Nobody believes that. You'd be complaining about the lack of prospects or whatever part of the team that was lowest performing. If you were dating Kate Upton you'd be complaining about the fact that she's not going to age well. If you won the lottery you would be bitching about the taxes you'd have to pay. 2 2 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imagine the value our young core has given their great contracts. Unprecedented value. There’s no need to rebuild. They built. Question is what the Sox will do when the young players want a real free market deal instead of the unproven early deals they were willing to sign when they were desperate for cash and security. Kudos to the Sox for being able to get those done so far. It wont be that easy next time. Maybe these guys will be dealt first and the Sox pick up some Rays type deals. Preferably a lot of the pressure would be alleviated if they were better at signing international free agents. (Non Cubans lol) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tnetennba Posted June 29, 2021 Share Posted June 29, 2021 Maybe we should let the rebuild play out for more than one competitive season before declaring it a failure and fantasizing about blowing it up again? The injuries and this rough patch have been frustrating as fuck, but lets take a breath. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just so you understand, Lynn doesn't have a no trade clause in his contract or 10-5 rights. So your argument never made sense to begin with. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe it was released in the off-season that Lynn did not want to be traded to any team but a deal was never close due to the Rangers ask. Lynn not wanting to be traded is the not the reason the deal did not happen. Edited June 29, 2021 by manbearpuig 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted June 29, 2021 Share Posted June 29, 2021 16 minutes ago, Jack Parkman said: We all do man, that's why we post here. It just seems to me that the FO has no vision. Holy crap. The just took a five year span of burning this to the ground, getting amazing returns, even in hindsight, for the players they originally had on the roster, and turning this into a playoff team last year, and a first place team this year. We have six of our own 1st round draft picks on this roster. You can nitpick all you want at some of the moves along the way, but you can't say they don't have vision. You might not like their vision, but they also have some fairly solid results to back up what they have done so far. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either way it never happened and the facts and circumstances don't even allow for such a scenario to happen. https://www.star-telegram.com/sports/mlb/texas-rangers/article245169165.html Here's Lynn from last August: “You have zero control over it unless you have a no-trade clause,” Lynn said. “Can’t worry about it. You have to do what you can each day for the team you are on and the guys around you to get ready to perform on the field. If you do that, everything else is going to happen whether you like it or not." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So your argument never made sense to begin with. Ken Rosenthal is reporting, however, that there was also another factor at play — namely, that Lynn had told the Rangers he would opt out of the remainder of the 2020 season “if he was sent to a team he did not wish to join.” That gave Lynn a de facto no-trade clause, since a team wouldn’t trade for Lynn unless they had assurances he would not exercise his right to opt out of the 2020 season due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Balta1701 Posted June 29, 2021 Share Posted June 29, 2021 38 minutes ago, raBBit said: The Rays signed Garcia in January of 2019 and Garcia makes millions more than Eaton in 2021 lol. Glasgow is in Scotland. Glasnow is on the IL from complications of being forced to stop cheating. "Yondy" Chirinos is actually Yonny Chirinos. Fleming is on the DL simply because he's sore and the Rays had an off day yesterday and have one Thursday. They can IL him, skip his start and carry an extra reliever. Plus he was slated to face Toronto who hammers lefties and they gave him trouble in two starts this year. Archer is hurt. As he was expected to be. What's the point here? That "Oh woe is us we have 5 outfielders on the IL" is an excuse we should never hear again. Not with the injury history of the guys they signed and how they chose to use them before their injuries.
