Stoney Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 Manny Machado appears to be headed to the Dodgers for prospects. Eduardo Escobar and Mike Moustakas are the Phillies fall back options for Machado. Raisel Iglesias of the Reds could help the Astros bullpen. Zach Britton of the Orioles is another name to watch. Rangers have looked into Yankees 3B Miguel Andujar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stoney Posted July 22, 2018 Author Share Posted July 22, 2018 Astros, Cubs seem to be the leaders for Britton. Britton isn’t Jheurys Familia but if you can get him for that type of price (17th ranked A’s prospect and a AAA/AA pitcher), especially lower that’s a cheap arm. Cole Hamels drawing interest from the Phillies, Yankees, Braves, Red Sox. Keone Kela and Jake Diekman are on the block. Let’s tear it down and build it back up again.

THSfanatic Posted July 22, 2018 Share Posted July 22, 2018 Personally I'd take him at a bargain price. His health is too suspect to give up meaningful prospects for. He would be a plus for the bullpen but not at the cost I would expect him to bring Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last year his asking price was astronomical. If he can get healthy AND we can get a good deal (No Tucker/Whitley) then I'm okay. While I'm glad we won, I'm not ready to sell the farm for another title. Save some for the future... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No way you’re giving up Tucker or Whitley for Britton. I’m hanging up on Baltimore if they pull that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm totally convinced at this point that Whitley & Tucker are 100% safe. I sure didn't feel like that last year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For all accounts and reports I’ve seen it’s a one year rental. I agree with you. Your telling me all year you’ve been planning on moving him and that’s the best deal you get? Bull.

I think one of the two was on the block last year for him. It was their owner that nixed the deal at the last minute after everything was agreed upon and medical reports were cleared. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a case where you can spend anything you want. It actually is fine with me. I know the Astros were after him, but I wasn't a fan...…….but they are much smarter than me. I don't want a 2 month rental. I'd be willing to give some valuable pieces for Iglesius Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoney Posted July 26, 2018 Author Share Posted July 26, 2018 Ken Rosenthal- Among names #Rangers are considering from #Pirates in Keone Kela discussions, per sources: RHP Tyler Eppler, OF Jordan Luplow, SS Kevin Newman, RHP Dovydas Neverauskas. All are at Triple A. Newman is team’s No. 8 prospect, per @MLBPipeline, Luplow No. 22. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
