Maybe they wanna see JJ start again to make sure his finger is good. We have till Tuesday... If he stays, cool. Maybe he'll be able to help Turner out next season and hopefully he picked up some stuff from Verlander too. If JJ does stay though we have a huge hole at 3B.

Realistically, which prospects do you see the Rangers ante up if JJ performs good as advertised tomorrow?

Perez, olt if not Perez then olt, buckel

Perez, Olt and some throw in.

Some saying that Marlins want more for Johnson than Brewers got for Greinke. One rival official: "I think Zack has a Cy Young at his house.

Well, Josh is signed thru 2013 while Grienke is not.

As of early Saturday afternoon, the Marlins are open-minded about dealing Josh Johnson. They'll weigh the offers and make their choices.

Tim Lincecum has two. Doesn't mean I'm trading more for him than 0 Cy Young Award winner Jered Weaver/Johnny Cueto/David Price right now.

To be completely honest, if we can get Olt and a lower pitching prospect like Ramon Mendez, Rob Ross or Justin Grimm, Id do it. Ideally, you'd like to get Perez with Olt, or even Buckle or Martin, but getting Olt would be huge for us. I have a feeling its gonna be Olt and a lower pitcher which isnt bad at all.

^^^^^ This.

I really have a hard time seeing the Rangers going into the playoffs with a rotation of Darvish/Harrison/Holland/Oswalt or Ogando.

I want to trade jj but only for a kings ransom. If we trade him for crap it's going to look and be horrible.

jj holds a lot of value for us right now, we would be stupid to trade him for peanuts, there's no incentive for us to do that unless we really are in a fire sale. marlins are in dangerous waters here, they better get good value or we could see this Marlins team lose it's already diminished fan base to an all-time low.

Anyone who leaves over these trades wasn't a real fan to begin with.

Angels and now Rangers backed away from Johnson because with his health history, $13.5 mill is not necessarily a bargain price.

Man, I'd never leave for a trade.

Unless it's Graham Taylor, that guy is my heart.
