Series Thread: Rangers Play Three Games in San Diego July 28-30

Catcher market is pretty bleak.

KC - Salvador Perez would likely cost too much. Wonder if they would part with MJ Melendez. He’s a part-time catcher with adequate defense and pop in his bat (albeit with a weak OBP).

Chisox- If they go full-on fire sale, might they part with Grandal (with the newly-acquired Quero waiting in the wings)?

Oakland - yuck

Rockies - Elias Diaz? Probably not available.

Pirates - Henry Davis is untouchable, and the rest of their catching group sucks.

Nats - Keibert Ruiz is likely seen as part of their future.

Cubs - Yan Gomes do anything for you?

Mets - Alvarez isn’t going anywhere.

It’s back to Sandy Leon…..and Gray will win the WS MVP with his personal catcher….lol. I jest

Could. I'd like to see Foscue in particular get a shot. He's the most MLB-ready, right? He could DH and provide a quality bat to hopefully offset the loss of Heim's offense.

If Foscue could produce even at the level of rookie Nathaniel Lowe - with like a .265 batting average and a 770-ish OPS it would help a lot.

Why not? Bring him back, Gray ends up winning the Cy Young and ends up helping Texas win the WS. It's totally happening, lol!

Trade for him.

I guess Ohtani isn’t injured. Home run in first AB.

pitch

Probably best just rolling with Garver and Huff and praying that Heim can grit it out for the remainder of the season with pain management. I don’t see any catcher available who is that much better than Garver or Huff.

this is the way.

pitching first, DH/OF upgrade next. we'll just have to weather the Heim injury.

and he should just have the surgery. this waiting shit never works.

 

[scotsman#1948]

Trade for him.

he isn't worth a prospect. we got Huff and Garver ride with them

 

[armadillooutlaw]

Trade for him.

Spencer Howard for Sandy León.

You could use it as an excuse to trade away a junk player like Howard, though.

Who would we get at catcher that will be better than Garver/Huff?

 

[BULLPEN FAILURE]

Who would we get at catcher that will be better than Garver/Huff?

and why is Garver here if he's not a viable option even part-time with Huff?

Kevin Plawecki. Hooray. WS-bound!

Kevin Plawecki. Hooray. WS-bound!

Not really an option

 

[scotsman1948]

Giolito has given up 2 homers for the Angels
