As soon as the media guide is out in March with all the info, we'll plug in the proper stuff. We could ask the Brewers now, but we'd prefer to cash them in for more important and time-sensitive items...

I was all set to close out the Off-Season Transaction thread, and start the Spring Training Transaction thread, but since this is not news of an official signing, I'll hesitate to kick off the new thread with the news.

 

From the Dallas Morning News' Evan Grant:

 

Former Rangers minor league pitcher of the year (high-A Florida State League, 2001) Ryan Dittfurth, released by the Rangers last year, was to work out for Milwaukee on Saturday.

 

Jamey Newberg's Ranger site:

 

Former Ranger blue-chip prospect Ryan Dittfurth, whose shoulder problems cut short his 2002 season and virtually wiped out his 2003 and 2004 seasons, is getting a look from Milwaukee.
