I've been busy with work and just saw the trades. Of course JD would trade Minor within the division. Would not be surprise if Minor succeeds over there.

Who cares if he succeeds there? We aren't competing for anything this year, it doesn't matter.

I'm guessing we are going to pick up Kluber's option for 2021

Yup... A #1-2 punch of Lynn/Kluber with Gallo mashing on offense will be the tagline for the "If everything on earth goes exactly right we might hang around the second wildcard until late Summer" Rangers 2021 Tour.

Feel the excitement. That puts us no better than any team in baseball save for 1 or 2.

So who's interested in a ticket plan for the 2021 season?

I can see floating Gallo and not getting a deal to make it worth it. But Lynn? Crazy. Multiple bidders, gotta just take the best one at the last hour

Ultimately this reeks of a "we don't want to open up the new stadium with a bunch of scrubs, so unless we get absolutely blown away by an offer we're going to roll Lance Lynn, Joey Gallo and Elvis Andrus out there as the 2021 face of the Rangers".

I mean, *someone's* gotta be made into a boblehead.
Unfortunately we are doing just that. A bunch of scrubs plus Gallo and Lynn.

Only takes a few names to market to the "yay baseball homerun goes far" crowd. It's basically what we did in most of the 2000's.

You'll have to pay me to watch this team

It's doubtful, but I'm actually somewhat intrigued on what happens if in late September the MLB gives the all-clear for fans if the team's state allows it and if the Rangers would decide to keep the stadium closed so as not to lose some of the "I want to see the new stadium" Opening Day crowd.

I know they've been bringing some of their bigger corporate clients out to the games, but I doubt they want the common fan to have a chance until next year unless they can get a high ticket price.

thank god for the Mavs and Stars so I dont have to watch this trainwreck

Should we tell him?
lol, I'm well aware the Mavs season is done. But there is so much optimism with the future of the mavs with Luka and KP.

The rangers have absolutely zero hope for the future

As a life long Ranger fan, I'll be watching. Of course, my expectation level is pretty low given the history.

I will watch, but I sure as hell am not going to pay to see them play.

I would love to know what exactly was our asking price. Sounds like we had multiple teams bidding and still couldn't get a deal over the finish line...

Just spitballing here, but what if one of the PTBNL in the Mets trades is Tebow.

I feel like JD has been chasing the dragon that was the Teixeira trade ever since then and hasn't quite been able to get it yet.

Are you allocating a portion of your cable bills to Rangers watching?

It costs me nothing more to watch the Rangers from my couch.

That's my point. A huge portion of cable is for local sports. It's the major reason revenue/salaries are so high.

So you are cancelling? I don't get the point you are trying to make.

There is no additional cost for me to watch the Rangers at home. I would have FSSW for the Mavs and Stars no matter what the Rangers are doing.

Lol at that statement after not trading Lynn. If you're acknowledging that, the **** are you doing keeping Lynn??

I haven't had cable in years. "Fortunate" to be out of market and get Rangers through MLB.tv. I think I'd rather watch the Rockies (local) at this point though.

Odor dug himself a hole so deep that no one would ever want him.We waited too long to control him and in return he controls JD. This mess with Odor is all on JD. Nothing can be done with him except buy him out.

We can't even send him down to the minors without his approval and there were at least 2 or 3 times where the rangers actually let him rehab from injuries at the major league level in our lineup everyday to the detriment of the team.

What they do with Odor doesn't even matter anymore. This team will be bad for the next 3 to 4 years at least. Odor has two years left and then can be bought out for 3 million.

This team is going into tank mode whether or not Odor is playing.

We have about 70 million payroll coming off the books after this year.

I'd rather see them buy out odor and play someone who might actually pan out.

That reads like a "I really effed up the trade deadline, I'm getting on the bullhorn now making sure everyone knows I'm open for business this offseason."
