Ortiz Adds Sox With Texas

Baseball Betting Lines

Arlington, TX (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Texas Rangers and catcher/first baseman Mike Napoli agreed to terms on a one-year contract on Sunday. Per club policy, no terms of the deal were disclosed. The 30-year-old set career highs last year in batting average (.320), home runs (30) and RBI (75) over 113 games at catcher, first base and designated hitter.

 

He began his career in 2006 with the Angels and played five seasons there. In the 2011 offseason, he was traded to Toronto on January 21, then four days later he was sent Texas in another trade.

 

It's truly Linsanity.

 

It's an incredible story. A true rags-to-riches turnaround. But, unfortunately one that would never see the light of day in Major League Baseball.

 

At least not anymore.

 

Actually, those three are 10 times more likely to do it than Lin. That's how big a long shot this was.

 

YANKS, PIRATES DISCUSSING A.J. BURNETT DEAL

 

In some actual baseball news, the New York Yankees may have found themselves a sucker, er, a potential suitor, for right-hander A.J. Burnett. Apparently the Yanks are deep into talks with the Pittsburgh Pirates to send the underachieving pitcher to the Steel City for a ton of cash and a few minor leaguers.

 

In a bizarre twist, the Yanks want to deal Burnett and are willing to eat a good portion of the $33 million owed to him to free up a little more dough to go and add a couple of bats.

 

If this deal goes down here in the coming days, Burnett would have been paid $1.45 million for each of his 34 wins in the last three years with the Yanks.

 

Not bad work if you can get it.

Dallas Cowboys Super Bowl Odds

Will he or won't he?  Now that the Dallas Cowboys have a new head coach in Wade Phillips, the big question will be: Does Terrell Owens stay with the team.

Jerry Jones continues to suggest that Terrell Owens will remain with the team.

"I've said that he's back, he's here, he's under contract," Jones said. "In the interviews I've just been through (to hire a new coach), it was very clear to me how highly he's thought of and how much of an impact he had on our offensive success."

Just to be sure though, Terrell Owens cleared out his locker and removed his name plate.

Terrell Owens was among the Cowboys most productive players this past season, catching 85 passes for 1,180 yards and a league-best 13 touchdowns.

But T.O. is due a $3 million roster bonus in June, then a $5 million salary this season. Cutting him before then would save a lot of money and headaches.

Aside from the questions surrounding Terrell Owens, the oddsmakers at MySportsbook.com have concerns over starting quarterback Tony Romo's state of mind and whether he will remain a starting quarterback.  It is also not known how players will adjust to new head coach, Wade Phillips.
