Aug 19-20 Padres host Rangers

Oh well sure if you backtrack and completely change the premise of your original point, then my analogy doesn't fit. Consider me put in my place!

I didn't change anything. I stand by what I originally said. The tade for Tatis did prove the importance of mid-season trades. I never claimed the acquired player had to be another Tatis though.

Your comment about being put in your place shows more of your constant antagonism, as did your ppwerball comparison. Relax and enjoy a discussion about the team.

Guess trading Elvis had no interest.

Before we go off and spend spend spend, it would make more sense this season to develop what we have ( Trevino) Solak IKF BP etc and do what we can to get rid of liabilities (Oder) etc. Choo should be gone and that to me is a plus. Since there does not appear to be many desirable FA's, then trade what we can such as Elvis who is in decline and getting old and Mathis or Chirino. Go from there.

You mean us, or the league? haha

we will make a few half assed attempts at some big name free agents to make it look like we’re trying........ then do nothing

They won’t be even half-ass

We basically have no offense

Right! Need to clean house and go after what we need. I just don't like spending milions on Rendon while Oder still sits on 2b. Lets make our dollars count for something. Rendon was used as an example.

what we need is a good offensive 1st baseman, a good offensive catcher and a good offensive LF'er. we're good with Gallo, Santana, Andrus, Solak, Calhoun and IKF

Hoping Trevino is the guy. LF 1B for sure but most of all, Oder has to go or he will continue to drag the team down.

I hope Trevino turns out to be good but it would require a major turn around

good news is odor only has 2 years left after this season is over. I wouldn’t rule out the rangers eating the last year of his contract. So maybe it would only be 1 more year of Odor on the field.

2022 would cost the Rangers $12333335 plus the $3000000 buyout for 2023

We the board

My idea was to add some longterm free agents both this past offseaspn and this coming one while we develop young talent. It might be a little tough to add all the free agents after everyone else is ready. Well, now it appears that the free agent part won't begin for at least 15 more months.

That pretty much means Lance Lynn is more valuable to trade than to keep.

I think Huff is our longterm answer at catcher.

[Nightcrawler]

Getting butt fucked by the Padres

No lube or courtesy spit. These guys are going in dry and hard.
