Rangers Have Interest in Bartolo Colon

By charliewilmoth | December 10, 2013 at 5:38pm CDT

The Rangers have interest in starting pitcher Bartolo Colon, Jeff Wilson of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram writes. Colon would provide the Rangers with a backup plan in case Matt Harrison isn't ready to come back from injuries that limited him to two big-league starts in 2013. If Harrison is healthy, Colon would likely bump Alexi Ogando to the bullpen.

Colon will be 41 shortly after the start of the 2014 season, so he could very well be available to the Rangers on a one-year basis. Wilson notes that a one-year deal would be attractive for the Rangers, who might have Luke Jackson or other prospects knocking on the door by 2015. Colon posted a 2.65 ERA with 5.5 K/9 and 1.4 BB/9 in 190 1/3 innings with the Athletics last season.

    Bartolo Colon & A-Gon can hit the South Beach diet together if the Dodgers can sign him as David Price is not going to be in Los Angeles but up north to team up w/ Cano, King Felix Hernandez, and the Mariners.

    Bartolo can go for a walk everyday w/ Adrian Gonzalez at Venice Beach should he sign to be wearing the Dodgers uniforms. Kershaw or Billingsley, Greinke, Ryu, Beckett or Haren, and Colon would make sense for the starting rotation. Beckett or Kershaw should be traded w/ Kemp to the Texas Rangers for some players they may offer to be sent to Los Angeles.

    I disagree with you on pudge, but trading for brown and signing colon is a viable option, i wonder if the phillies would take Feliz straight up for Brown

    Are you kidding everytime the Rangers have tried to use Ogando has a starter he has gotten hurt halfway through the season. Ogando should be a closer or a setup man in my opinion

      One of the two injuries was to his groin while legging out an infield single.

        I think at this point Nellie would be considered a smaller piece as the commitment is much shorter. Michael Morse, Corey Hart would be another 2. Smaller piece is starting to get translated to less than $100 mil and less than 5 years.

    I see alot of making fun of Bartolo – overweight, old, etc Fact is he had a better record than any of the Rangers starters last year! By far except for Yu (who was close on era). Bartolo’s 2.65 won 18 lost 6 and .7 HR/9. He walks less than 1 batter per start! He has started no fewer than 24 games the last 3 years. He would be a great addition to the staff for those reasons and he could mentor the young guys. He could pay DIVIDENDS!!!

    Honestly I’d rather see Ogando in the bullpen he just doesn’t seem to stay healthy has a starter.

    If he actually gets posted I’m assuming they’d bid the 20 million and see what happens. If they got him then they could look at trading a pitcher and maybe find an extra bat that way.
