CONTRACT INFO: 2009: Free Agent
 Nomar Garciaparra-DH- AthleticsFeb. 4 - 6:21 pm et
Nomar Garciaparra told WEEI.com on Thursday that he is not ready to retire.
This contradicts a Wednesday report from the San Francisco Chronicle that stated Nomar is "widely expected" to call it quits. The 36-year-old free agent has drawn little interest on the open market this winter, but he informed WEEI's Lou Merloni that he "feels better now that has in quite some time." Garciaparra had a .281/.314/.388 batting line in 160 at-bats for the A's last year and will be lucky to find anything greater than a minor league contract.

 Nomar Garciaparra-DH - Athletics Feb. 3 - 6:09 pm et

Nomar Garciaparra is "widely expected" to retire, reports Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle.
If true, Garciaparra completed his major league career with a .281/.314/.388 line in 160 at-bats as a backup for the Athletics and made his long-awaited return to Fenway. The 36-year-old spent two years with the Cubs, three with the Dodgers and of course, nine years with the Red Sox where he was the face of the franchise and won the Rookie of the Year award in 1997. He would finish his career with a .313/.361/.521 line over 5,596 at-bats in a bright career derailed by injury.

 Chris Davis-1B - Rangers Sep. 3 - 4:40 pm et  

Chris Davis and Omar Vizquel will draw the bulk of starts at third base for the Rangers, reported Ken Rosenthal.
The FOXSports.com reporter also mentions Esteban German as a candidate to see time. The Rangers are also active on the trade front as they contend for a wild card spot. Possibilities include Nomar Garciaparra and Jamey Carroll. The guess here is that the Rangers will try to scrape by.

Nomar Garciaparra tweaked his quad while legging out an infield single Thursday in a game against the Red Sox.
Another notch on Nomar's injury belt. It's considered minor for now, but the A's will run a battery of tests and come up with a true diagnosis.

 Nomar Garciaparra-DH - Athletics Jun. 19 - 9:12 am et

Nomar Garciaparra is having calf trouble yet again and will only be available as a pinch hitter for the rest of the week.
According to the San Francisco Chronicle, "even DHing might be a push initially." Nomar was just activated from the disabled list six days ago, but this is the kind of news we've come to expect from Garciaparra. He's had just 54 at-bats this season and is hitting .259/.281/.389.
