This is very surprising. Kudos to JD, and Young, for getting this done.

That being said, I hate seeing Elvis go, on a personal basis. He will always be one of my favorite Rangers. This needed to happen, but it makes me sad to see him leave. I wish him well.
Well MY left too so it does and can happen. Beltre finished here but think you wanted to trade him. Slowed the rebuild

Not going to lie, I've lost touch with the team but seems like a bad move, you need vets to rebuild around. Seems like we are going to be rebuild forever. Feel free to tell me why I'm wrong. At some point, they have to look JD.

It also now seems no one on the team banner is on the team anymore. Two are even retired.

Young was different. I had soured on him. I would have missed Beltre, but Elvis was different.

Elvis did need to go if we could trade him.

This does make the pronouncement that they thought Elvis was going to start at 3B make a whole lot more sense. They never really planned on that; it was simply to build up his perceived value.

Elvis had already started to slip. Vets are good to build around of they are still good. In two years, Elvis cannot be expected to be good at all and that is when our window could open at the earliest .

Maybe they move KDavis. We will see how it all goes down for Odor

A's have already taken advantage of the freed up money by re-signing SP Mike Fiers

Listening to 105.3 the fan. They said that Elvis was not happy with IKF being named the starter at ss.

There is nothing to keep the Rangers from spending as early as 9 months from now, should they decide to do so.
