chw42 Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 Big oof on Daniels' part. You gotta trade Lynn. Maybe the returns weren't as expected, but I don't think that Rangers team is competing next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Beast Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 Sometimes deadline deals that don’t go down can still put the foundation for future moves to be in play in the winter. Besides, I think of this team as more of something like the 2015 Cubs, so more talent can still arrive and be acquired this winter. Lynn could still be acquired this winter and they could bring in other pitchers much line they acquired starting pitchers in the early 2000s.

Bigsoxhurt35 Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 Totally fine with this. Would’ve been a fun discussion about who they got and gave up. But I’ve been a Dunning fan for awhile now. Glad he’s staying and it’s not worth Kopech. Side note: what the hell are the Rangers doing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very happy He would've helped us next year too, but obviously there is a fine line in what you're willing to give up for that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Southwest Sider Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 2 minutes ago, Tony said: Lynn not going doesn't make a lot of sense to me......which should also tell us their asking price was probably way too high, in which case Rick and Co. did the right thing. Yeah, if they really wanted to trade him they would have. I'm sure there were some OK offers out there. Good job sticking to your guns Rick. They didn't blink on whatever our offer was, unfortunately. Too bad. Let's go to war with who we have and hope for a miracle, then be ready to win it all next year with a more seasoned Cease and Dunning.

Baron Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 JD is a bad GM. The Rangers should have gotten much much better value from all the pitchers they've been trading the past few years. They wait too long every single time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoxAce Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 I guess Texas feels they can probably do better in the offseason since Lynn still has another year left on his contract. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
