@Ken_Rosenthal: Source: Garza to #Rangers indeed hit snag, as first reported by @jeffpassan. Talks not dead, but #Cubs have opening to send Garza elsewhere.

I do hate this

Texas offer getting shopped?

Texas offer getting shopped?

Supposedly the issue was when they exchanged medical records.

 

[elziegreat42]

there's not much of a viable plan b...... and please dont say bud norris!

All I can think is Lee, and I can't believe he's coming here.

Passan also notes that Cubs reliever James Russell came up in the Cubs-Rangers negotiations. It is not known whether he was a part of the deal that the teams were apparently close to consummating, or whether he could still be in play for Texas.

Issue was indeed over the medical records. Rarely ever happens, but its always something with the cubs. Trades were a done deal twice last year but fell through.

agreed. although, it would be smart for the phils to start replacing some aging vets on the decline with young talent

or getting slow played, hoping for a panic increase. JD won't fall for it I don't think, in fact I bet he takes the package he is already resolved to ship and makes calls to other teams to gauge interest.

James Russell is having a nice year in the bullpen for the cubs

 

[terpsfball09]

I'm also hearing the trade is still likely. Trying to substitute player that didn't clear medically with someone else. Still though, pretty bad news because the offer is more than likely to get more costly considering this happened on the rangers side.

BTW... why has Tag been doing play by play recently?

Wonder if the issue was with one of our guys or one of theirs.

when did you hear this?

 

[Hambombs]

I would really like a James Russell, Matt garza package gives you another nice bullpen arm
