"That's probably the type of situation that poses the greatest challenge," Byrnes said about Mulder and the incentives policy. "But I think we can figure out a solution. It is what it is. We'll figure out a way to address it that fits both sides."
On the trade front, Byrnes acknowledged that the D-backs have discussed a trade with the Rangers. Byrnes did not get into specifics, but the Rangers are known to be interested in right-handers Dustin Nippert and Micah Owings.
Nippert and Owings are among a group of seven young pitchers that, if Spring Training started right now, would be competing for the final two spots in the starting rotation.
Diamondbacks will make the offer to him and it seems Mark Mulder really wants to settle in Arizona, his off-season home and likely to be his full year around home, before he gets married next month.
Also, the deal with the Angels fell apart, but it's likely they might trade Dustin Nippert to the Rangers for a hitter, and trade either Eric Byrnes and Chad Tracy for a starter.
