Odds & Ends: Rangers, DeJesus, Westbrook, Happ

There's still plenty of news in the baseball world outside of today's surprising deal.  Let's dive in..

• Derek Czenczelewski and Gil Bransford of ESPN took a look back at the best and worst trades in Rangers history.
• Ben Davis will take one more shot at the big leagues, this time as a pitcher, writes Tyler Kepner of the New York Times.
• The Red Sox were serious about David DeJesus before his injury, a rival executive tells Jon Paul Morosi of FOX Sports.
• The Indians are drawing only mild interest in pitcher Jake Westbrook, tweets Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports.  Trade bonuses in his contract remain an obstacle, even though Cleveland would be willing to include cash in the deal, Rosenthal adds (via Twitter).
• Mets GM Omar Minaya declined to give his coaching staff a vote of confidence, writes Adam Rubin of ESPNNewYork.com.  Hitting coach Howard Johnson appears to be the most vulnerable of the bunch.
• Phillies pitcher J.A. Happ has looked good as scouts have had an eye on him leading up to the deadline, writes Jim Salisbury of CSNPhilly.com.  Happ would likely head to Houston in a deal for Roy Oswalt.
• Rangers GM Jon Daniels continues to say that the club will look internally for improvement, writes ESPN.com's Jeff Caplan.
