I'd trade Darvish if not in the playoff race.

At one point was talk that with the new stadium coming that the Rangers would put a priority on signing Darvish, as he will help with attendance and drawing an international crowd. Is that still the thinking, or have his injuries put a damper on that a bit? Whether Darvish is involved or not, I'd expect them to up the budget and look to make a splash for the startup of the new stadium.

Stupid question, but he's gotta go in as a Ranger right? He spent the vast majority of his career here and still works for the organization, but did win a WS with Florida/Miami
First-ballot lock? Not yet. But sure fire HOF.RetiredAg said:bigcat22 said:

Absolutely zero question as to what cap he wears. 13 seasons in the Rangers uniform.
Now, Beltre is a little more questionable, but even then, I think it's a no-brainer he wears the Rangers cap. This is where he went from a really good baseball player to a 1st ballot lock.

...and Jim Sundberg won a WS with the Royals. But like Pudge, both guys are 100% Rangers.Quote:

This is an excellent and original post. I look forward to more of your high quality banter.cdowl38 said:

We signed James Loney
Thank goodness. He was quickly becoming a Rangers killer.Lucky #007 said:
Just saw Dae Ho Lee signed with a Korean team. That dude seemed to always be a pain against the Rangers. I can't say I'm sad to see him make that move.
I'm having a hard time believing the don't ultimately sign Napoli. He doesn't seem to fit anywhere else and makes the most sense for the Rangers on the field and in the clubhouse at this point in my opinion. The other options are just not particularly attractive be it in house or going and grabbing someone else. If you sign Carter, you better hope Gomez doesn't revert to Astros numbers or you're looking at two guys with epic strike out tendencies.DallasAg 94 said:
Lucky - According to MBTR, he just cleared waivers and no longer requires a 40-Man spot. He'll be a MLB invitee for ST.
Ryno - As for Profar... I've seen very little new info on him. In December, JD and Banny were talking about players. There was mention of lots of possibilities, with Profar kinda in limbo. JD mentioned Drew Robinson as a player they've moved around, whom he'd like to see if he fits there. His Winter League numbers might have frozen that hope. I'm looking for the rabbit to be pulled out of a hat. Hamilton, Loney, Profar, Gallo *ack*, Rua, Robinson, Guzman...no clue.
Asking for a friend?!AccidentProne said:
The question now is how long until Profar is traded? Are we shopping him now, or do we wait until the trade deadline to see who is selling? Will we be buyers or sellers at the deadline?
What can we expect to get in return for Profar? You said 2-3 prospects. What kind of prospects? Top end?
Would love for Darvish to stay, but damn that is going to be expensive
