We don't have anything left to trade. Are they going to send Yordan, Altuve, and Bregman off for the ghost of Ken Giles? After this trade, everyone is going to expect a kings ransom for the lowest level player.texasaggie2015 said:
It is- at least for this trade.

Dana brown is a chump of the highest level. This is unbelievable and incontrovertible fleecing.

It's obviously terrible long-term but is it even better in the short-term? Kikuchi is an upgrade from Bloss, but we're probably still losing every time he starts. And now our RF is overall worse...
If this is really what Kikuchi is going for, just stand pat.
Why would we lose every time he starts?

I maybe could understand if we had one more year of control. But all that for a rental 4/5 guy???
This is what I don't understand. I get a rental if the rental is Randy Johnson. Not a 4/5 starter. I'm baffled.
So we literally have zero good young players. Great for the future.
Get ready for a platoon of Meyers, McCormick, Leon, and Dubon for years to come outside of Yordan
Cause we know they're gonna **** the bed resigning Tuck

We were pissed when we thought it was just Bloss for Kikchi. And now we also gave up our #1 young player who looks like he could be a future Kyle Tucker for a literal scrub pitcher. I'm so done
Future Kyle Tucker???

I like Joey but I don't think anyone thinks he'll ever be on par with Tucker.

Pre 2020 Tucker?
Looks like the reality of being in lux tax territory and having a thin farm system
Be nice if we could put the ball in play to the outfield with these runners at third one out situations instead of rolling over a tailor made routine grounder for a double play
"It's just another corps trip boys, we'll march in behind the band"
but Loperfido should have fetched more than 1/3 of a 2-month rental
Leon getting called up is a done deal. I’ve heard as much. If he isn’t dealt, he’ll be up after the deadline.

I don't know if Dana Brown, Jeff Bagwell, or Reggie Jackson made that trade. but the lot of them need to be permanently disassociated from the franchise.
Here's something to cheer this place up a bit.
Think we're overrating the players who were given up
But absolutely that is incredibly disappointing return for them

Wicked pitch from Abreu.

Man I hate this guy
I'm not as mad about what we gave up as I am about what we got in return

Yeah this is a weird one. Even my people are absolutely floored.
I think this is a Jim Crane "get something done at all costs" special.
This is concerning

This is just Dana saying thanks for the job
Prude ass Ranger fans can't handle some eye candy the camera man caught tonight.
Agree on how the resources were used but really what we are short on are potential difference makers. The next Tuck, Yordan or Altuve. We have a lot of guys that can plug holes and be decent players. That's why I was saying we have similar options to Joey and Wagner.
On Bloss, this goes back to my thoughts on the draft. We loaded up on pitching, which made me think we would trade one. I just didn't think it would be our best one and thought it would be for someone better.

I wish we could Mark Stoops this.
Abreu approaching 30 pitches in his second inning of work
In 2 years Dana Brown had traded Drew Gilbert, Ryan Clifford, Korey Lee, Jake Bloss, Joey Loperfido and Will Wagner for JV, Kendall Graveman (both on IL) and Yusei Kikuchi. Let that sink in. https://t.co/hPSuUXWjXJ

I will make a bold prediction. Kikuchi is better than Flaherty the rest of the season. That has less to do with my thoughts on Kikuchi and more with me remembering how bad Flaherty was last year.

What does this look like if Vlad was included?
Cabbage due up 2nd in the 7th
he's struck out twice on 6 total pitches
please look like an MLB player in this AB

Big seven innings from three bullpen arms so far.
