Ken Rosenthal has a piece up, looking at the teams that would be interested in dealing for Manny Ramirez, should the BoSox decide to deal him. One of the teams he lists is the Rangers:
Rangers: Three years ago, the Rangers tried to acquire Ramirez and left-hander Jon Lester for shortstop Alex Rodriguez. Pitching remains their biggest need, but the team will be desperate for offense if Lee, Matthews and catcher Rod Barajas join infielder Mark DeRosa as departed free agents.
You know, I was just thinking how desperate the team would be for offense if Popup leaves...
