Didn't his defense worsen at 3rd?

Wonder how much of his contract they're willing to take on. He is under contract til '13 at $16 mil/yr.

Young, 34, has been mentioned in trade talk all winter, most notably with the Rockies. He was said to have "grown disillusioned about his diminished role" over the weekend, and we heard that Colorado would need Texas to eat about $20MM of the $48MM left on Young's salary to make a deal happen.

Not bad, basically about 6.7 mil/yr for Young.

Considering his teams to trade to list only has 8 teams, i'm sure we are not one of them.

FYI: Cards, Yanks, Twins, Astros, Rox, Dodgers, Padres, Angels

Dallas Morning-News says the amount the Rangers are willing to eat is approximately $0

RT @jaysonst: Asked Michael Young if he'd be willing to expand his list beyond 8 teams, said he'd consider it on "case-to-case basis."

Billy Ripken just proposed trading Vladdy to Texas for Michael Young.


You can't do that in baseball, right? (Not at least until June or something)

In several interviews, including one at his home and one at the studio, Dukes talked about how the police are out to get him, the difficulties of being a black athlete in Tampa and how he was “thrown under the bus” by Major League Baseball.

He says he was blackballed by baseball after he came forward last year with allegations that fellow ball players were smuggling drugs onto chartered aircraft, using drugs in hotel rooms after flights and how he would sometimes smoke marijuana before home games when he played for the Washington Nationals.

Elijah Dukes is the best
