Bluelineswinger's Take on the E-Jax Signing

Nats dodge a bullet. Had they outbid the kitties on this reported deal it would have been a lot of wasted money at the end of the deal.

Texas Rangers' GM Jon Daniels On Prince Fielder On 103.3 KESN-FM

Transcription via Dallas Morning News' writer Jon Machota:

Jon Daniels: "It’s no secret that we like [Prince Fielder]. I’m not sure there’s a club that doesn’t. Some clubs have maybe more of a need than others. We met with him and we’re impressed with him. It comes down to dollars and cents budget, long-term kind of decision. We feel we made one big investment [on Wednesday] that we feel good about, that lines up with our power young pitching that we got. We still have a big lineup that could take the field today and I feel really good about it. We’re going to take a step back and look at it, but based on kind of where we are, I think that’s unlikely. That’s not a criticism of Prince, we’d love to have him, but sometimes you can’t have everything."
