Troy E Renck of the Denver Post is reporting the Rockies are likely out of the Michael Young trade market.

This is interesting as the Rockies had been thought to be the front runner for Young the past few days.

The Rangers are said to want a proven player or top prospect in any deal for Young. It seems unlikely many teams would be willing to part with top talent for the right to pay the $48 million owed to the 34 year-old Young over the next 3 years.

The Young story has quickly risen to the #2 story behind the Albert Pujols contract negotiations.

This story will continue to grow as spring training approaches.
