Rangers vs KC in march to #1 draft Pick

[donaldson79]

Neither Shields or Lester would sign with the Rangers unless blown away by money or years or both and I know this FO won't do that, and probably shouldn't. Those guys will perceive the next couple years as losing seasons for this team and will want to be on a winning club unless they are just willing to sign for personal security and to the highest bidder. Without big bats that drive in lots of runs this team going forward as is will not win 80 games per season without upgrading 4 fifths of the starting rotation

Murph, my man.....pretty pessimistic.....

I do see Prince as being 80% of what we'd hoped/planned on for 2014. And I think this is what he is for 2015.

But 4/5ths of the rotation............so Yu, Holland is not at least 2/5ths?

 

[saddles]

so therefore we shouldn't try and just accept our fate

It is up to the Rangers to try or not, but we should go ahead and accept the "reality" that we won't sign one of those type of guys.

 

[donaldson79]

Here the Rangers throw the "sacrificial" lamb out again......Poor Scott Baker.

I hope this guy, in 2015, gets a good contract....don't care if it's us or them.

Must be planning on keeping JPA.

OMG - n-o-o-o!!!!!

Holy crap......was NOT expecting this.

JD had "best" gotten" us a good piece for the future.

 

[BLeslie59Rangers]

But to Oakland? Hmmmm

This trade makes no sense to the A's ...they have Jaso, Norris and Vogt already...

Guess Rios was hoping Butler would drop that pop up.

Andrus did not need to be sent, Pettis.

Agree.

 

[BLeslie59Rangers]

Maybe the A's would want JPA too...we'll throw him in as a "bonus" catcher...buy one, get one free deal...

 

[Justinkm83]

I'm not understanding this trade. He's a FA anyways though

Can't really expect much back. Scratching my head on this one. Wasn't he the one Yu preferred?

 

[DT LUNA]

Still a mystery why the A's want Soto and also why we wanted to trade him. Is it possible Alfaro might come up?

Too soon for him

Thought so but reaching for something beyond JPA.
