Rangers hopefully going from Denny's to IHOP - 3 in the Rain, 8/21-23

And Ohtani should be able to pitch next year.

But, Dylan is doing even better than expected and this would be a perfect time to deal him. What they get back in the rrade could help them well before Trout and Rendon are done, maybe even by sometime next year.

Tough call. Your logic is not flawed but good pitchers are not always easy to pick up and they need a lot of pitching despite Ohtani

Something tells me you do not like little Roogie. Why? He was never talented enough to play MLB but JD offered him big money and two ponies never the less. Now who would blame little Roogie for taking the money. Tell me honestly that you wouldn't.

No one likes the situation . But put the "bottom line" blame where it belongs.

I’m not going to let up until this situation is resolved. We as in the organization has wasted countless at bats, money, and time defending / propping this guy up and we’ve received nothing in return.

he’s really hurt us ever since he got the contract.

90% of my frustration is with the front office tho... That’s for sure.

A lot of my thinking has to do with not expecting Bundy to continue this. Kind of like what I used to think about Minor a couple of years back, but this is to a much greater degree. I never expected Minor to become like he is now, but Bundy very well might get a good deal worse.

So we have to suffer because you're fed up. cool.

Not happy to see chirinos back based on his play so far, but I’m glad to see Chavez gone for awhile.

 

[Kelleyman]

Maybe we move Mathis too. So much to consider as minor league teams are at risk IMO

He definitely has been off. Hard to know what effects one's performance. He has produced at a avg.250 with 20 hr before coming back here. Question I have is will he be back 2021. Got a hunch Trevino will be back.

Just thinking about him. Will we carry 3 catchers next year. I hope we keep Trevino and Chirino with IKF as emergency back up. That would open up another slot for someone else

By "move" you mean release?

New thread is up.

Just say NO to Chirinos

 

[DT LUNA]

Just say NO to Chirinos

You perfer Mathis?

 

[scotsman1948]

You perfer Mathis?

Just say NO to Mathis too. Neither brings any offense. Sign someone who brings more to the team like James McCann and split the catching duties between McCann and Trevino. Then when Huff is ready trade McCann

 

[Kelleyman]

By "move" you mean release?

That is not primary thought and value would be extremely low. But it seems they are content while Choo is out to have Robbie and Jose in lineup with one star DH

I don't think anyone knows. I am basing my opinion on the words and actions that we witnessed around that time.

Evan Grant had an interview with the Rangers COO Leibman last week where he said dont expect the Rangers to spend big money this offseason.

He also said they wont tank and try to field a competitive team.

worst possible scenario
