Another two game set against the Astr*s - Rangers in Houston June 15 & 16

[True Rangers Fan]

It would be great to see the Rangers split this series. Gibson/McCullers and Lyles/Greinke are your matchups. I have to think the number of remaining Gibson starts for the Rangers are dwindling.

Rangers come into the series drafting third next year. Back-to-back top 3 picks plus the guys we have currently in the system, and you're looking at a potentially fantastic future for the franchise, not even taking into account what might get brought back at the deadline.

Has anyone given any thought who might be interested in Gibson and who they have that would be beneficial to the Rangers in a trade?

Can't tell you the specific teams, haven't done any due diligence.

Looking at the standing at the moment, you've got 4 teams in each league that are 5 games or less in the WC standings. 8 teams there, plus the 6 division leaders, the 2 WC leaders in the AL and 3 team bunch for the NL WC.

In other words, there are 19 teams in the mix at the moment, and quality available players are a finite resource. The competition to land a starter such as Gibson should be stout.

Shane Baz or Cole Wilcox look mighty appealing from the Rays list.

We have done pretty well with the Rays.

Let the bidding begin.

It looks like Gibson could get 7 or 8 more starts before the deadline. I wouldn't mind if they worked out a deal a little early though. It would be about our luck to have him get injured in late July if we hold on too long.

Myself, I hope we can get 2 really good hitting prospects for him. I would settle for one hitter and one pitcher, but we have a very poor offense and we need a lot of help. Outside of MIF and 3B we don't have much help on the way offensively.

For starters it should be 10 starts. 10 games for a starter is 2 games.

Rays play in a tough division, I assume they'll want to do what they can to keep their lead intact. They've lost a TORP on June 15th, so any reason to wait until the deadline is out the window, in my opinion. Rangers obviously would prefer a "bidding war" as the deadline clock gets close to running out, but they also run the risk of Gibson getting hurt as you mention.

Thinking Xavier Edwards on the hitting side.

I posted a video about this a few weeks ago. Cole’s spin rate has dramatically increased ever since he left the Pirates.
