Rangers V The Clock - draft and trade deadlines approaching as ARI comes to the Grill

[saddles]

We still have Gibson and Kennedy to trade as well!

Oh, that should be fun. 4 more B level prospects on the way. Yippee!

It would appear the ratings are outdated but I get if anyone is disappointed

Lyles got screwed on that walk

This trade will take awhile to grade but at least we made our minor league teams happy

 

[Kelleyman]

Will make it interesting who to add

Terry having a rough go.

I knew as soon as I saw how many we were getting that quality was not part of the package. That, and I really didn't like hardly any of the Yankees prospects when I have looked lately. It is really, really disappointing. First the draft after Leiter and now this. It is really disheartening.

My hats off to all ya that still ride or die for this team. It's really tough to watch this team fall back to what it once was. I'm sort of surprised JD is still with us.

The prospects any good? Doesn't sound like it was a Tex trade.

I’d guess Culberson, Holt, Gallo, Kennedy, Gibson, Lyles and possibly Bush will not be on the 40 man at that point.

Who else do we have in the minors coming up for rule 5 draft? Anyone know?

We don't know the final trade structure yet, FYI. Names aren't finalized.

Seems like the Rangers were going for casting a wide net for high ceiling players rather than a couple of high floor guys. A trade like this takes a couple of seasons to accurately evaluate.

Certainly an unexpected trade, and short term the Yankees definitely came away the winner. But for a team that is rebuilding, these kinds of trades make sense. Who knows, this could allow us to flip some players down the road for quality pieces.

Why the rush I wonder. Had tomorrow and half of Friday to make this trade.

Way to early to evaluate. El Bombi is a good example.

For a lot of rebuilding teams that might make sense, but we were already considered one of the deepest systems in baseball. We need a few high quality pieces and Gallo was just about the last chance we had of getting that through trade.

I am sick to my stomach about it.

Scott Lucas has a list on his site I believe

I don't think Gallo was going to bring back a high quality piece (A level).

Then I would have gladly taken the comp pick.

On the Rangers subreddit someone started a thread asking if this was the lowest point in franchise history.

I think people are really overreacting.
