Michael Young - DH - Texas Rangers

While Michael Young hasn't officially decided whether to waive his no-trade clause in order to go to the Phillies, Jim Salisbury of CSNPhilly.com is "getting the vibe it will happen."
The two sides appear to have agreed on the deal and are just waiting for Young's approval. The 36-year-old Young has spent all of his career with the Rangers, but they've reportedly told him that his playing time will be cut in 2013, so he might not mind becoming the Phillies' starting third baseman. The veteran infielder batted just .277/.312/.370 with eight homers this past season.
