Rangers, Twins Discussing Jared Burton

By Ben Nicholson-Smith | July 31, 2012 at 1:08pm CDT

The Rangers and Twins are discussing a possible trade involving right-handed reliever Jared Burton, Yahoo's Tim Brown reports (on Twitter). The Rangers are known to be considering additions to their bullpen. 

Burton, 31, has a 2.40 ERA with 7.8 K/9 and 2.2 BB/9 in 41 1/3 innings for the Twins this year. He's earning a salary of $750K and will go to arbitration this coming offseason before hitting free agency after 2013.

      They want to put Ogando in the rotation, so yes they do need a reliever

        SP should come first, they should leave Ogando where he is and go after a SP, i think..

    Ridiculous. Unless it’s for one of Texas’s current starters or top 5 prospects, this should not happen. Twins have very few blue chips and the cheap ones they do have like Burton here need to stay in house.

      Blue chips? Burton’s a 31-year-old with a massive platoon split that’s coming off major surgery. You don’t build around a guy like that, and the Rangers definitely aren’t taking someone from their rotation and trading them for him.

      If they can even get a “B” prospect for him, Terry Ryan makes that deal.

      you dont make a move just to make a move. That is when you start failing as a franchise.

    How can every other team like the Yankee’s & Angels get top notch SP and we can’t… JD needs to step up his GM game..
