rangers trade thoughts........

Man I really don't see that happening. But then again desperate times calls for desperate measures and they wouldn't be giving up much of anything to get him back here. It would have to be a little awkward for Young coming back.

I don't think that it's going to happen either. At least I hope not anyway. MY is apparently being considered only as a very distant fall-back option if their efforts to obtain an hard-hitting outfielder fall through.

A Rod about to be suspended til the end of 2014. This doesn't spell well for Nelly. There starting to hand them down. He's not gonna last the season. Get rid of him and whoever else while you can JD

How do you know for sure nelly is going to get suspended?

 

[terpsfball09]

There are reports saying they are gonna hand them all down next week, plus I even said last week that I have a really strong suspicion that in the next couple of weeks Nelly was gonna be done. Turns out I'm going to be right

Gonna be interesting if they do it now or next season. I wonder how long it will be

If he's not I'm gonna be pissed

They won't do it next season. Put money on it. It happens by the 15th. No doubt in my mind.

Well see I guess

Forget about any trading. Keep what you have including our prospects. Play it out as is. Make sure we resign Garza and rebuild our offense in the off season. If we do that with the pitching we have we will be in great shape next year.

I think the thing with Colon is, he's already been suspended for using the PEDs he obtained from Biogenesis, its possible they won't suspend him twice for essentially the same offense

there was nothing to indicate that the suspension last year was tied to Biogenesis so the MLB could rule that this is a different issue and might be grounds for a second-offense suspension

Only thing is I think the union will fight for and defend Colon on that basis. The baseball union is the toughest of all sports.

from previous statements, the Union will not support the players this time

Joe Nathan is being shopped by the Rangers for an established hitter, other teams say. More than just internal talks.

 

[Eriko212121]

Trading Nathan? Get the fork out, we're done

I also heard that on 103.3

Seriously we have soria, scheppers and Feliz that are capable, makes sense to me if we can get an impact guy

They won't defend ARod and couldn't support Braun but in Colon's case they have reason to support but we'll see.

On a positive note-the Orioles keep losing as well.
