Rosenthal: Gagne to Boston done, if Gagne approves -
07-31-2007, 03:04 PM
The Red Sox and Rangers have agreed to an Eric Gagne deal, pending Gagne waiving his no-trade clause, sources told FOXSports.com's Ken Rosenthal.
It's very possible that Gagne will block the deal, though the Red Sox could try to sway him by guaranteeing the remainder of his $3.625 million bonuses for games finished. Rosenthal doesn't say who will go the other way, though David Murphy and Kason Gabbard keep getting mentioned. Joaquin Benoit could close for Texas until Akinori Otsuka returns.

Still wondering how a 4th outfielder and no better than a #3 starter of the future is enough for a top flight closer. I'll go more in depth later.

I read Gagne said he isn't going anywhere as he wants to close and wouldn't be doing that in Boston.

He can't block a move to Milwaukee, though, and they're the other team in the mix, supposedly.
We'll see what happens here.

The word is that either Papelbon and Gagne would share the duties or even Papelbon would go to setup should this happen.

BBTN says David Murphy and Kason Gabbard to Rangers for Gagne. That has been agreed upon now and they just have to work the Boras obstacle.

ESPN is reporting that Engle Beltre, a 16 year old top talent hitting prospect is also going to Texas in the deal.
The Yankees balked on moving Melky Cabrera, which kept him from going to New York.

If that's the case, then that's fine. I don't want to trade a 22 year old CF of the future for a 2-month rental out of the bullpen. Complete nonsense if it's only M | |
