The Rangers finish out the homestand: June 5-7

[scotsman1948]

A list:
1. Bring up Alex Speas RHP
2. Bring up Kyle Funkhouser RHP
3. Bring Jacob deGrom off 60-day IL

Each of these will require dropping/DFA someone. The obvious 1st drop is Brad Miller after that I’m sure everyone has a favorite to go

You can probably add Otto to that list as well.

I wonder if trades will open up a 40 man spot or two either late in June or early in July.

The mistake they made in placing Ornelas on the 40, may necessitate trading him.

Forgot about Otto.

The Blue Jays just optioned their Opening Day starter Alek Manoah.... to rookie ball.

This is the strangest season I've seen in a long time.

They almost have to make trades to clear spots

Garver catches

I wouldn't be surprised to see Brad Miller moved to the 60-day when they need another spot in a couple of weeks or so.

They may need that spot sooner methinks

 

[Kelleyman]

Lol

They probably will, but I think they have other moves they can do first. The will need multiple spots and I think later this month or early July, Miller gets put on the 60-day.

Probably one of the 1st 2 I mentioned will be called up by mid-June and a spot has to be cleared then

Makes more sense to DFA him

 

[saddles]

Makes more sense to DFA him

To us it does, but I believe they like him more than we do. This way they can keep him around. I think they value the help he has been to some of the younger guys.

Personally, as long as he isn't taking up a roster spot, I can live with what I think they will do.

Keith Law has come out with his Top 100 Draft Prospects list. He has it:

Crews
Langford
Skenes
Clark
Jenkins

Mets and Rangers mentioned.

It shouldn’t be a matter of like or dislike it should be what is he bringing physically to the team. I doubt if DFA’ed any other team would pick him up and we would be paying him anyway so make him an assistant hitting coach

DeGrom needs Tommy John.

 

[Kelleyman]

Oh no

 

[scotsman1948]

Jacob deGrom to have Tommy John surgery
