ChiSox59 Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 QUOTE (ChrisLikesBaseball @ Jul 29, 2015 -> 09:02 PM) I'm not sure I understand why Texas wants him. Next three years for $65M is hell of a lot cheaper than he'd be on the open market. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whisox05 Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 The Rangers I guess are envisioning the top of the rotation of Hamels and Darvish for the next couple years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a feeling a lot of dominos are going to fall after Hamels goes. I would imagine that last player has to be Odor or Profar? Doesn't seem like it beats the package for Cueto or even Zobrist. Is Williams a Top 100 prospect? Alfaro I'd at least heard of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 Starting to make a lot more sense for the Phillies, although they have a long way to go...still have the Ryan Howard deal on the books. I think they're done with Utley and Cliff Lee after this year, but yikes. LOL at Chi Chi Rodriguez, loved the way he played the game of golf with such infectious enthusiasm back in the day...especially his antics on the green with the putter.

caulfield12 Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 (edited) Not liking this deal as much for the Phillies without Gonzalez, Odor or Profar included. Then again, it's a HUGE contract for any team to take on. There's not insignificant risk for any team acquiring a veteran pitcher on the other side of 30 these days who has never gone through TJ. Partially depends on how healthy Harrison is...that would make it a bit more palatable. Edited July 30, 2015 by caulfield12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
