OK by me. Did not think they had the best to offer anyway as much as they had already traded. White Sox and Braves may still be needing Lynn. Who knows at this point.

I liked what San Diego had to offer the most. I think Ckevinger being added to the mix has fouled things up for the Rangers. JD could have fallen out of bed and made a great deal before, now he will have to work a lot harder.

Makes me wonder how much influence AJ Preller had on the deals when he was here with the Rangers.

if we don't start to hear some strong rumors by noon, it might be time to get concerned.

He was widely considered to be an integral part of the front office. I remember reading multiple pieces that mentioned Preller leaving was a bigger setback than if JD had left.

I can actually believe that.

last year, I really didn’t care that we stood pat.

this year, it would be infuriating.

maybe teams are still afraid of JD because of the Atlanta Braves trade? Heck if I know.

Twins should be in the picture for Lynn, if I'm not mistaken.

the twins and Yankees have demonstrated before ( last year) that they would rather lose in the playoffs then trade with us.

teams should’ve traded for Minor last year. Those same teams refused to pony up and they all predictably got their shit pushed in when the playoffs came around.

I think that trade is such ancient history to as not have any significance any longer.

I think it is more about JD not being able to make the hard decision if it happens this time.
