Bush. Won't be his first time.DallasAg 94 said:So, your answer is to release a player currently on the 40, in order to add someone to the 40 and bring them up for the 1st time to the MLB level to handle the pressure of a pennant race in September?gigem1223 said:DallasAg 94 said:

Personally, I could care less about the 40. It's go time and we don't need to be making decisions based off that. This team's window is
open. I'd hope they didn't make all these trades and signings to stick with the current 40 just cuz.
Which minor leaguer do you suggest?
He will likely be fun to watch.Tksymm7 said:
Jackson Holliday (MLB #1 overall prospect) is also being promoted to AAA. He's 19 and this is his first full season in the minors. He's played at every level of their system this year.

You have to remove someone from the 40, in order to add him.WestTexasAg said:How does that work? Does that mean there is no way to bring someone up who isn't on the 40? Why would we have signed Bush if not?DallasAg 94 said:

It's telling just how little we talked about the Yankees and the Mets helping us this week. We've been so damn frustrated and pissed off with our own team.gigem1223 said:
Yanks do us a solid and complete the sweep of the Stros

Noticed the Rangers have all of a sudden fast tracked some players. Wolcott is now at high A, Langford just got promoted to AA.
Also Leiter had another solid outing, maybe he's finally figuring something out.
I'll have to look into that... The Minor Leagues drastically changed after the recent CBA.rbtexan said:

If he wasn't on the 40 as of Sept 1... he is not eligible to play in the post-season.
As mentioned above, that means if someone on the 40 now is removed, you've shortened your options come playoff time.
Bush can still come up and play in September... just not post-season.
It gets a little more complicated. In years past, you could bring up anyone on your 40, after Sept 1 and have them available. The new CBA 2 years a go, limits September roster expansion to 28 (from 26) with no more than 14 P, IIRC.
When you look at the 14 Active players (pitchers) on the roster, you can juggle them to the minors. What I don't know is what that looks like. Can you just move daily, or is there a wait period when you send them down?!
Rangers signed him on July 7, 2023. Why would they do that? They may have wanted to see if they could get him to "click" or help them along the way. He had 7 weeks or so, until the deadline. The real question is what do they do with him, now? They can keep him for the rest of the Round Rock season. He could be developing relationships with players and/or coaches where he might find a role with the Rangers in 2024. Rangers may want to see about signing him for 2024 as a player. He may find his longevity as a player is nearing the end and takes an opportunity as a coach.

Dunning is scheduled. He has given up 10ER in his last 3 GS and only gone 13.0 IP.gigem1223 said:
Tuesday's starter is not set according to Bochy. Will this be the much anticipated return of Eovaldi?
Could be a big boost to the bullpen to be able to get an arm like Heaney or Dunning back there.

We may be looking back at that Chapman trade, like the Clase trade. Ragans is pitching 1 hit shutout baseball today thru 5.
