Soriano

As I understand the August waiver process, any player on the 40-man roster must be passed through waivers in order to be traded.

If this is so, what do the Twins have that the Rangers want?

Mays and Lohse? More likely, Scott Baker, a player I'd fall down dead if he cleared waivers.

Denard Span is a AA CF who could help Texas.

Without knowing who cleared waivers on the Twins 25-man roster, I cannot intellignetly guess. However, that won't stop me.

Lew Ford seems superfluous for the Twins. Not to mention his production is down from 2004. But would Texas want another Dave Dellucci- or Gary Matthews-type?

Or more snarkily put, will the 2007 Rangers manager want a roster full of Buck Showalter scrappy types.

Seems Texas has no intentions of dealing Soriano. There just doesn't seem to be fair value available.

If they do, then they made a Chan Ho Park-esque mistake by not dealing him pre-August 1st.
