Five MLB Trade Deadline Targets With Proposals | Just Baseball

A thorough write up, here's the stinger:

Trade Proposal:​

Rays: Joey Gallo
Rangers: Xavier Edwards, Joe Ryan, Ian Seymour

I was referring more to his profile as a player, and yeah he wasn't as "rough" as the players Law was talking about.

I remember being disappointed with the Foscue pick at the time.

I might have been too. I will have to check. But, I didn't have the feelings that I have about the way our 2 through 4 picks panned out. I do have hopes for Zavala though.

that's 4/10/21 in the Rays Top 30. Edwards is 66 in the MLB top 100.

Edwards is a good piece but he'd have to go to SS I assume. TB has better pitching prospects as well. But the proposal is intriguing.

Yeah, whoever we trade I hope the centerpiece that we are getting back is not a middle-infielder.

I went back and checked and last year after the Rangers drafted Foscue, Crawler said he like the pick and my reply was, "I like their strategy."

No one on the board voiced anything bad about the Foscue pick. We all were very surprised about Evan Carter. He definitely would be a rare standout from their strategy, if he indeed develops well.

I did say this about our drafting strategy last year:

"The difference in where Foscue was projected and where he was picked can be explained by a difference of opinion. The other differences can only be explained by being very cheap."

I think the last part of what I said was wrong. They spent their slot money.

And then this from Evan Grant.

Even Roby was a different kind of pick last year than Carter last year or Cauley and Moller this year.

He did, yeah, but only because that meant the Rangers showed they were willing to move on from Odor. Which, they did, obviously, but young Crawler is still unsatisfied.

Yep, he quickly mentioned Odor. Lol

"I like this pick actually. I think it’s the rangers organization finally admitting to themselves that Odor is not the long term answer at second base." - Crawler

I want to know how Odor wronged Crawler. That's some nemesis-level shit going on there.

How about this proposed trade: Atlanta gets Joey the Rangers get Pache and de la cruz

I want to know how Odor wronged Crawler. That's some nemesis-level shit going on there.

playing Nearly everyday, acting like a leader, wanting to be the Gatorade dumping guy and his production was awful. He played like a double AA player throughout most of the duration of the infamous pony contract. The whole thing was a freaking joke and an epic failure.

he upset and alienated more than half of the rangers fan base.

How about this proposed trade: Atlanta gets Joey the Rangers get Pache and de la cruz

No to Pache
.111 .206

 

[Kelleyman]

Re Foscue Some might say apples to oranges but the Rangers were questioned re that pick. I do remember hoping to ge the Texas pitcher Detroit got who was available 2nd round. But yes slot money is an issue.
So the Pirates got David below slot and then got better players overslot in later rounds.
Just not thinking the org wanted to pass on Leiter.

 

[scotsman1948]

No to Pache
.111 .206

Isn’t he the Braves #1 prospect? And #10 prospect in all baseball

 

[DT LUNA]

Isn’t he the Braves #1 prospect? And #10 prospect in all baseball

His did not show much but I may be wrong.

 

[scotsman1948]

His did not show much but I may be wrong.

A lot of top prospects struggle when they hit the bigs

 

[scotsman1948]

His did not show much but I may be wrong.

Kelenic is the Mariners top prospect and he’s batting .115

Cole Winn added to BA top 100 list

Who questioned them about Foscue? Having a different preference is one thing, but questioning their judgment is another. I cannot recall their judgment being questioned about Foscue.

Cole Winn added to BA top 100 list

Keith Law has said when his new Rangers list comes out that Leiter and Winn will be one and two.
