August, the Orioles, and the Trade Deadline all arrive: BAL @ TEX 8/1-3

[scotsman1948]

Duran and Foscue may never hit above a .780 OPS in the big leagues or play good defense.
Roby and Bratt may never pitch to an ERA below 4.50
Or they could all be all stars.
Part of it.
There’s not room for all of them and the team needs a starter thats proven. 2.5 years left.

I expect them to be competitive next year and also in 2024

plus nothing says we couldn't resign Lopez to an extension

We might not know for sure if a trade was made or not until about 5:15 or so.

 

[scotsman1948]

Yankees trade Montgomery to the Cardinals for Harrison Bader

 

[DTC]

Maybe Moore going to Yankees and we’re using our prospects plus the acquiring prospects for Pablo Lopez ?

Either hardly no interest or the Rangers are dumb

Being competitive is one thing. Competing for a WS is entirely different. You give up those kind of prospects when doing so makes you compete for a WS.

This is unbelievable

Congratulations to the front office for not losing patience.

Several months ago, I said I was afraid we would trade 5 to 8 top 20 prospects between then and today. We only traded the one, Henriquez, and he was close to being at the bottom of that list. I was dead wrong about that and I am so glad I was.

Just wish they would have traded Moore

Just wish they would have traded Moore

They’d better extend both Moore and Perez or these moves don’t make any sense at all.

 

[DTC]

So the Yankees traded a really good SP in Montgomery for Harrison Bader

What’s their rotation look like now??
The Yankees

 

[Senator_fan]

Either hardly no interest or the Rangers are dumb

There was interest I suspect. They were probably offered a low level single A player in return.

What moves

How many rule 5 guys are we looking at possibly losing? We can’t keep all these players. Needed to move some and the vets.
