"According to an Associated Press report, right-hander Rich Harden has agreed to a one-year deal with the Rangers that guarantees him $7.5 million. Harden, in whom the Red Sox were supposedly interested, went 9-9 with a 4.09 ERA with the Cubs last season and has battled injuries throughout his career. The Rangers cleared room for Harden by trading Kevin Millwood to the Orioles on Wednesday (WEEI)."
The Sox were looking at this guy, but the Rangers jumped on him quickly. I love this move by the Rangers. It is only a 1 year deal, so if he falls apart again it will only hurt them in the short term. The Rangers have a ton of young talent coming up (Smoak, Holland, Feliz, ect), so this is a good move to get a veteran in there. I will be somewhat bold and say the Rangers are a playoff team next year. I love the moves they are making, and seem to have that nice mix of prospects and veterans that every team strives for.
