July 27-29 Rangers @ Astros

[BULLPEN FAILURE]

Diek may be packing soon

Need as many pieces as possible. Time to restock.

 

[Nightcrawler]

That was almost certainly diekmans last outing as a ranger.

He did well.

I wouldn’t run him out there tomorrow or Monday and risk him getting scored on.

He’s an expiring contract so the rangers will just take whatever they can get.

 

[DT LUNA]

Tonight proves ya never know what will happen.

 

[WastinSomeTime]

Still like both

Me too but I do not like Profar's defense.

 

[WastinSomeTime]

Odor just ignited that inning. The guy is red hot.

 

[Kelleyman]

Going to have to pull ABD IMO got to get ahead in count as he settles down perhaps

Series win.

Would be nice to sweep tomorrow in blow out fashion.

Hate these asshats.

 

[Nightcrawler]

Gallo is doing better of late. I’d think twice about trading him.

Odor is on fire.

A winner is me. And a sweep would be just fine with me too.

Take out the Oakland series frustrations on the Astros.

 

[DT LUNA]

Saw a spark of our future tonight.

 

[saddles]

Odor's 5 hit game was the first one by a Ranger since Elvis did it in May of 2013.

 

[saddles]

Jurado had been pitching very well of late before being callled up so maybe he has turned a corner in his development.

[Nightcrawler]

So if Elvis isn’t traded do you guys think he will most likely be here next year?

Would hate to see him leave and get nothing.

I don’t think he will be traded.

FYI-
There were five teams on hand Saturday to scout Rangers closer Keone Kela, Jeff Wilson of the Star-Telegram reports. The Diamondbacks and Pirates – both of whom have had previously reported interested in Kela – as well as the Red Sox, Indians and Giants were in attendance, according to Wilson. Kela didn’t pitch, though the 25-year-old has bolstered his trade value this season with a 3.28 ERA/2.85 FIP, 10.85 K/9 against 3.03 BB/9 and 23 saves in 24 chances over 35 2/3 innings. Adding to Kela’s appeal, he’s making a relative pittance this season ($1.2MM) and still has three more arbitration-eligible years remaining. The Dodgers are interested in Kela, too, per the Dallas Morning News’ Evan Grant, who adds that LA has also been scouting fellow Texas relievers Jose Leclerc, Alex Claudio and Jake Diekman,

• More on the Rangers, who have yet another potential trade chip in pending free-agent third baseman Adrian Beltre. While the Braves have been connected to Beltre this week, one source “downplayed” their interest in the future Hall of Famer to Wilson. Grant passes along different information, writing that the Braves’ interest in Beltre is “serious.” Whether a deal comes together will largely be up to the 39-year-old Beltre, who, as a 10-and-5 player, has full no-trade rights. Beltre spoke about his future Saturday, telling Grant and others in regards to the Rangers: “We have talked. I’ve always been at peace with being here. Obviously, we have talked before [about a trade], and if it makes sense for both parties, I would consider it. But up until now, there’s nothing concrete that we can sit and talk about.”

Claudio - keep

Diekman - trade

Leclerc - trade

Kela - trade only if it’s a good to great offer
