Rangers Flip Kevin Millwood Into 3 Players

Tom Hicks, the owner of the Texas Rangers, is having money trouble. That has caused the Rangers to get inventive when it comes to filling out the roster. GM Jon Daniels did just that — flipping Kevin Millwood into three players.

First Daniels traded Millwood to the Baltimore Orioles for Chris Ray. After saving money on that deal, the Rangers turned around and signed Rich Harden and traded for Mike Lowell of the Boston Red Sox.

It made a real impression on me, because it seemed so far fetched, yet was true and here’s how it happened.

Kevin Love’s Girlfriend is a UCLA Cheerleader?

Kevin Love, apparently, has been going out with this UCLA “spirit squad” member (that means cheerleader, right?) for over a year now.
