<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) -- Reliever Eric Gagne and the Texas Rangers reached a preliminary agreement Tuesday on a one-year contract worth about $6 million.The agreement was confirmed by a person familiar with the negotiations who spoke on condition of anonymity because no announcement had been made. The deal would allow Gagne to earn about $5 million more in performance bonuses.While Gagne's deal was still pending, the Rangers finalized and announced a $6 million, one-year contract for center fielder Kenny Lofton, a six-time All-Star. Texas also met with free-agent pitcher Mark Mulder.</div>
Does anyone else think Gagne will never return to his dominating self again?? I don't think he will be shut down effective again, but I still he can be good.
I think his 3 year span of abuseing Roids caught up with him. :whistling: If he can stay healthy, he could be productive. But based on the past 2 years that's a huge "If"
All the experts had him going to Boston, but then a few days ago Boston stopped talking to him because his price got too high.Guess there is always someone willing to pay for former greatness.
