Rangers close to deal with Joakim Soria

[Tryptamine]

Fantastic signing by the Rangers. Soria was an absolutely elite closer prior to last year and sometimes I wonder if people don't notice just how good he was.

Pretty good value with this deal.

**** i wanted the yanks to go after him.

[LakersA's49ers]

soria was a stud not to long ago. hopefully he does NOT regain his stuff. Lol

[rockbottom2010]

this is a big move for the rangers...now they have to figure out their pitching, outfielding, and 1B

[TO Rapz]

Wanted the Jays to go after him too, but our pen is fine, guess the money could be spent elsewhere. I like for Texas.

Decent signing but the Rangers already have Feliz & Colby Lewis coming back from arm injuries.

Actually Feliz will likely miss most or all of the '13 season due to TJ surgery while Lewis might not be ready until after the All-Star break coming off elbow surgery.

I like it a lot.

While I think the phrase "Low risk-High reward" is thrown around way too liberally, this is a prime example of that.

Wish my Tigers were the ones who grabbed him.

rangers bull; pen will be nasty if he bounces back form surgury
