What trades will Woody make? Gallo? Soto? Deadline approaches as the Rangers visit Mike Trout in the hospital

Happy Birthday, Scooter Fletcher!

He was involved in one of the most infamous trade in Rangers history when we traded him and just a couple of prospects to the White Sox for a lackluster, underperforming Harold Baines. The prospects were Sammy Sosa and Wilson Alvarez.

Oh my! Another FO ordeal.

If I didn't know better, I'd swear I was reading an Evan Grant tweet.

Here's another one for you.

From Scott Lucas:

Runs allowed in Ragans' AAA starts: 0, 0, 1, 2, 2, 3, 3, 7. Not in that order.

Yerry Rodriguez was pulled after just three batters (including two outs) and 17 pitches in the 7th. That worried me, but then I noticed he'd thrown 36 pitches two days ago. That intrigued me. He's thrown on one day of rest three previous times, never dealing more than 28 in the opening game of each group and never more than 41 combined. As I tweeted last night, this isn't akin to back-to-back outings (sometimes a tell that promotion is imminent), and it could well be nothing, but... it caught my eye. Rodriguez is on the 40-man roster and yearns for his MLB debut. My thought is the Rangers would want some clarity on his outlook heading into 2023, as 40-man spots are so precious, and the club has many tough decisions in the offing.

Saw it mentioned that getting Castillo takes SEA off the Soto board

Give him a contract and get him back here in uniform.

Just read an article that Gallo perfers to be traded to the Padres. Good! Any where but Texas.

Not bad for a club that has been in existence for less than 19 full seasons.

Always overblown, we probably made some garbage offer, that was never given a thought

Probably used as leverage to help Cincy

Why would they want this guy. An over 5 era last year, over 4 era this year. Seems like we have enough of this on the team already.

He has a FIP and xERA under 4.00
Team control for 3.5 more years
Seems to be trending in the right direction.
May not cost a ton.

Just bring up Ragans.

 

[saddles]

At some point in the future, the Rangers may need to trade for an ace. It might not be a bad idea to either extend Perez or sign a better pitcher than him in 4 months. It simply isn't necessary to trade for a pitcher now. It could very well be counterproductive.

I’d like that too.

With Ragans, White, Winn, Rocker, Leiter, R. Garcia, Porter, Bratt, Acker and Englert you’re probably right.

Only way I would take him would be if they would take Calhoun.
