BTW, on the traded Indians catcher/outfielder Francisco Mejia — the Indians wanted him to play more outfield, where they needed him at the moment, and he was not happy about it.
So there’s another incentive for them to deal him.
Unfortunately for the Rangers, there is little market for the players they want to deal, especially Hamels, who is nearing the end.
Daniels really screwed the pooch, and they just gave him an extension.
