Lol. I can only assume Felix is a catcher.Mark Appel makes me wish that Felix Pie played for the Astros.

I would have been really stoked to get Olt in a deal this time last year but the shine has come off him a bit since then. I'll still be happy if that is what Garza fetches though. They don't have any 3B prospects with his kind of pedigree. Have to believe the vision problems he had earlier this season are the main reason for his terrible numbers in Round Rock so far. Git 'er done, Theo.While the Cubs' Matt Garza currently pitches in the National League, Bruce Levine of ESPNChicago.com says that he could soon return to the AL. Levine reports that the Rangers and Blue Jays are the "front runners" in acquiring Garza's services for the balance of 2013. Though the Rangers have frequently been mentioned as pursuers of Garza, who figures to be the top starter available, the Jays have generally not been placed atop the list. Nevertheless, Levine says that Toronto has been very active in scouting the righty over his last three starts. As for Texas, Levine says that power-hitting prospect Mike Olt would probably be included in a deal.
Why would he? He's not a Ranger.If there's ever a poll of who the best Texas Ranger of all time is, will Chris Davis get votes?
Chris Archer with a CG shutout today. I'm not positive, but I'm pretty sure he said "this one was for Ed Guapo" in his post game interview.
The Cardinals could be interesting. They have a shitload of pitching. Not sure what they'd be willing to give up for a rental Garza though. They have a few pitchers who I'd be happy to get in return.Garza Informed He'll Likely Be Traded

The Cubs have informed Matt Garza he will likely be traded after contract talks failed to produce an extenstion, reports Jon Heyman of CBSSports.com. The Rangers and Indians, according to Heyman, are clearly interested in Garza while the Red Sox are waiting upon some clarity on the return of injured starter Clay Buchholz. The Cardinals, meanwhile, are believed to be a stealth player for the fifth-ranked free agent on MLBTR's 2014 Free Agent Power Rankings. Yesterday, we learned the Blue Jays are "front runners" in the Garza trade derby, but Heyman writes there is little to no evidence, at the moment, they are actively involved.

I'd think that if you can get a prospect who projects to an every day piece in the near future, you do it.Kind of hate to do it because he is under team control for the next 3 years, but I'd look to deal Parnell. Dodgers and Red Sox have interest.
That is a pretty good list of prospects there. Consider it a major win if the Mets land any of those guys for a closer. Because of the 3 more years of team control you mentioned, at what I assume is a relatively low salary, it's probably not out of the question though. It would be a little surprising, but not flat out shocking.I don't think we'll get Jackie Bradley for him, but that was a name that came up with the Red Sox. The Tigers have two guys I would be interested in with Asivail Garcia and Nick Castellanos. I'll take Joc Pederson from the Dodgers.
I am certainly going for the higher end guys. We've had some luck getting players back. I mean we got Wheeler for Beltran in a walk year and then D'Arnaud, Syndergaard, Buck, and Becerra for Dickey and Thole. We've done well getting talent back.That is a pretty good list of prospects there. Consider it a major win if the Mets land any of those guys for a closer.

I don't know. They gave him a pretty sizable extension and his production isn't close to living up to it.I am kind of curious to see if the Rangers may think of dealing Andrus.
