Hamilton has been in Arizona rehabbing from surgery and is expected to spend time in Triple-A before making a return to the big leagues.
CBSSports.com reports the following on the story:
“However, there are a few minor issues left to be ironed out, according to Heyman. It will likely take another day or two to finalize the trade.
MLB.com was first to report this afternoon the Rangers were in talks with the Angels about a deal for Hamilton, who was a five-time All-Star for the Rangers from 2008-12.
The Angels have not been happy since the news broke in February that Hamilton suffered a drug relapse. Major League Baseball made the announcement in early April that Hamilton will not be suspended for the relapse since it did not violate his drug treatment program.
Hamilton has yet to play this season, as he is working his way back from shoulder surgery. Hamilton is rehabbing in Houston and could begin full baseball activities next week, sources told FOX Sports.”
For Josh Hamilton’s sake let’s hope he rebounds after the trade.
