Here are today's news and rumors from around the very active American League West Division, home of the two time reigning AL champion Texas Rangers.

• Mike DiGiovanna from the LA Times reports that the Anaheim Angels have opened up contract talks with infielders Howie Kendrick and Erick Aybar.
• Geoff Baker from the Seattle Times says that recently signed Mariner Hisashi Iwaakuma's incentives kick in after about 20 starts, where he will be paid a $200K bonus at that point. He has other incentives for 30 starts and for 140 innings pitched.
