If Tampa gets involved I would hope we'd be the ones getting shields.

heard that the Rangers and TB were talking separate from the Rangers-Diamondbacks-Indians trade talks so you might get your wish

 

[scotsman1948]

Certainly sounds that way.

wonder what Plan C is

Astros gm is on hot stove now saying they need a dh.

Please take FACE.

Swisher?

it would clear the way for Murphy to be our full-time DH but heard they were pursuing Berkman for that

 

[scotsman1948]

Swisher?

maybe

Would rather leave Murphy at COF and Cruz dh. Cruz's defense isn't getting any better.

Its been said that his price is/was too high...

heard Cruz might be part of the package in the multi-team trade scenario

Perfectly ok with that....

here's a new rumor from mlbtraderumors:

With the Rangers believed to be very much involved in the Zack Greinke sweepstakes, Texas is a candidate to add a big-name starter this week, in which case the team may look to trade one of its in-house options. As such, rival teams are calling to inquire about the availability of left-hander Derek Holland, according to Jon Paul Morosi of FOX Sports (via Twitter).

The Brewers, Twins, and Royals are among the clubs that have been in touch with the Rangers about Holland, says Morosi.

The only way I want to turn holland loose is if we get Greinke. Even if we get shields that's not enough rotation depth. We'd still need a 4th starter because Lewis won't be ready to pitch until after the all star break.

So if they get Upton do they blow off josh or do they look to move Cruz or murphy? Or do they trade MY and make Cruz the full time dh?

 

[romeo212000]

They're saying the royals might be in on this deal too.

we would have to get both Greinke & Shields for me to let Holland go.

the multi-team deal would have us trading Olt, Martin Perez, Cruz, Holland & 1+ second level prospects

Could mean Holland is involved... (since the Royals want Holland).

As for Josh, I dont think its an either/or scenario. Could potentially have both in the outfield.

Gentry/Martin in CF
Elvis @ SS
Upton in RF
Beltre 3B
Hamilton LF
Kinsler 1B? (I hear its being thrown around)
Young/Murphy/etc DH
Soto/someone else C
Profar 2B

Yes please!



I do believe its Josh or Greinke though.....

 

[romeo212000]

That would be awesome.

Darvish
Greinke
Shields
Harrison
Ogando

Holy hell! We'd be favorites for sure!
