Cardinals and Dodgers are said to be the most interested, though both are waiting until he clears I thought he already did clear. No? Yeah, he cleared waivers. At this point, he'll either be traded or released. I guess the big source of concern is his 35k a day roster bonus for being on the active roster. The ESPN article said the Cards and Rangers are interested. All roster bonuses are voided if he is traded or released. Hmm. Ken Rosenthal seems to suggest that the bonuses are the main issue, unless he's released. I also saw an article, (from a Texas paper, IIRC) which seem to suggest the Rangers would need financial relief from the bonuses if Smoltz was indeed traded to the Texas. http:// http://msn.foxsports.com/mlb/story/9922760/Smoltz-refuses-move-to-minors;-two-options-left
