Yes..... Yes he is.

How about Choo + for Braun? Eh. MIL probably wouldn't be interested. We could re-unite Prince and Braun and that would be some line-up. It would get rid of one of the lefties.

Braun
Prince
Beltre
Josh

In order to do a 1 for 1 swap we'll be eating 50% of Choo's remaining salary at minimum. If we're not eating salary, we're giving up prospects.

That's why I said Choo +.

Okay. Who would you be willing to give up?

Jake Thompson and Ryan Rua

Jake Thompson and Ryan Rua

If Choo is traded I think it would have to be to an AL team that would use him as a DH, mostly. He's an awful outfielder

 

[Windingmywatch]

C J Wilson had a first hit triple? Now we know where he got is swollen head from.

Maybe the Brewers haven't watched any Ranger baseball.

Vs the Astros in Minute Maid Park.

So where would Gallo play?

 

[Justinkm83]

So where would Gallo play?

They would find a spot for him just like they'll have to with the current roster. That's a good question though. Maybe you trade Beltre (that would hurt) and let Gallo play 3B after this year. That would open up a lot of budget and get us some prospects back after giving up some for Braun.

 

[Justinkm83]

Good job Soto and the CWS!

Yep. Just saw that. Forced their bullpen into the 11th inning. That's nice.

 

[romeo212000]

Cruz's fear of the wall strikes again.
