Series Thread: Rangers Host the White Sox for Three Games August 1-3

A new month, a new series, a new homestand, and somewhat of a new team, with the new additions. We could have another addition or two later today, as well.

Can we hope Cease is gone before we face him tomorrow. I doubt but we can still hope.

He’s been very beatable this year but our offense is going to need to be a lot better than it has to beat anyone

Latest report says both Rodriguez and Lorenzen will both be definitely traded with next couple of hours

Now that the Clevelands have traded Civale, they are looking to trade for a starter. I know two or three that are available.

The Dodgers are said to be "in hot pursuit" of Rodriguez.

Plan “B” if they don’t get Verlander

From Evan Grant:

10:00 a.m: While the day will revolve around Justin Verlander and whether he moves or not, I think it’s becoming more and more likely the Rangers are done on the pitching front. By adding Max Scherzer and Jordan Montgomery to the rotation and Chris Stratton to the bullpen, there will be a trickle down effect on the middle of the bullpen, which is where the Rangers need it most.

In all likelihood, part-time starter Cody Bradford, who has really distinguished himself as capable, slides back into a middle-innings role. One of Martín Pérez, Dane Dunning or Andrew Heaney probably also joins him for now. When Nathan Eovaldi returns from the IL, another one of that trio slides into middle relief. In effect, the Rangers add two starters to the rotation and three pitchers to the bullpen. That’s the net of all those pitching moves.

I think if the Rangers are checking around right now, it’s about catching depth in the event that Jonah Heim doesn’t return from his wrist injury. The catching market is thin, but it’s worth investigating.

Cleveland has announced that they are looking to add a starter. We could offer them Heaney and/or Perez as part of a package for Clase. Or even Bradford

Using starters to fill bullpen needs. That has been the Rangers MO since at least when Feliz and Holland were brought up.

Yeah, that what I was referring to in this post. Not necessarily about Clase, but that is a possibility.

No problem. Thinks are kinda fast paced today.

I’d be surprised if Foscue is still a Ranger this evening.
