From Sports Illustrated's Jon Heyman:

Here are two important reasons the Yankees may be Texas' best option:

1. They have several young pitching prospects who could interest Texas
   
2. Along with the Mets, they are about the only contending teams on Gagne's list of 12 to which he can be traded to without his approval...
   

Gagne's contract, which guarantees $6 million for this year, also provides for a potential $5 million in incentives based on games finished. It appears that since the Yankees, Mets and Red Sox would be interested in Gagne to set up their star closers, Gagne's financial situation could be affected unless accommodations were made to satisfy him.

That bit about the incentives in Gagne's contract makes me think that the Rangers will be all the more willing to move him before he gets too expensive.

Heyman mentions the untouchables: Hughes, Joba, IPK, and -inexplicably- Alan Horne.

Horne does not have the unhittable stuff of the other three.  He's put together a 1.25WHIP at AA Trenton with a little over a strikeout an inning.  He's a 24 years old righthander with a mid to low 90s fastball.

If you want to see what dominant looks like, check out the trinity's stats- this kid ain't got it.

If I were a betting man, which I'm not, I'd guess that Horne is the guy we'll see moved at the deadline.  Heyman mentions Ty Clippard and Jeff Marquez as movable parts, but River Ave Blues reported that Clippard left his Friday start early with a possible injury.  I checked, and Clippard has not been put on any sort of DL yet so he could still be traded.

I think we'll see Gagne in pinstripes.

On a side note, Heyman mentions that the Mariner's interest in Kei Igawa seems to have cooled.  They must have seen him pitch.

If they were thinking they could unload Richie Sexson on us, I'd rather have Igawa in Scranton than Sexson in the Bronx.
