Ramirez has already given up 2 runs without retiring a batter yet.

Hopefully they're not stupid enough to make this guy the centerpiece of a deal.

We'll see soon enough. As I've maintained all along, I prefer they re-sign him but given that won't happen now seemingly, they better get seem legit prospects back.

This mystery 3rd team probably means TX is holding out and only offering fringe guys so we shall see who blinks first or if another team steps up and offers value.

It certainly ain't lookin' to good now.

@TBrownYahoo: In Garza negotiations, Cubs and Rangers have exchanged medical reports. Final stage.

Olt and Sardinas are both in the lineups though there games have not technically started. I wonder if Olt will be on the I-Cubs bench if he is traded before the game.

Just hand him a Jackson jersey if ones lying around. Who'll know the difference once the game is over and he has 4Ks?

Yea, really.

@JeffPassan: Sources: Cubs-Rangers deal for Garza hits snag, no longer a certainty. While teams still negotiating, Chicago seeking alternatives to Texas.

Of course it does.....and we will learn in about an hour that it was the cubs who pulled the plug on the deal.

Fucking HoyStein.

Ramirez has been pulled from the game ................because he was terrible and got lit.

Russell name was mentioned in some rumors with this deal. Sounds like someone didn't like something they saw on the medical reports. I am going to guess that it might be Olt and theo is trying to keep the Jackson, Edwards deal with Sardinas instead of Olt.

Left fielder Nick Williams of the low A Texas affiliate in Hickory was pulled late in the game. He was a 2nd round pick last year. Great stats so far this year. 15 bombs 56 rbi .313 in 262 at bats.

Relatively imminent....

So much for that theory. Nick Williams got himself ejected for arguing something. Still a pretty good player. I would rather have him over Olt.

Garza deal fall through after exchange of meds

By John Arguello, today at 8:23 pm

The Matt Garza deal officially fell through and though Texas is still not out of it, there isn't a lot of hope they can get something together. The Cubs are exploring deals with other teams. Everyone is back in the game and one of which is the Washington Nationals, who we believe was the mystery team involved.

It's unclear which team backed out but a Yahoo report by Jeff Passan states that the Rangers continued to pursue a deal, so it may have been players from their side. Many Texas players rumored in the deal: Neftali Feliz, Mike Olt, and Neil Ramirez have had medical issues in the past, so it's very plausible that it's the Cubs who backed out.

The Nationals were said to be interested in a second player and Passan speculates it may have been LHP James Russell.

I am done seeing the name Neil Ramirez. He is not good. On to the Nationals.

Ditto Olt.

Honestly, I hope it's true. While I'd rather he's traded before the next start, nobody in the Texas farm system does much for me.

Go get those three Theo. They look sooooo much better than the guys on Texas I have been looking at.



Isn't Martinson the guy Dr. Ken knows??

So Texas thought trading their crippled and blind was going to get Garza? Until they make a real offer fuck them.

You're smoking something. Rizzo doesn't make impulsive, bad decisions.































On December 5, 2010, Werth signed a seven-year contract with the Washington Nationals worth $126 million, the 14th richest contract in baseball history.

No....he should tweet Bowden that his cousin is rumored to be part of a trade for Garza. Then we can read it on the bottom line or some baseball rumor sites until it is dismissed an hour later.
