Solid lefty veteran reliever with an era+ of 135. Will definitely bolster the BP.

Looks like Chafin is heading our way. Not sure on return yet.
I may not be a rangers fun but I'm extremely jealous of this move. Dude just screams badass coming out of the bullpenQuincey P. Morris said:The Texas Rangers are finalizing a deal to acquire left-handed reliever Andrew Chafin from the Detroit Tigers, sources tell ESPN.

7 games back of a playoff spot with 6 teams or so vying for it. That's a tough task, we'd be in the same boat except our division sucks donkey ballsFuzzy Dunlop said:
So the Tigers are just giving up? They're aren't winning the Central but are only a game behind us in the wild card. Seems kind of knee jerk to throw in the towel. I don't think they're getting great prospects in return.
I wonder if we're giving up quite a bit and taking on a bat as well but only Chafin being floated out there.

They probably thought they were getting Vlady and all the best players.
They got a meh innings guy and now a horrible LH RP for Intl pool money.
Keep digging. Exhaust all flexibility to add cheap talent.
