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

[saddles]

The Rangers have no business shopping for a pitcher now, and my guess is that they aren't.

Rangers trade for pitching tweet incoming in 3... 2...1...

Promoting Ragans wouldn’t be a rush..
But what happens if he gets shelled in 3 straight starts and he has to go back down.. do we have other pitchers who could come up?
Arihara wouldn’t be too bad.. I guess lol..
But if one gets injured the team is on thin ice.
Mlb ready SP depth is kinda low right now for the Rangers depending on Grays injury

There are other options that don't bring Hosmer along with them though.

Now, if they get back a pitcher as a throw in, along with another target, that is a different story.

We, and Ragans, are at the point where Ragans could come up this weekend and the word "rush" would not apply.

I would pitch Arihara before taking on Hosmer's salary simply for a year and 2 months of Snell and his mid-4 ERA.

say no to arihara

Also, Allard and Burke could start for awhile if need be. Hearn could too. We have emergency options.

Blake Snell has a better FIP than Jon Gray and that’s even with him getting roughed up his first few starts after coming back from IL.
2.80 ERA in July.

I mentioned Padres eat majority of Hosmers contract just not this years salary.

Would free up Lowe to be traded possibly as well in separate deal.

Padres are said to be discussing paying all of Hosmer's salary for 23-24 and all the acquiring team would be on the hook for is the rest of this year.

MLB Trade rumors.......too lazy to go copy and add

Lowe can be traded at any time, if need be. We can just bring Huff up.

 

[Bmurph]

3 team trade, involving BAL, and we get Rougie and Gallo back.

I'm only in if Beltre comes back

Unless Huff is also part of the deal with Lowe lol

 

[Duane1952]

Woody doesn't have a say on who can or cannot be traded don't know where you got that thought

He does have a say. He could tell the FO that he wants to keep Calhoun

If they include a top 20 prospect with him and take back a much lesser prospect from us, then I am fine with that.
