Rangers and Byrd Agree on Extension

Marlon Byrd and the Rangers have agreed upon a one-year deal worth 3.08 million, according to T.R. Sullivan.

I'm glad. Marlon Byrd has been a great pickup for the Rangers: someone picked up off the scrap heap with a dwindling career who has reinvented himself with the Rangers. The Rangers have a knack for guys like this--recently with Gary Matthews Jr. and Mark DeRosa. Both Matthews and DeRosa were signed to lucrative contracts with other teams when free agency came their way. If Byrd keeps performing at his 2007 and 2008 levels, he'll be the next in line.
