Why?

Such a move would make exactly zero sense.

Rosenthal sez...

Rangers need his .250-ish average to anchor the bottom of the batting order…plus he’s a fabulous handler of pitchers…again, this is what Rosenthal said, not me.

4.5 mil total

So ~2 mil remaining

Yep, at this point it's Molina or Lee.

I bet we’re even talking about trading the same prospects for each, too.

Chris Ray and a PTBNL

From Rotoworld:

Scott Boeck of USA Today reports that the Giants will get reliever Chris Ray and a player to be named later for catcher Bengie Molina.

The swap only needs approval from Major League Baseball commissioner Bud Selig, which should come before the night is through. Molina will immediately provide the Rangers with a solid, veteran presence at catcher and should show better power marks in the club’s cozy ballpark. Ray, 28, has a 3.41 ERA, a 1.26 WHIP and a 16/16 K/BB ratio in 35 appearances this season. He will pitch in middle relief in San Francisco. Jun. 30 – 10:14 pm et

I swear to God the PTBNL better not be someone I even remotely recognize.

I"m talking a 32 year old Low A ball guy.
