Source: Michael Young dealt to Phils
Michael Young has accepted a trade to the Philadelphia Phillies, who will ship right-handed reliever Josh Lindblom and minor league righty Lisalverto Bonilla to the Rangers to complete the deal, according to a source.
The deal gives Young an opportunity to play more and gives the Rangers another bullpen candidate in Lindblom.
Young had to waive his no-trade clause to get the deal done.
A source said Thursday that the Rangers were going to have to pay at least half of Young's $16 million 2013 salary to complete the deal. Young will receive $1.2 million in "benefits" in exchange for waiving his no-trade clause, a source confirmed to ESPN.
