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

[DTC]

Martinez is tearing it up at RR. He is 2 for 3 tonight and hit his 4th HR in his 8th game. Bubba having a great game as well.

They’re doing great!
It’s nice to have so many prospects doing so well.
Huff is doing well tonight too, with a blast.

Next time Huff comes up he needs to be in the lineup more often than not.

 

[Kelleyman]

Pretty encouraging

 

[DTC]

The Rangers almost certainly need trade a few prospects right? There’s just not going to be enough room on the 40 man for all of them and it would suck to lose some talented guys to the rule 5.
Do they try to trade some of the rule 5 fringe guys or trade from the higher end and keep a few of the fringe as bench players ?

 

[Kelleyman]

His stuff looks filthy

 

[saddles]

He’s doing great!
JP & Bubba are doing good as well

Huff and Walker too.

Needs to stay at closer.

Maybe we trade a couple upper level guys in the minors for some single A guys

 

[Kelleyman]

A lot of movement still on his pitches. Let’s keep him

You are right. Where are some of these guys going to play? And you load up your minor leagues to develop but also to bring in talent from outside the organization.

Let’s just hope they decipher who needs to stay and who it’s ok to give up. It will be one of those things where we won’t truly know until about 2-4 years later

 

[WastinSomeTime]

I am not sure I saw this right but Martinez since being called up to RR in his 8 games has 4 stolen bases and has walked 6 times while striking out just 3 times.

Bubba as most know has stolen a base 48 out of 51 times.

 

[Kelleyman]

He is back

 

[DTC]

He is back

Awesome!

They will probably move Ornelas up to AAA i would think, or it will be crowded at SS. Or Foscue could come up so Ornelas could play 2B.

It is probably time to promote Ornelas, Harris, and Foscue.

2023ish-2024ish and beyond

C-Heim 2027
1B- Foscue
2B- Semien
SS-Seager
3B- Jung
LF-Duran
CF- Taveras 2027
RF- Adolis 2027
DH- Lowe 2027

Smith, Acuna, Huff, Harris, Carter, Zavala, Saggese, Ornelas, Crim? Thompson? JP Martinez?

There’s a lot of talent there.

You could almost trade 9 guys (over time) and be left with 14 pretty easily (factoring in the player(s) we get back.

 

[saddles]

With Ragans, Winn and Leiter all having great outings recently, the pitching seems more promising.

Garcia was roughed up a tad today(3 ER in 4 inn.), but overall he has been great since returning.

Cody had great results in his first outing as well.

Then there is Rocker and Porterbeing brought aboard.

Pitching front has a ton of talent. It’s exciting.
Will definitely be enjoyable watching the product at the major league level competing in the playoffs. Has to be a better feeling than an all out “bought” team

I would be tempted to move on from the 2027 FA guys first, especially Lowe. I would keep most of those extra guys you listed before I would keep Lowe.

Maybe as time moves on the team can be somewhat progressive by trading guys away even if they have 1.5-2.5 years of control left to continue restocking the farm and allowing our own home grown guys to come up.
As they approach their last 3 years just wait for an over production 1st half and trade them at the deadline.
Kind of like the Guardians and Rays do. Except we have $$ too.
Imagine what we could do with the extra resources
