latest offseason news

I also don't trade Jorge Alfaro, kid might just be a stud at the catcher position about the time that we need one

Other than that I'm ok with losing just about anyone

I want to see Martin Perez, Profar and Alfaro play for the Rangers far more than any incremental improvement that a Matt Garza might provide for this year

Would you do a Feldman, Olt, Ramirez trade for garza? That would be steep to me.

 

[Al Falfa]

Borass will probably stop him from negotiating with the Rangers and try to get something like Pujols got[/QUOTE


And monkeys might fly out of the Boras butt. Andrus is good, but he's a long way from being a super star that will warrant that kind of money.

What time do we find out who got the Darvish bid?

edit: I see bid are taken until 4pm tomorrow. I guess we will know sometime tomorrow evening.

 

[bone3421]

tomorrow around 5 ET is when it should be announced.....one more day then we will see if the reports are true or if the FO was just sending out false info about not enough money to pursue certain players

Why would they want Feldman?

But I'm not at all a Garza fan, so I'd have to say no

They reportedly asked for him.

 

[jta4437]

Feldman and Olt sure, throw in Ramirez, not as enthused

I agree. Any of those are possibles to be dealt, but all three for Garza is too much in my opinion.

but Borass believes that every one of his clients are superstars

More from Speier (via Twitter) who notes that the deal should be a good opportunity for both Weiland and Lowrie. Lowrie has largely been blocked by Marco Scutaro and now would have had Jose Iglesias in front of him. Meanwhile, Weiland was set to start the year in Triple-A but will now get to pitch for the Astros' varsity squad.


anyone think we might make an offer from Lowrie?

I thought we were already trying to get him, might try to make an offer to HOU for him now. Is he onboard with playing only a handful of games and being the spot fillin guy behind even Mike.

Boston wanted too much for him which makes it comical that they traded him + someone for Melancon.

he can play multiple position which would make him a good replacement for Blanco

Moron red sox probably thought "well, at least we can send him to the NL"

That's a real possibility ... and Lowrie would be an excellent addition although just by asking about him ... the price is going to go up too high for the #25 guy.

buster olney-----hearing 2 names for darvish texas and blue jays....

 

[bone3421]

mlb will tell nippon how much the winning bid is then they have 4 days to accept......

[bone3421]

Yu Darvish bid sent to Nippon Ham Fighters - Dallas Texas Rangers Blog - ESPN Dallas

 

[romeo212000]

then mentioned giants and seattle

Because thats what the giants are lacking... starting pitching.

 

[dmc0015]

I will be pleasantly shocked if the Rangers posted the winning bid.
