Last night, the Rangers acquired C Bengie Molina from the Giants for pitcher Chris Ray, cash, and a player to be named later, according to Scott Boeck of USA Today.

Molina, who is hitting just .257 with three HR this year, will earn roughly $2 million between now and the rest of the season.

In a series of posts to Twitter, ESPN.com’s Buster Olney explains how the Rangers could use a similar type trade with Seattle, in the event they try to acquire LHP Cliff Lee.
