Marlins and Rangers go at it July 24-26

[saddles]

The Dodgers were interested in Rangers ace Yu Darvish even before Clayton Kershaw’s back injury, writes Jon Morosi of MLB.com. The timetable for Kershaw’s return, once determined, will further impact their level of interest in Darvish and other arms on the market. Morosi hears that among Dodgers’ top prospects, the team is most attached to right-hander Walker Buehler, who has already ascended to Triple-A and could conceivably help the club in 2017. Texas, meanwhile, would likely target two of the Dodgers’ top four prospects (Buehler, Yadier Alvarez, Alex Verdugo and Willie Calhoun), per Morosi, which is a steep but largely unsurprising ask with the Rangers seemingly on the fence about whether to move Darvish at all.

Pitching Rumors: Gray, Verlander, Darvish, Dodgers, Straily

Damn dodgers.... you gotta give up something to get something. Do you want to finally get over the hump or not?

Alvarez and Verdugo are the two highest ranked according to Baseball America of those 4 Dodgers prospects listed. They were ranked 26 and 58 respectively prior to this season. Alvarez has struggled this year, but he was fantastic last year. Calhoun seems to be more of a power hitter currently than Verdugo. Buehler is putting up an ERA of 3.49 with a WHIP of 1.12 in AA this year.

If we could get our pick of two of those 4 guys I would be pretty happy with that. Maybe JD could get even more.

I'm hoping there's some under the table agreement that he will resign because otherwise that makes no freaking sense. Unless the offers have been pitiful.

AJ Griffin with a very good outing for Frisco tonight.

The Rangers had 10 base-runners but were 0 for 7 with runners in scoring position. They are hitless for their last 20 at-bats with runners in scoring position.

For the season, the Rangers are hitting .241 with runners in scoring position. A year ago, when they had the best record in the American League, the Rangers hit .277 with runners in scoring position.

It has gotten worse since the All-Star break. The Rangers are hitting .196 for 51 at-bats with runners in scoring position and are 5-6 with 3.1 runs per game in that span.

You think the rangers are going to be open book with what they're doing here? Jesus, dude. Knock off the hand wringing and sit back and watch, son.

I've got tickets to Friday night for Aggie night. Would be awesome if we could see fireworks, 3k, and get a cool hat

Yeah gotta trust JD here. the MO for him is that if you hear about it in the news then it isn't happening.

Actually, Cole needs to be traded too in my opinion. He will never be worth as much as he is right now and we are not going to the WS while he is still under contract.

Agree then again with Yu and Cole gone ........?????

Crasnick: Yu Darvish could be moved

I'd honestly give up the hand wringing and check back at the deadline. Seriously, you're not going to get any indication what JD and the rangers are going to do until they do it.

I meant the daily "updates".
