He's going to get $5 million in arb and even if he breaks through as many think he might in 2014, his upside is not much more than what they've gotten from Fister, if anything at all.

I meant signing both Scherzer and Santana...but based on those tweets I guess they sound happy with their pitching depth and prospects.

I've looked around long enough at neutral baseball message boards to conclude that the entire baseball world is now chortling at the Tiggers. We're not just being optimistic homers here, nobody likes this trade for them.

Santana is a massive downgrade on Fister and he'll cost a ton more. Them signing him would make this trade even more senseless.

Shows how little true value Jim Johnson had. I think this is a clear case of Billy Beane trying to bring in a guy he knows will depart as a free agent and give him a draft pick (though I'm not so sure anyone will really be willing to give up a 1st round pick for Jim Johnson).

That sucks...Texas needs a closer now and they already traded Kinsler.

Some credible reporters are saying that the A's and Rangers are close to completing a "significant trade", which would be pretty odd. You don't usually see big trades between division rivals.
