Wouldn't actually shock me if nothing happened with Lynn. JD absolutely has to get this one right because his job may end up depending on it, so I could see him trying to squeeze every ounce out of potential trade partners and them all throwing up their hands and walking away.

I like Evan's tweet better than TR's

The Dodgers farm is stacked but they are notoriously stingy. I think Josiah Gray would be a good target as a centerpiece for the Rangers if they deal Lynn.

If they're looking to trade anything of value why would they spend any money at all this offseason?

He's gonna be traded. I mean he has to be traded.

I agree. I guess they think it helps them save a little face and have a true ace on the staff at the cost of a back-end starter. I beginning to think JD's hands are really tied. But also shows his savvy by getting guys like Lynn (and Pence, Minor last year) on the super cheap.

Lynn isn't going to sell tickets.

You can make a case Gallo will.

Watch the Rangers not trade Gallo nor Lynn


Would be the most rangers trade deadline thing ever. I think Gallo probably stays but dealing away Minor and keeping Lynn is just completely pointless

I mean, I guess not. I was holding out hope for some moves, but I shouldn't have gotten my hopes up...

I just have no faith in our front office to make any good deals today. I expect maybe one to two trades today that bags us 2-3 middle of the road prospects.

All that talk last night about possibly trading everybody got my hopes way too high, I'm just not expecting much now.
2 minutes left until the deadline. And we've still only made 1 trade for 2 middle of the road prospects. Sadly looks we saw this coming.

Only if we pay for 99.9999% of the remaining contract.

I would 1000000000% be ok with this

Sitting on Lynn with the outlook of this roster is nothing short of stupid as hell

It makes no sense to deal Minor and keep Lynn. If ANYTHING, it would be the other way around.

Lynn is arguably the best pitcher in the AL right now, you have to move him while his value is highest. There's no guarantee he is going to put up the same numbers in 2021. Even he did, he's only considered a rental at next year's trade deadline.

This is just baffling

Is it baffling? Seems like about par for the course.

This ownership group is horrific. They need to sell the team as soon as possible or so a new group can fire Daniels and get someone in here to do anything productive.

Man, **** this organization. There's just no reason to have any hope at this point. So incredibly frustrating.

Pitiful. Rangers held on to Minor last year when his value was high. They supposedly regretted it. Now they turn around and do it again with Lance Lynn.

This has to be the last straw for JD. Has to be. This trade deadline has been a complete and utter failure

What a pathetic excuse of a franchise
jtstanley4621
How long do you want to ignore this user?

Yes this is exactly what we needed to give this franchise a shot in the arm of talent: 2 PTBNL for Mike Minor

At what point should the good will about JD wear off? Keeping Lynn and trading Minor is just bafflingly stupid

Someone posted this on the LSB thread and it seemed fitting.
