Texas has officially traded Joaquin Arias for Jeff Francouer, receiving cash in the deal from the Mets (reportedly so that Texas pays Francouer what it would have paid Arias the rest of the way), and have designated outfielder Brandon Boggs for assignment to make room on the 40-man roster for Francouer. The Rangers have 10 days to trade Boggs, release him, or outright him to the minor leagues.
Any other rumblings this final-deadline-for-playoff-eligibility evening? Any interest in Boggs?
