Ken Rosenthal of FOXSports.com heard from a source that the rumored Mike Lowell-for-Max Ramirez trade "could still blow up."
The Rangers have concerns about Lowell's hip and thumb issues, and rightly so. He exhibited real durability issues this past season and hasn't played over 120 games since 2007. Lowell will be manning a less demanding position in Texas (first base), but that doesn't mean he can stay healthy for the entire season. Stay tuned; this thing might not get sorted out quickly.
