Duran seems to be swinging for the HR every at bat the last few weeks.

Minus 1 AB, Duran has been BAD BAD for awhile now. Just wailing at everything.

Yup. Before his HR last night I'm pretty sure he was hitting something like .180BA with 15SO and 0BB over the last 10 games

Duran's swing and miss, and lack of awareness at the plate right now is just bad right now. He's got to learn how to be patient and work counts.

He's got the stuff that just plays naturally. Especially with the season he had last year I'd be willing to bet he's just had an unlucky year.

I just know that we could throw together a better realistic package than they can and I'd love to see them freak out about it.

Another leverage situation for Leclerc. Let's see how he responds…

We for sure can beat an offer if we want to. Would like to have a guy like him for sure.

And if Houston swings big for a non-rental guy I think they would firmly supplant themselves in #30 territory for farm system rankings. Wouldn't be mad about that either.

Announcer jinx, throwing graphics up saying Leclerc hasn't given up a run since May 20something.

So with the news of Houston being pretty interested in Cease.. anyone willing to come up with a better package than them to take him and graveman?
I think that would take something like Langford, White or Leiter, Acuna, another pitcher and maybe a lottery ticket or two. I'd pay it. He has three years of team control after this.


Pretty sure Langford can't be traded. Even if he could, that would be colossally stupid to trade your most recent 1st round draft pick that plays at a major position of need and *should* be ready to contribute to the MLB club in 2024


You are correct. They can't trade Langford under any circumstances.

Looked identical to the one they didn't change for us last night. I'd have been pissed if they did anything there.

Let's not overreact now. He's been really good for a month now. Bullpen pitchers are due for a **** outing once a month. Let's see how he responds on his next outing.

Trading guys that are backed up behind entrenched starters with plenty of legs left is not 'mortgaging the future'. They're assets with value.

To be able to get not just a massive bat in the lineup but a guy you could trot out for a playoff series alongside Eovaldi and Gray…I'm getting more and more on board with going for it. You don't HAVE to know you'll resign him.

What are the prospects going to do in our farm system besides waste away.
I'm not talking about that. I'm talking about top guys like Zeke, Carter, Walcott, etc. If you can give up prospects behind entrenched starters then go for it. Depth pieces are not the same as guys with an actual future in the organization. Figured that might be obvious but apparently it wasn't.


Don't get catty just because your post was vague with regard to pieces to involve in a trade.

And I would absolutely move Zeke or even Carter to have Ohtani for a run at this thing right now. Even if he winds up being a Ranger for only a few months. You're still not 'mortgaging the future' with those guys.

A draft pick can't be traded until after the WS.

There's some luck that hasn't gone our way until the past few days. Two weeks ago that's a double play.
