The Rangers announced today that the team won't pursue Matt Garza this off season. After trading a boatload of talent for the right-hander, the team will simply let him walk for a different arm or an internal option.
It's possible they will look to sign a veteran to a short-term deal or make a trade for a starter, but who that could be is still unknown.
The Cubs expressed a desire to sign Matt Garza to an extension in 2012 but came into 2013 bent on trading him. It was a combination of what his price tag may be and the return the Cubs could get for him, which was important considering what they gave up for him.
The Cubs, as we know, are going to be involved in the Masahiro Tanaka posting process. They will have stiff competition from the Yankees, Dodgers, and others, but their interest is real and we can't rule them out.
If they don't land him are they still in the market for a top of the line starter?
That remains to be seen. They haven't been linked to anyone yet but it would make sense unless they change course and lock up a veteran and use the money to re-sign Jeff Samardzija.
I must thank you for the efforts you have put in penning this blog. This is truly a great read for me. Can't wait to see what else you have. keep posting:)
