Napoli a late scratch. Did he clear waivers? or is this just what it is a last minute scratch?

Sad day. Thank you Mike Napoli.

This is shocking. I thought he wasn't moved because no one wanted him.

Rangers, eh? FG had them at 17.1% playoff odds, but presumably Napoli won't cost them much. Anyway, thanks for 2013! It was a nice run.
And now, let the Travis Shaw era begin.

Kinda strange. I can't imagine the Rangers need him that much, except to face lefties since they have Moreland and Fielder. I bet we got almost nothing but salary relief.

He'll be a big upgrade to Adam Rosales as Moreland's platoon partner.
Great move for all involved, provided they now try Hanley at 1B, allowing Castillo and JBJ extra PT. Otherwise, pointless.

And now let's start the search for next year's 1B. I suggest Mike Napoli.

If Texas paid any of the salary, It's a good trade. He wasn't coming back for 2016.

My best guess is that this is to see if Shaw can handle this role in a regular position or fade away. I take everything with a grain of salt that BC says, but he did just come out with his comments about leaving everyone where they are for the rest or the season {ie Sandavol, Hram}. I am in the camp of moving Hanley to 1B but I don't think that will come until the off season.

Shaw will get a bunch of work now which is good... but will Farrel at least put Hanley over there for a couple every week is the big question?
Thanks Mike for a great '13 season!

Red Sox make it official: Mike Napoli and cash considerations to Rangers in exchange for a player to be named later or cash considerations
And is it really so difficult for NESN to mention these things? They haven't even said he was traded yet.

I'll bet there is no PTBNL.
Tigers broadcast just mentioned the trade BTW.

And the second question...who gets added to the 25-man roster?

He said he wanted to stay to mentor the kids coming up. There's not much of a point to give him away for nothing and pay most of his salary. They could still play Shaw whenever they want.

Save a million in cash, open up playing time for Shaw.

Sure there is. If he's on the roster he has to play some. If they pay anything it's a plus. You think more of him than most of baseball. He cleared waivers.

Ok, so it's to save the team from Farrell. They could also tell Farrell who to play or fire him.

It's tough to just bench veteran players like that (likely costing them on their next contract) and not breed resentment, especially in a season where they have nothing to play for.
