Do you see them getting a pitcher for 2015 like grant is saying?

Not sure whether to take that as good news....or bad news.

1 hour to go.

A 5 k/9 though no way I want him

He's a ground ball pitcher though...maybe not many K's, but maybe some DP's?

Their price for rios was really high, so i guess they're just trying to get 1 of the 2 or 3 SP's they're gonna need for next season. If they're tryingg to compete, there's no point in trying to get a guy that wont be ready for 2 more years anyway i guess.

I've texted my friend all day, and that's the one text to me he was able to sneak in. He just said it looks like we're gonna have to change out focus to established innings eater if we are gonna trade him, because no one is biting.

"Dominoes are falling everywhere. We cant trade rios for a 1 or a 2 pitching prospect. We're learning the hard way right now"

O's acquired Andrew Miller - so the idea of a Cotts deal with them is gone...

...I tell you what, when the Red Sox decide to re-tool, they do it in a big way....

I guess no reason to keep him, huh? If we have to settle.

 

[BLeslie59Rangers]

MLBTR saying per sources that Cards, Tigers, Mariners and Yankees still involved in trade talks for Price...

ok, ok, we'll throw in Arencibia with Rios...will that get us in the discussion??

And what of Cotts?

 

[Duane1952]

I guesss JD's asking price is to high.

 

[terpsfball09]

idk anything about cotts.

I say we keep him rather than settling for a half productive innings eater...

How bad is the Rangers luck this year?

They can't even "sell" correctly.

We need to go to a Red Sox sponsored "How to Blow the Doors Off the Mid Year Trading Deadline" seminar...

Verdict still out on the Soria trade. Looks promising though.

Even worse, they decided to suck on a year where everyone is selling a very good pitcher
