He still wouldn't be playing, just not officially retired

What part of that aren't you getting? It happens quite a bit

The part I am not getting is that I am not thinking like you on this one.

The Rangers are wanting to recoup the insurance money then.

 

[saddles]

My guess is that the Rangers give him some type of injury settlement as an incentive to retire and not injure himself any further.

No, they are DFAing him. They announced when his last day would be and are letting him go with some fanfare. He was going to keep on playing had they not decided to DFA him. The 2 circumstances are completely different to me.

Different means to the same end

Damn Des

No sense in arguing guys. Well know soon enough.

They may have agreed to pay the money they owe him in deferred payments over a longer period of time

Jeff, Ian needs a day or two.

LOL yeah the game started.

Des needs to get things figured out. Today would have been a good opportunity to sit him.

Someone made note the other day about how many times he's taken a called 3rd strike recently. And here's another example.

Why not give the guy a day off? Or two?

Ironically, Prince finishes with the exact number of home runs as his dad.

[romeo212000]

Told you guys Ian was gonna go ice cold at some point. Just hope he snaps out of it fairly soon.

 

[Bmurph]

That didnt freaking take long

 

[BULLPEN FAILURE]

Not the best start to today.

 

[romeo212000]

That didn't take long, AJ.

DDJ in CF is a reason why
