ARLINGTON ? The Rangers have made an agreement in principle to trade two-time American League MVP Juan Gonzalez and will not use him in Tuesday?s game against Oakland, general manager John Hart said.
Hart did not disclose the team with which the agreement has been reached, citing that details have not been concluded. Gonzalez has a no-trade clause in his one-year, $13 million contract, and would have to approve any deal.
Hart said the deal has been four or five days in the making.
"With the trade of Ruben Sierra and potentially this one, our focus is going to be acquiring young players and turning the page," Hart said.
