The Rangers are still planning to meet with Roy Oswalt on Monday. The Cardinals are closing in on an agreement with Roy Oswalt but are attempting to trade someone like Kyle McClellan to open up a bit more money for the veteran right-hander. If they can't lock Oswalt into a deal Sunday, it's very likely that the Rangers will be able to make an appealing pitch of their own. Oswalt recently turned down a one-year, $10 million contract from the Tigers. The 34-year-old was limited to 23 starts last season due to a back condition, but he still posted a quality 3.69 ERA and 93/33 K/BB ratio across 139 innings.
