A left-handed starter, the first the Rangers have faced in 12 games, has caused manager Ron Washington to alter the Rangers' lineup. With Ian Kinsler unavailable to bat first and Elvis Andrus sliding up a spot to fill that vacancy, Mitch......

Well, I was told yesterday that the Mariners would not be removing a player from the MLB roster in order to free up a spot for Jesus Sucre to join the team. Nothing has officially changed in that regard, but there have been high-level discussions......

It was inevitable, and now it’s happening: As reported by Ryan Divish of the Tacoma News-Tribune, Jesus Montero is headed to Tacoma, and Jesus Sucre is coming up. It was a move the Mariners had to make, as I wrote about two nights ago.......
