Nathan, 39, saved 43 games in 46 chances with a 1.39 ERA, 0.90 WHIP and 73 strikeouts in 64 2/3 innings pitched last season for the Rangers. He's a six-time All-Star and has been one of baseball's best closers since becoming one in 2004.

Of course they did. So them being close on a deal with the beard was slightly exaggerated a couple weeks back.

So they'll be better in the pen and better on defense(theoretically). I don't know about trusting Smyly and Porcello to make 60+ starts.

I guess the Halos' pen to start 2014 will then be:  Frieri, Smith, DDLR, Burnett, Salas, Jepsen, and Kohn?

I sure hope Morin is ready soon.

What is Jeremy Berg? Chopped liver?

knew this was coming….after yesterday's trade

So..moving Fielder and Fister allows them to do this and probably extend Scherzer.

 

This is why we shouldn't have looked at the Fister trade in a vacuum.
