BP had a chat session with Will Carroll today...
A lot of good stuff, but this in particular of note to Rangers fans:
Pudge (Detroit): I'm signed for $11 MM next year, $11 MM in '07, and I've got a $13 MM club option for '08 with a $3 MM buyout. I'm going nowhere, and helping no one.
Will Carroll: I'm guessing that Rodriguez has about as much money as he'll ever need. I'm as greedy as the next bastard, but at some point, it really isn't about money. Wouldn't he look good back in Texas, sharing time with Gerald Laird?
Pudge back in Texas? Interesting thought...although I'd be averse to it, myself...
