And now for something completely awesome

Coulda, woulda

When the Texas Rangers and Florida Marlins were hammering out the Jorge Cantu deal, the Rangers apparently slipped in another proposition.

They allegedly offered three of their top prospects for Josh Johnson.

The Marlins turned them down. But it was worth a shot and I'm sure the players and fans truly appreciate the effort.

Jon Daniels is probably going to win the Executive of the Year award. He basically created a playoff-caliber team by forcing other teams to pay for the likes of Cliff Lee to play for them.

I would assume the trade proposal started with either Tanner Scheppers or Martin Perez. Derek Holland might have been involved. Robbie Ross? Robert Erlin? Tommy Hunter? Neftali Feliz?

For Josh Johnson, the Marlins might have been able to take their pick.

The proposition led one Twitterer to call the Rangers "ballsy sons of bitches."

It feels good.
