Just don’t see how the Mariners have better odds than the Rangers do.

Lots of choices for tomorrow’s number
From Jungboy to Mr Ranger and more too that might spark a memory

Why does it keeps showing, not found.

I don't understand that. I saw the first one said "not found" so I posted the link again. It worked at first. It was saying Bubba Thompson has been DFAed for the 5th time in the last 6 months.

Here is Keith Law's report on Justin Foscue:

Justin Foscue, IF, Texas Rangers​

Height: 5-11 | Weight: 205 | Bats: R | Throws: R | Seasonal age in 2024: 25

Foscue had a pretty remarkable season in Triple A last year, but it was overlooked because of some of the players around him and the fact that the Rangers were so competitive in the majors that they never needed to call him up. Foscue walked more than he struck out in Triple A, and while the automated ball-strike system (ABS) helped boost walk rates everywhere (about 17 percent in the PCL), he was one of only nine players at that level to do that — and the second-youngest, after Xavier Edwards, who has big-league experience. He’s flashed power but he’s evolved over the past three years into an above-average hitter who might hit .300 if he’s given a full shot, with real plate discipline and maybe 15-20 homers at his peak.

He’s not in the top-100 because he doesn’t really have a position and can’t run at all, limiting his defense and his utility value. I don’t love the defense anywhere, but I think with this kind of bat, he’ll be playable at second base or first and maybe you can live with him at third for a short time. He has to be extremely coveted in trades right now — he could step in and be someone’s regular at first base right now for the minimum salary and likely be close to league average with the bat. I don’t see much ceiling here, but he could be a solid regular for six or seven years, starting now.

Earlier today, Evan Grant mentioned the possibility of the Rangers deciding to trade Taveras in a few weeks if they think Langford is ready.
