With the Brad Hand trade to Tribe. It takes a potential trade partner for glut of TX relievers off board. Funny Pads got another catcher with Hedges over there. Really think we need to move the obvious plus maybe some minor league depth at positions for MILB SP. Would not be surprised if a surprise guy is moved like Guz or DDJ or Profar. You have to give to get.

Phillies and Atlanta have depth. Guess things are starting to move.

Evan mentioned that this time we don't have a Mark Teixeira to trade. We should have shopped Beltre at the 2014 deadline. We could have had a big return for him at that point. Hopefully, it is a lesson learned.
Can't agree with that. Hindsight is 20/20.

It is 20/20 for those who waited until after the fact to disagree with not trading him. That is very true.

If it was wanted back in 2014 during July then it wouldn't be hindsight at all.

Maybe we could pair a veteran that someone wants with a minor league pitcher and get a much better pitching prospecr back in return.

I hope we are in position to eat some more money to sweeten the pot.

Well if we aren't, we're doomed. There's no excuse what-so-ever for us not to do so, unless ownership is just going for cheap.

108 deg on my covered patio. Last year to play in this killer heat. That is another kind of winner.:clap:

We still have next season actually, but that abortion of a ballpark has definitely held us back in some personnel moves without a doubt.

Actually, that 'abortion of a ballpark' is better than the brand new one in Atlanta. FWTW

The weather makes the ball park lose a ton of points. It is aesthetically pleasing like a wall that will be erected on the border someday but, I suspect the ballpark is the reason we couldn’t resign Cliff Lee and yu Darvish was glad to leave.

Ace pitchers don’t like this ball park, point blank.

Then the Ballpark saved us from wasting a ton of money.

Just saw a report that the Cubs have agreed to a deal to acquire Jesse Chavez. The Rangers are suppose to get a minor league pitcher in return. Didn't say who it was.

Tyler Thomas is the pitcher that the Rangers are getting.

2 trades.....

How many more do you think?

I’m guessing at least 2 deals. Hopefully Choo / hamels/ Diekman are gone.
