Texas Rangers veteran Michael Young said he asked for a trade because he's been "misled and manipulated on different occasions." "I'm tired of it," Young said. The 34-year-old spoke out Monday night after general manager Jon Daniels and club president Nolan Ryan talked with the media and said they will try to accommodate Young's wish to play in the field every day for another team. Young said he expects a trade to take place but isn't sure when that might occur. "I think it's important to address what I think is kind of an inaccurate portrayal," Young said. "The suggestion from the team that I've had a change of heart and that's why I asked for a trade is a manipulation of the truth in my mind." Young said he didn't want to "get into any specific details." That wouldn't be "productive," he told ESPN.com's Jayson Stark. And he was determined to "keep my eyes on the high road." But when he was asked if he felt the Rangers hadn't been honest with him earlier this winter when they told him they weren't trying to trade him, he swirled that thought around in his head carefully, then said: "I believe [that] to be true." And the result, he said, was "a breach of trust" between himself and the club. Read more: http://sports.espn.go.com/dallas/mlb/news/story?id=6098059
The most realistic option is Toronto, we are damn weak at the 3 spot. Therefore, we can put Bautista in the OF or DH. ^My pipe dream
