I was right, the Rangers are going to trade 1 or 2 of their catchers, and possibly Hank Blalock for some pitching. I've heard some rumors that the Rangers went to the Red Sox with a Saltalamacchia for Bucholtz deal, but it seems that Boston rejected.
The Marlins are the only real team right now who is in real negotiations with the Rangers right now. I heard Scott Olson for Salty, and that seems okay...but I'd still rather have Bucholtz than Olson. The only problem is that the Marlins are either wanting Chris Davis or Taylor Teagarden, and both of those guys are the future of the Rangers...so there's no way that either of them are going unless the Rangers get a deal they can't refuse.
So far the Rangers have had 5 players file for Free Agency...Milton Bradley, Hank Blalock (unless the Rangers decline to keep him), Jason Jennings, Jamey Wright (THANK GOD), and Ramon Vazquez.
I just read on some sites that the White Sox were considering Javier Vazquez for Salty or Laird. I heard that AJ Burnett is has cut his possible teams down to the Rangers, Mets, Orioles, and Nationals. I just hope the Rangers can snag him. I think the Rangers should overpay for Burnett here. If the Rangers want any real chance of a Wild Card next year, or 2010, they need to get Burnett.
The Rangers are also looking at Brian Fuentes...they really fucking need a closer because every time CJ Wilson goes to the mound, I feel like crying.
