Perez now pitching for his job as a starter and not doing so well

Like I said trade for Rodriguez and Lange release Perez

So I guess we can't pry Goldy away either.....?

Never believe either was going anywhere

Now if they’ll talk about Montgomery and Hicks

Looks like the Rangers dodged a bullet not giving him a multi year deal worth big money to watch him revert back to what he has always been

Lineup is ice cold. Can’t imagine CY stays put now that he’s acquired Scherzer. If we can get Seager back plus add one more bat and one reliever, I think we will at least make the playoffs.

Rodriguez, Foley and Lange?

Rodriguez, Foley and Lange?

I guess they are assuming the bats will just figure it out?

At best they may add 1 bat although who is a major question as those mentioned are on teams who are now being reported as not being on the sell market anymore.

Seager may be back on Tuesday is about all we can hope for.

Rodriguez, Foley and Lange?

That works

I am guessing that Max Scherzer puts up a 4.05 ERA with us for the rest of the regular season.

Hearing that the Rangers are in deep talks with both the Cardinals and the Tigers about Montgomery and Hicks and Rodriguez &Lange.

Guess we see which one happens

Boston has gone from a seller to buyer so don’t think it happens.

They’re only 2.5 games out of the third wc

He may and he may be better or he may be worse but what I do like is that the Rangers have him for next year and at both this and next at a combined $22.5m which could be a bargain for his caliber of arm. That is if he doesn't regress at increased rate over that time which I dont believe he will. He's 39 and not 42.

You never want to see guy with Acuna's potential leave town but you got to give up something to make a move and I am ok with it (because I dont get a vote and it's too late even if I did) being there isn't really a spot for him in the infield and likely in CF if. Taveras doesn't pan out and Carter isn't shipped out.

The thing I am happiest about is even if the Rangers aren't WS bound this year this moves by the FO tells the players and fans they aren't sitting on their hands and they are always looking to make the cub better and a push for the playoffs and that they believe in this team (whether they ultimately should) and want to improve it. That could go a long way in the clubhouse and in overall morale.

NOW GO DO MORE BIG SHIT.......but dont give up any value because this board will cry

Gray has posted a 6.49 ERA in his past seven starts.

I dont really see them as a buyer they traded a player to the Dodgers already albeit he isn't a superstar. I think they are more realistic than the Angels but the Angels are trying to get Ohtanit to re-sign so they have to make it appear they are going for it, even though I willl be excited to see it bite them in the ass
