Rangers Trade Rumors/Deadline Thread

[WastinSomeTime]

lol. Any news if rangers are in on anyone like cliff lee and make a run next
Year?

He costs too much and his best years are behind him. Plus he is another DL waiting to happen.

You cant adequately estimate who we'll be going after in a years time. No team can, but its especially so with this team. We have 8 risks coming back as it is. It wouldnt surprise me if we competed next year, but it also wouldnt surprise me if we were bottom 5.

BTW, the news about Baltimore and Lester being close are not true. Heard it from my friend AND Ken Rosenthal. Ken seems to be somewhat accurate and reliable a lot. My friend still thinks its Dodgers and the Pirates. The reason Baltimore or Seattle dont seem like good fits is that they are clenching onto their "big 4" prospects for life. I feel it would take one of them to get Lester, for sure.

No Oakland? Just using them to up the pirates and dodgers bids?

Ain't that the truth? Don't think he would help us like he once could have and I don't believe his family or he was happy living here.

Oakland has been talked about all day as the mystery team. Hammel sure sucked today

Phils are said to be willing to eat some of the cost on Cliff and said a deal is more likely in August

3.06 FIP. He still has years left. Can take over for martin Perez until then

I'm all for it. Yu, cliff, holland next year..

Ill certainly take him on a discount depending on their ask in prospects

He has 12 starts and 78 innings this year. And don't see the Phils taking enough money to make it worth while. We do not need any more of this nonsense.

Thats the problem. You know they will ask as if he is still at the height of his career and at $25 mill next year and $27.5 mill in 2016 it is going to take a nice chunk paid by Philly to make it worth it.

Yesterday, my friend heard he was "going out west" and that "LAD is far and away the favorites." He then later backed up and said that there were rumblings about Pittsburgh too because "they match up really well with Bos." Haven't heard anything about Oakland, but there are always mystery teams in on these big players. Even if you dont hear about it in rumors, every big player has a mystery team trying to land him.

Baltimore is considering Neal Cotts of the Rangers, among other lefties that can work against hitters of both sides, Dan Connolly of the Baltimore Sun reports. This meshes with an earlier report via ESPN.com’s Jayson Stark


I like Cotts, but he can be replaced. Maybe by Claudio.

Chris Cotillio: Source: 50/50 chance #Rangers deal Neal Cotts by the deadline. Multiple reports say #Orioles involved.


Wow 50/50? What a report! Lol my sources confirm it's 50/50 also

Well I think right now, they may or may not trade him!

In the case of cliff it will come down to what are they wiling to eat in salary and what is their ask in return? The more salary they are willing to pay will obviously cost any trade team more in prospects. If the Phil's will eat 15 million and take 3 prospects it may be worth it to entertain that option depending on the players asked for?

Claudio could be a LH version of Darren O'day, which wouldn't be bad at all
