Via Hardball Talk, the Rangers are ready to make a deal for Josh Hamilton:

I wonder how much of Hamilton’s contract the Angels will eat?
I am thinking it will be a bad contract swap. Perhaps Choo or Fielder as part of the deal plus the Angels eat about 10 million-15 million a year depending on which one it is (Fielder might require a prospect by the Angels ). Fielder could DH for the Angels and would be a huge upgrade there
Arte certainly isn’t coming out of this looking good.
