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

The Rangers tries to be cute in the Rendon negotiations and were embarrassed. In hindsight, it turned out great. It also taught them a lesson and that made them much more aggressive this past offseason.

The Rangers offer for Rendon did come out the way they usually do, through sources. It was nowhere near what had been speculated Rendon would get.

Everything worked out great though.

Seattle overpaid last night.

The Rangers had no business even offering anything.

i think it had something to do with the number of years on the contract. i think Rendon and his agent said he wouldn't take any offer below 7 and the Rangers offered him 5 years

That does sound familiar.

The media would be the outlet but someone within the Rangers organization had have to have stated the offer and details or it couldn't have been available for the media. I dont think the Rangers made it public to receive credit for making the offer. I just think the offer was made for the organization to justify their attempt.

Yes it worked out perfectly

Yes the Mariners overpaid in talent but we are talking about a team that hasn't reached the post season, in longer than any other team in professional sports. If it gets them in and they get hot and lucky and go deep, it might do them the good, they were looking for.

You just never know where pitching might take you.

It would make sense with the extra wild cards this year, that it would be more of a sellers market this year than ever before.

 

[WastinSomeTime]

Now that is a very different lineup.

 

[saddles]

A short outing, but a good one.

 

[DT LUNA]

Good sitting Seager another. Need him 100% healthy

Okay, I will go out on a limb here and say Josh Smith hits his first regular home run tonight. He is 4 for his last 9 so I have a good feeling about him tonight.

Wish you all the luck.

I admire your optimism, but we all know how this is going to turn out

You and Shirley MacLaine. Someone might get the reference.

Perez next scheduled start is on Wednesday August 3rd but will it be in a Ranger uniform?

Looks like it but Yankees are looking for a pitcher.

I think so.

My money is on the Rangers ending up with a QO pick after failing to come to terms with an extension.

Better build a fire under somebody's butt. Time is growing short

Can't get anyone to return my calls

 

[WastinSomeTime]

In just Martinez 7th game with RR he has hit his 3rd HR.

 

[WastinSomeTime]

Leiter has just given up 1 hit, a HR, through 5 innings. Very encouraging.
