"Rangers general manager Jon Daniels was a guest on MLB Network Radio on SiriusXM Monday, with hosts Jim Bowden and Casey Stern. They asked Daniels about the Michael Young situation, and here's what Daniels had to say:

Casey Stern: "When you look, Jon, at the Michael Young situation. I want to give you the floor because every day it seems there is another article. They've closed the door, they haven't closed the door on trade. Is there anything you'd like to get out there about how much better you, mutually, you, Michael and the club feel now about this situation and that he is a part of this team?"

Jon Daniels: "It's really not even a topic of conversation as far as we're concerned right now. I'm not fully aware of what's written out there because I don't read everything. We have no conversations going about trading any of our players right now, Michael included. And I don't see any coming up, so we are fully expecting him to be on the club. There is no active dialogue whatsoever, and it's more or less put to bed.""
