2001mark Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 I approve Toronto acquiring David Price, if that occurs.Though it's been reported the Padres' Tyson Ross is their #1 probable target, based on return demand. Price is a FA after the season, I'm not certain Ross' status... though AA seems to enjoy collecting talent already under medium-long term. @2001mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBTV Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 Why do the Rangers want Cole Hamels? With all the talk, I had assumed that they were a couple games out of first, but I just checked the standings and they're not very good. They get him under contract for the next three years which is very appealing, but1) if you're not very good, why give up your young prospects now? and2) wouldn't some team that's legitimately a guy away give up a little more to get him? I don't know Texas' farm system, but I have to think that the best deal would come from a contender.Unless the haul is completely absurd, I'd rather the Phillies keep him and pair him with Nola and then buy some hitters with their billion dollar TV deal that kicks in next year.EDIT:Rangers give up:RHP Alec AsherOF Nick Williamssomeone named Eikhoffsomeone named Alfarono Nomar Mazara (whoever that is.)

BBTV Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 Hamels had to listen to Lee talk about how much it sucked to play in Texas - and that's when they were good! Hamels is going there when they suck. Earlier in his career when he was a crybaby that couldn't handle pressure and just wanted massages I'd say it would be a good fit, but the way he is now, he has to be kicking himself for not having them on his no-trade list.

The Rangers had insurance this year on Yu's salary, but the potential salary he may command in 2018, or he can opt out of the 2017 year if he finishes top 3 in Cy Young voting in 2016. He will cost much more than what Hamels is due through 2019.Overall, this is about the Rangers aligning themselves for 2016 as the Choo and Andrus contracts are hard to dump, especially Andrus due to its length (2024).

cmm Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 It took 53 1/2 seasons for Kirk Nieuwenhuis to become the first Met to ever hit three home runs in a home game on July 12.It took 2 1/2 weeks for Lucas Duda to become the second last night.

Still stinks for Hamels - I think he had 20 blocks or something like that and didn't list Texas so it's not like the Phillies did him wrong, but I'm sure this isn't how he thought it would work out.
