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

Not a bad idea
Maybe Santana instead of Richards.. being that Richards can go multiple innings.. which we desperately need unfortunately

whatever it takes

I wonder if the Rangers plan on stretching Burke out into a starter next year or keeping him as a bullpen weapon?

I wouldn’t mind keeping in the multi inning relief role. He’s been very valuable.
Same with Moore.

They’ve both been very helpful to the Rangers this year in their respective roles

This team needs a lot of improvement. However, until pitching is improved drasticly from top to bottom, nothing else will make much difference. We have tools to improve with help from our prospects and one or two future FA's. Fix the pitching and every thing else will follow straight into contention. My perspective.

I think the Rangers should have about $40 million AAV to spend this off-season.

Who do y’all want??

Also trade wise, just curious who y’all would want to trade for and who you would be ok with giving up from our top 30 in such a trade?

Also curious what y’all think about JP Martinez, Ornelas, Viloria, Elier Hernandez and Kellen Strahm?

Zavala has a HR & a 2B tonight.
Crim is 2-2 with a HR as well

Bubba Thompson is 2-2 with a 3b and a SB

Carter is 2-4 with a 2B and 3 RBI

My mantra is always keep the best and trade the rest.

That’s a good operating philosophy lol

 

[saddles]

who y’all would want to trade for

An ace, when we are the point of needing one, ala Cliff Lee. A mid-season trade. That point would be when we have a good chance of going deep into the postseason. That is, if we haven't developed one by then.

 

[saddles]

Two or three guys for the pen.

You wouldn’t be interested in getting an additional SP to add to Gray and hopefully Perez to start the season off with a decent 1-3?

Do you think Howard and Hearn would make good bullpen arms?

watching the padres game. 1st inning.
Soto Walked, machado doubles, Bell Walks, Cronenworth HBP, then Drury hits a grand slam

Beltre won't ever get his ring, but if Darvish did I'd be thrilled.

In FA I would like to sign at least one of Rodón, Manaea, Kershaw and Eovoldi.

Syndergaard?

My top FA SP targets would be Rodon, Clevinger, Kershaw, Syndergaard, Taijuan Walker, Taillon, Manaea.
Pretty much the top 7 SP on the market.
Degrom is older and fragile imo..

 

[armadillooutlaw]

Syndergaard?

Sure, but if they miss out on some of the more premium pitchers.

 

[Senator_fan]

Who do y’all want??

Ohtani, but ain’t gonna happen.

 

[Bmurph]

Syndergaard?

De Grom….?

Nevermind I see the post later about older and fragile

 

[DTC]

Yeah let’s just get Judge and one of the top pitchers. Then trade for a reliever or 2.
Call it an off-season.
Nothing to it lol
