Rangers News:
Joaquin Benoit signs a 3 year deal worth $8,310,000. It's a little more than we offered him before he went to FA but we're glad to have him in our bullpen.

In other news the big names, Holliday, Harden, Ludwick, Lackey and a few others are still on the FA list, we've had some contact with Ludwick as we have a weakness at RF. But we're limited in what we can offer due to Millwood and Padilla's combined contracts which equal $27,000,000 for the year, if we could get rid of them it would make things a little easier for us, but trying to get another team to take them will be impossible.

Retirement:
12/4 Kazuo Matsui(Houston Astros)- Hasn't recovered from his torn back muscle and has decided to call time on his career.

Rule 5 Draft:
The Colorado Rockies signed Josh Rupe
We signed Ian Ostlund from St.Louis Cardinals. Ostlund is a left handed pitcher and will fit right in. I also happen to think we've gained a better pitcher than the 1 we lost.

12/1 Baltimore Orioles-Seattle Mariners: Jayson Nix(2B) for Maikel Cleto(SP) and Ryan Feierabend(SP)
