Washington Wants Young In Texas
Oct 16, 2014 4:54 PM
Michael Young has requested a trade, but Rangers manager Ron Washington hopes to have the veteran this season.
"Michael Young is Michael Young," Washington said. "He has a reputation and I respect that reputation. I know exactly what Michael Young brings. He can bring a lot to us in defending our American League championship. I certainly want him around here.
"I read he's looking for someplace where he can get on the field defensively full-time. If that's the case, whatever he feels is best for him. But I hope it's not because he thinks his at-bats are being taken away. He'll get his at-bats."
Young has three years and $48 million remaining on his contract.
