Friday Morning Open Thread

According to one source or another:

● Seattle came calling for Justin Upton dangling a package composed of Taijuan Walker, Stephen Pryor, Charlie Furbush, and Nick Franklin, and reportedly got the Diamondbacks to accept the deal, but Upton refused to waive his limited no-trade rights which allow him to block a trade to the Mariners;

● Texas made its last, best offer for Upton on Thursday before the Seattle/Arizona drama unfolded, and is believed to be moving on from the Upton pursuit;

● The Rangers are believed to be keeping Ian Kinsler at second base next season after all (in large part because Kinsler decided he didn't want to move from second to first base at this point in his career), meaning that Jurickson Profar will, in all likelihood, open the 2013 season at Triple-A Round Rock.

Discuss.
