Ken Rosenthal has found out the ten teams on Yu Darvish‘s no-trade list per his contract. They are the Orioles, Red Sox, Cubs, Indians, Rockies, White Sox, Tigers, A’s, Pirates and Blue Jays.

It’d not be at all surprising to see other contenders in on him too, at least as long as the Rangers keep listening to offers.

So when Herrera did not run out a dropped third strike in the sixth inning of Tuesday night's 5-0 loss to the Houston Astros at Citizens Bank Park (see Instant Replay), Mackanin yanked him from the game as part of a double switch, a remarkable move considering Herrera has been the club's best hitter, batting .331 (58 for 175) since June 1. "It had something to do with it," Mackanin admitted. "I'm going to talk to him tomorrow." Herrera knows well the way to Mackanin's office. He's been called in front of the principal Continue to Article
