We may look for some protection there (at first base) now
The Rangers instead chose to spend their money on a pitcher who is younger and who they feel has a higher ceiling—Yu Darvish. This move is a high risk, high reward scenario. Texas has not been to consecutive World Series with foolish personnel...

He asked me if I could come over and help out ... I have an opportunity to work not only with him, but Jon Daniels and Nolan Ryan. That’s very attractive. The location works as well. Texas isn't too far from Vegas and spring training is in Arizona. It’s baseball. I love being in the clubhouse and around...

He may be a little slow coming into camp
Jon Daniels and Ron Washington called me a couple of days ago and told me about the team's decision for me to be a starting pitcher next season
Thad's a critical part of what we do and I'm glad he's not going anywhere just yet
We're excited to add Greg to our group and look forward to him contributing to the development of our young pitchers ... He is considered by many to be an all-around bright baseball mind and should fit in well with our existing staff.
We've been in touch with Josh — before and after the hiring — and will sit down to discuss the best way to move forward ... We're confident we will continue to support Josh and all of our players as needed. In anticipation of losing Johnny, we had some discussion about this, but will be in better positi...
It may be a deal where he comes back and says, 'I want to be in Texas,' and it makes sense and we're able to work something out, and it may not ... C.J. is looking for what the market will bring. He deserves to be well-compensated.
Everyone talks about the way we can score runs ... But the emphasis clearly is on pitching. If you look at our 40-man roster, 23 of the 38 players right now are pitchers.
Obviously, the organization had success in the mid- and late-'90s, but outside of that, all the history of the Rangers was on individual accomplishments, it wasn't really team accomplishments, and I think that was a driving force ... We kind of talked to the guys in the room at the time about how much t...
Not always do we get to announce one move that impacts the bullpen, the rotation and also the clubhouse, and strengthens all three ... What we talked about if we were going to move Neftali to the rotation, we wanted a big-time guy at the back end, and we feel really good that we’ve accomplished that.
Mitch is the guy ... The big thing is making sure his wrist is 100 percent. Assuming it is, it's his job. We're going to check out everything, but we're comfortable where we're at.
We're focused right now on the bullpen
Obviously, we have high expectations after going to the World Series the last couple of years
We're still focused on the bullpen
We're looking at this as two acquisitions ... We're getting a guy with big-time makeup, big-time pedigree and big-time stuff in Joe Nathan and also moving one of the best arms in professional baseball to the rotation. This is a move that we have thought about for last two years, but the timing had to be...

We kind of look at this as almost two acquisitions
It's a move we've been talking about and wanting to make, but the timing had to be right ... It had to be right for the team and also Neftali. We feel the timing is right now, and the availability of adding a guy like Joe made it that much easier to do.
We look at this as almost like two acquisitions
He was free and easy out there ... And he is an outstanding makeup guy.
