Well if it makes you're team better why not? Would the rangers trade holland in deal, then get Norris to make it work? Unlikely. But I don't think I would do that. Just speculating why they had interest in Norris before


That is the key regardless of the name
wonder how many years Bautista has left. The right number would have me consider Profar

Atlanta for Tex

Just saw he mentioned this deal in the previous post, my bad

Yep, I think taking all those teams to the cleaners, reaping all the praise(while those other GM's are roast), is working against the Rangers

I doubt they'd get Norris and get rid of Derek... he's their best shot at a good power lefty. And he's cheap. If we're speculating like that, I think its more likely they trade for norris AND THEN send him to the blue jays immediately after getting him. Holland won't get traded or even discussed

This is true

In which case JD just needs to leak that we are close for a deal for Cargo/Stanton/whoever and see if the jays flinch :)

Yea ... well ... everyone would see through that given that nobody ever has any idea of what JD is close to doing ... so if there was a leak TOR would know it was a plant.

Even if TEX did leak that they were close on "Cargo/Stanton/whoever" TOR doesn't change its asking price because they are going to figure that Perez and Profar are part of the phantom deal too so no need to blink.

Now Rosenthal says Rangers are willing to trade Garza. Jeez these guys are in a frenzy to report anything. smh

It's just posturing from JD and clan. I don't don't he's willing to talk to anyone but it's all part of the game.

JD calling around like crazy for the big bat. Contacted Marlins, Giants, Rockies, Blue Jays, Tigers, among others. But looking more like nothing is gonna happen

true, but if they wanted Perez and Profar "plus" then maybe they drop the "plus" price. :)

We are going to end up with some 2nd rate guy like Morse or Dunn :L

I just don't see it happening during the season if it's going to happen anytime soon unless Texas truly breaks the bank which I am not opposed for a player like Stanton.
