Mike Napoli was traded to the
Blue Jays. Then he was traded to the
Rangers.
I believe 12 minutes passed between deals.
When the music stops, grab a team.
The Blue Jays appeared to be out of the running for free-agent slugger
Vladimir Guerrero after sending
Vernon Wells to the Angels for Napoli and
Juan Rivera. Now they might have an opening after sending Napoli to the Rangers earlier today for reliever
Frank Francisco.
Rangers president Nolan Ryan
stated yesterday that he retained interest in Guerrero. Now it appears that's no longer true.
Are the
Angels still an option?
Is retirement?
Meanwhile, the
Orioles are prepared to give their DH at-bats to
Luke Scott and let
Felix Pie and
Nolan Reimold handle left field. They're also refusing to close the door on Guerrero. You know, just in case.
Napoli might want to keep his suitcase packed. You know, just in case.
