January 19, 201610 yr http://sportsday.dallasnews.com/texas-rang...er-justin-upton ESPN senior writer Buster Olney wrote that, "If Justin Upton gets to the point when he seriously thinks about a one-year deal the Rangers may well be the best option." "Texas has an excellent lineup already, they inhabit a really good hitters' park, and Upton wouldn't go there expected to carry the offensive load himself," Olney observed. "He could slot in among Prince Fielder, Adrian Beltre, Shin-Soo Choo, Rougned Odor and others and do some major damage there, which would give him an excellent chance to play in the postseason before hitting the market again next fall."

God if that team gets some pitching out of Darvish that would be one helluva scary opponent. I kinda want to see them do it, set up a lineup that if they stay healthy compares to Torotno.

More "good" news for my White Sox. This is getting more depressing everyday.

January 19, 201610 yr Ugh, AL Central keeps getting tougher if they get him. Who knows maybe it's to push cespedes to make a decision

January 19, 201610 yr QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Jan 18, 2016 -> 09:24 PM) Classic Tigers. I can't remember, do they usually leak before they make moves?
January 19, 201610 yr QUOTE (Baron @ Jan 18, 2016 -> 08:24 PM) Oh good...great news Let's get this over tonight. Upton can sign with Detroit and Cespedes can sign with the Mets. Then we can ---- I don't know what we can do!

Makes alot of sense for Upton because he should put up some really good numbers in that park with that lineup and set himslef up for a wicked contract next year.

For some crazy reason I still have faith in the FO to get an outfield upgrade despite the Cespedes/Upton rumors. Just not sure what the heck that upgrade will be.
