Evan Grant writes that Roy Oswalt's decision to hold off on signing helps the Rangers, who now have more time to trade Koji Uehara or one of their starting pitchers to make room for Oswalt. I still don't understand why the Rangers need to jump through so many hoops to bring Oswalt here right now.

Derek Holland says that, while all the attention right now is on Yu Darvish, people shouldn't forget about the rest of the team.
