Marlins Look To Move Beckett To Texas?
With the prospects for getting their own roofed stadium receding, the Marlins now need to clear payroll room, and seek to unload Josh Beckett. Texas and Boston are the two most likely landing spots, though Texas is balking at having to give up top pitching prospects Thomas Diamond or John Danks. "From the Red Sox, the Marlins want shortstop Hanley Ramirez and a young pitcher, either Jon Lester or Anibel Sanchez." The M's also want their trade partner to take on the two years and $18M remaining on Mike Lowell's contract.
Update: Lone Star Ball forwards a Palm Beach Post story indicating that the two teams are bypassing their respective GMs. Adam Morris asks "what happened to Hicks' adamant insistence that Jon Daniels was his general manager?" Indeed, and considering that Hicks was really the one who got the Rangers into trouble with the A-Rod deal, it's a shock, and not a good one, for Texas fans.
