Pump the brakes on Texas Scal:

Rangers Close To Acquiring Matt Garza
By Steve Adams [July 19 at 7:01am CST]
The Cubs and Rangers are on the verge of completing a trade that would send Matt Garza to Texas in exchange for "a strong package of prospects," according to Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports. The two sides have discussed prospects at multiple levels, including third baseman Mike Olt and right-hander C.J. Edwards, as Rosenthal reported last night.

Unless they don't plan on extending him, this could take them out of the Gonzalez bidding...but I have to imagine if they're giving up a "strong package", they expect to be able to retain him...

It would be awesome if we can get some more Boston Ballwashers in here

Read last night he won't sign until next week...he's asked a few teams for last and best offers...

Red Sox, Yankees, Texas, Twins, O's, and a smattering of NL teams were believe to be in on it...

 

[DirtDirtDirt]

Mike Olt is still a big prospect?

Seems I've been hearing that since the Civil War

Are you ever right?

The market is taking shape for Cuban pitcher Miguel Alfredo Gonzalez and the right-hander could sign with a club as early as next week, an industry source tells MLB.com's Jesse Sanchez. There's also a trio of new teams in the mix for Gonzalez in the Phillies, Blue Jays, and Braves. They'll vie with the Cubs, Dodgers, Rangers, and Red Sox, who have all been showing serious interest in his services.

While teams are working the phones vigorously to land an impact pitcher before the July 31st deadline, Gonzalez could provide a boost to a contender without giving up anything other than money. Scouts believe Gonzalez needs only a few starts in the minors before making his MLB debut and his addition could move the needle as much as finding an arm via trade.

Gonzalez, who was cleared to sign with an MLB team earlier this week, could get as much as $60MM over five years.

Selig will drag his feet on the no teeth 100 game suspension until the off season.

A-Rod is expected to be back for his standing boo birds sometime next week.

Only the 2nd year he's been considered a top prospect....

His value has taken a bit of a hit this year...24 years old, and not faring well in AAA... .704 OPS...striking out like 30% of the time...considering his ranking? He should already be an impact MLB'er...

Still has the plus power tool. draws walks.. Biut he K's a lot...so he is only hitting .211 in AAA

2008 Boston fans - Fuck prospects. They are nothing but guys who havent failed yet. Free agency is where the game is won

Today - the farm is back
