Michael Young’s time with the Rangers appears to be over. Industry sources are indicating that the trade could go down today with Young accepting a move to the Phillies. Young is the Rangers all-time leader in multiple categories but he is headed for Philadelphia.

As a 21 year old, it's sad to see him go. But it's definitely time

It's confirmed now with Michael Young headed to Philly for Josh Lindblom and prospect Lisalverto Bonilla.

See you later, Michael Young. Stuck with the Rangers through their dark times and almost was rewarded with a World Series. Always will be a Ranger in my book.

“I don’t think he’ll be with the Yankees beyond next season,” one of the sources told the Daily News. “He’s not giving them a hometown discount, and they seem to be more interested in keeping their payroll down than winning.”
Cano is represented by Scott Boras, so anybody who is surprised by this report just isn’t paying attention. This may be Cano’s only chance at free agency, so why would he be expected to take a hometown discount, anyway? What is interesting is that one source suggested that Cano will likely be aiming for a contract similar to Alex Rodriguez‘s 10-year deal with the Yankees. And we all know how well that has worked out so far. The speculation is that the experience with A-Rod could potentially scare the Yankees away, but the truth of the matter is that a 31-year-old second baseman asking for 10 years should give most teams pause.

The Los Angeles Dodgers were closing in Saturday on signing the top free-agent pitcher on the market, Zack Greinke, a source told ESPN.
No further details about the deal were known. But Greinke has been looking for a contract of at least six years, in the range of $24-million plus per year.
Greinke
The Dodgers had been widely viewed as the favorite to sign the 29-year-old, one-time Cy Young Award winner until recent days, when the Texas Rangers emerged as an equally strong suitor.
In fact, as recently as Thursday, on the final day of the winter meetings, Dodgers general manager Ned Colletti appeared greatly discouraged by the course his team's negotiations with Greinke and agent Casey Close had taken.

The deal will cover the next six years and carry a total value of $145 million if it indeed goes through.

@jaysonst: Greinke's deal would pay him slightly more than the $144M Cole Hamels got from the Phillies, making him highest-paid RHP ever.

@jaysonst: Pretty much any way Greinke's contract is structured, #Dodgers payroll will top $200 million next year - a first for any NL team.

Yankees payroll is only 168 million for next year right now

UPDATE, 8:26 PM: The Rangers “have been told” that Greinke is not signing with them, according to MLB.com’s T.R. Sullivan. Which means that an announcement from the Dodgers is probably imminent.

The Dodgers can have fun with that contract and payroll. The Rangers have enough prospects to trade for a pitcher of equal or greater value. Think Hamilton to Texas might be a done deal now, but you never know.
