And the Michael Young saga continues...

Jeff Wilson writes that, in the last week, Michael Young has informed the Rangers that he doesn't want to be a DH and wants the Rangers to trade him, although Wilson says the Rangers aren't planning on doing that unless it improves the club.

Wilson says that, while Young publicly said he would be the team's DH earlier in the winter, he's changed his mind, with a source saying it is because he's afraid that being a DH the next several years will make it harder for him to sign a new deal after the 2013 season, when his current 5 year, $80 million deal expires.

The Denver Post has a piece that says the Rangers need to move Young, and Young should want out, and Colorado is the perfect spot for him.
