Vicente Padilla has been designated for assignment by the Texas Rangers. General manager Jon Daniels announced the decision, essentially saying that Padilla finally crossed the line of being a good teammate. Dustin Nippert will take his spot in the rotation. "We're putting together a club and an organization that's pulling on the same end of the rope," Daniels said. "It wasn't a fit for us anymore. "When we have a disciplinary issue with a player, we talk to him," Daniels said. "It had gotten to the point where the club was better off without him."
