpen, the New York Yankees are trying to close a deal for free agent Pedro Feliciano.

The Boston Red Sox stayed busy, reaching agreement with Jenks on a $12 million, two-year contract, a person familiar with the deal told The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because there was no official announcement.

The Red Sox agreed to a one-year contract with right-handed reliever Matt Albers, who made 62 appearances for Baltimore, and sent utilityman Eric Patterson to San Diego to complete the trade for first baseman Adrian Gonzalez.

Wood is going back to the Cubs on a one-year deal with a base guarantee of $1.5 million, a person familiar with the negotiations told the AP.

The Oakland Athletics acquired Willingham from the Washington Nationals for a pair of prospects, right-handed reliever Henry Rodriguez and outfielder Corey Brown.
