So what's up today...
The Rangers got Chris Shelton, as I think folks are already aware of...
Evan Grant says that's probably the only move the Rangers will make before leaving Nashville...
He says they've talked to many folks about many folks, are getting medical records on Milton Bradley, and are still in on LaTroy Hawkins and Eric Gagne.
The Dodgers and Andruw Jones have agreed to a 2 year, $36.2 million deal, supposedly. To get Jones to come to Texas, given the teams' respective situations and Jones' supposed preference to stay in the N.L., you'd probably have had to have gone to 2 years, $40 million...I am not sure whether or not I'd have been willing to do that, if I'm Jon Daniels...
Jim Reeves talks about the guilelessness of Ron Washington.
Ron Washington says 85 wins is a realistic goal for the Rangers for next year. That seems optimistic, to me, but hey, goals are supposed to be optimistic...
