Rangers Claim Rios, but still have to work out deal.

Player to be named later for Rios. Won't be Garcia.

May or may not. Not sure yet.

We got Rios guys. "The stall tactic worked. The White Sox finally lowered their price and we got Rios. Lets see what he can do."

 

[terpsfball09]

Sorry, late to the party again... I can't leave my computer for 10 minutes I swear haha

PTBNL means that Garcia would have to clear waivers (IE...get past Houston).

 

[BigDDude]

Color me very surprised that they were able to work out a deal. A fine move by Texas if you ask me.

 

[terpsfball09]

Hearing that it is more than likely Garcia (thats the rumor going around the scouts), we'll be paying the vast majority of his contract.

 

[terpsfball09]

The White sox were pushing for Odor very hard and JD wouldn't bite. Then at about 12 30 the white sox settled for less

 

[Jbear]

I am cool if it is Garcia. I hope he does well with the WS.

 

[terpsfball09]

FWIW, been confirmed that it isn't a "top prospect." Very likely it is Leury. White Sox wanted Odor very badly, so this is why the Leury assumption is being made. Most likely settled for Leury. Sad to see him go, but this is a win for the rangers IMO.

Good job JD. Looks like one of our FA outfielders won't be resigned.

 

[terpsfball09]

I'm doubting either will be signed tbh

Probably. Interesting to see how cheap Cruz will be though.

Now the question is ... does the shoe drop on Murphy?

 

[Hambombs]

Nicee!! I knew they would cave last second hahha

 

[pegasusredleg]

Wow, got a call for one of those Army 100% urinalysis tests, come back and we have Rios

 

[jta4437]

Good job JD. Looks like one of our FA outfielders won't be resigned.

or any, if we have Rios, I'd still rather have Choo than Cruz

 

[terpsfball09]

My 2 questions are 1) Does he play tonight? (thinking not) and 2) Does he bat 5th?

Hats off for JD and the FO. The Chicago mafia was trying to put the screws to us and we waited them out.

Rhetorical question.
Better yet.... "That's a Clown Question Bro"

It's going to be Murph, Martin, Rios (L,C,R)
Butler will be sent back down to the minors...

Gentry/Beltre bench roles...

DMN says he still has to report and when he does, the move on the 25 man has to be done. So probably in the LU tomorrow.
