Series Thread: Rangers Host Seattle For 2 Games July 30-31

Astros also getting Aaron Sanchez.

The organization grade for this trade season is an "F." The addition to the international slot money was a good move, but there were too many zeros on the grade book to overcome. Maybe the dog kept eating all of the homework, but the results are the results no matter where the blame lies.

The rebuilding has come to a halt.

Much harder to trade Minor in the off season. You’ll get less. Not sure I’d resign him anyway. They like Pence and JD thinks too much of Mazara. I don’t know.

Astros landed Zack Grienke. Holy. Fuck.

The Houston #Astros now become the World Series favorites by grabbing #Dbacks ace Zack Greinke, as 1st reported by @Ken_Rosenthal

Astros landed Zack Grienke.

I hope they paid dearly.

Man. The rich get richer. Verlander was the difference a couple of years ago and this is the best pick up this year.

Yikes Grenkie to DisAstros

 

[WastinSomeTime]

All those fans of contending teams are a lot more bent out of shape than we can ever be with no decent trades for pitching now that the Astros made that move. He still has 2 years left on his contract at $35 mill a year and can be a meltdown pitcher in the playoffs.

 

[WastinSomeTime]

Our man Sam Dyson to the Twins.

 

[BULLPEN FAILURE]

And the Rangers accomplished jack shit.

The thing is if we knew what the return would have been we may be glad that they did nothing.

That's cooking Crawler's goose.

I’m a big dodger fan for the next 3 months.

Fucking hate these guys even more now. They got JD’s unicorn.

Well they won’t be in on Cole this off season with the money they have tied up. But I have little faith in JD right now.

 

[Duane1952]

So, the Rangers go into next season with basically the same team next and compete for 4th or 5th place in the division.

 

[donaldson79]

Let the spin begin by folks like Sullivan, Morris, Newberg, and Grant.

FWIW, Hitzges thinks the pitcher we picked up will be in our rotation next season.

OH.....The Astros just picked up Grienke!

Right-handers Corbin Martin and J.B. Bukauskas — the former of whom is recovering from Tommy John surgery — are headed to the D-backs as part of the swap, per MLB Network’s Jon Heyman (Twitter link). Joel Sherman of the New York Post adds that first baseman Seth Beer and infielder Josh Rojas are also going to the Diamondbacks (Twitter link). ESPN’s Jeff Passan tweeted that a total of four players are going to Arizona in the deal, so it seems that quartet, which is comprised of Houston’s best non-Kyle Tucker and non-Forrest Whitley prospects, will be the entire deal.

Counting on Greinke to do a crash and burn in the playoffs like he did in 2017. I am with you in regards to pulling for anyone not named the Astros.

Saw it was 4 minor league players. Two positions players that seem to be able to hit and and a pitcher at AAA and one at AA. Also saw where the Twins gave 3 minor league players for Dyson.
