This would have represented a blockbuster acquisition back in 2013.
Now?
Now it's just another attempt by the Rangers to land undervalued starting pitching. And it might also put an end to any real chance of a reunion with Yu Darvish. On Friday in a San Francisco Giants salary dump, the Rangers acquired left-hander Matt Moore who once dominated them in a postseason game and appeared to be one of the game's rising pitching stars, for a pair of minor leaguers.
The Rangers will also receive an additional $750,000 worth of international signing bonus slot money.
