Agreed. The price we paid was absolutely worth it.

Brad Miller is just stealing at bats at this point. I'd rather have a 3rd catcher.
Our guy did the time and was never convicted...still says he was innocent (just like Florida authorities said)Quincey P. Morris said:
This is from a fan base of a team who traded for a guy literally in the middle of a domestic violence case right?
Osuna was IN the middle of his 75 game suspension when they acquired him..Osuna also maintains innocence

I'd still really like a right handed reliever outside of Sborz, but we have some minor league guys that need a look.
I think LeClerc can help here. He's looked better of late, just keep him out of the late inning pressure situations if at all possible. He should be back from the IL soon.
Chapman does have character issues, but hopefully his talent and this clubhouse will be a good fit. And the price was certainly right. Much less than I was afraid we'd have to give up.

Striking hot and early before the prices get too inflated. Solid work CY!

Go get Aroldis Chapman, and if Liam Hendricks looks good go get him too!

Every team and their dog will be going after those guys. Going to cost A LOT
Yeah, wouldn't mind one more reliever. It'd be nice to see Bednar in this pen with Sborz, Chap, and Smith.
fairly recent, but was supposedly for an ankle injury? Not sure if that was a phantom injury to clear space or legit, but I am assuming he'll be back soon (no rehab stint in the minors). Who knows, haven't pulled up the stats, but seems like he was throwing better of late, especially in the middle innings (non pressure situations).DallasAg 94 said:I think Leclerc just went on the ILKT 90 said:Tksymm7 said:

I'm very surprised. Really thought it was going to cost more

Brilliant move by management. Get a deal early, low salary, big arm. Room to go get more if others relievers continue to underperform. The move puts them on notice that they could go to a bad team, so they will now start to overperform.
We gave up essentially nothing of long term value for him. Very impressive.
I was telling you guys that we shouldn't have to give up any of our top 100 prospects to acquire talent that could help the team, but nobody was listening or believing me.
This Cabrera guy we gave up wasn't even on my radar and I doubt Ragans turns into a massive stud pitcher so I'm fine with the deal.

I think Chapman in particular carries significant enough risk, combined with his age and up and down performance the past few years, that his price would be lower than others (like Hader, Bednar, Diaz or Clase, even though I think Clase isn't going anywhere).
Brian Taubman and Roberto Osuna ring any bells?Mr Gigem said:
The irony
I want Kendall Graveman as long as the cost isn't Carter, Acuna, or Harris.
Anyone interested in tickets for tomorrows game?
I have them on StubHub would would split the sales commision with you to cut them out.

Surely we put away the trash cans??!!? Damn
Well that was a less than thrilling start.
Good start
Rough start.
We're cracked.
Of course Altuve hirs a first pitch bomb. Cheater
Well, nice to see that kind of terrible call swing the other way for once.
Ronel White's outside corner....was a ball
Sucks it was a double play, but it's another semien run.
Gray leaving quite a bit over the plate so far.
Nice job battling back to walk by Jung.
Ronel White aint gonna last long at this rate....get into this bullpen in game 1 of a 4 game series
Anyone got a link to a radio feed? One I tried is blacked out in my market

I didn't realize that radio broadcasts can be blacked out
Sure you got the right channel?Chipotlemonger said:

DFW is normally 105.3.
The only time I've seen radio blacked-out is if it is on like ESPN or a specific TV network and the broadcast on the radio followed.
This umps strike zone is wild
There is so much to like about getting Chapman.
IMO, it is a win for everyone.
We get a cheap LH-RP that has tremendous upside and he didn't cost a ton.
Ragans gets an opportunity that he just wasn't going to get here. He was on the 40, but we're just not going to run him out there like he needs as a SP. He has the opportunity to really get some time at the MLB level to settle in. I liked him and wish him well.
KC moves a piece and gets a guy that has team control through 2028. Ragans has been a SP his entire career and I think that is where he ends up.
The add-on was a 17 yo OF we signed in 2022 that is too far away to really know much about. AFAIK, he wasn't a visible Int'l player and was lump with a bunch of guys who signed.

Good lord. I can live with these outside strikes, but outside and four inches low? Come on.
