JULY 30-31 Rangers @ Arizona.

[Nightcrawler]

Appears we will see Choo next year.

And Beltre and Elvis.

Looks like only bullpen pieces will be traded.

I would be shocked if there’s no movement tomorrow.

Surprised teams would wait this long since the need for RP is so widely sought. You may be shocked. IDK

 

[DT LUNA]

Quite in here.

 

[DT LUNA]

Choo 3 run hr

Appears we will see Choo next year.

And the year after that.

 

[BULLPEN FAILURE]

CHOO

 

[BULLPEN FAILURE]

Oops....I knew that......

How much of that wine you consuming?

 

[saddles]

The lack of prospects we were hoping for is changing the way FO will try and rebuild at least for the present IMO

It sets us back some.

 

[Kelleyman]

Appears we will see Choo next year.

Well he delivers nevertheless. Their loss

 

[saddles]

It really doesn't make sense to bring back both Choo and Beltre next season. Calhoun should be the DH.

 

[Kelleyman]

Choo and Beltre will clear waivers. A trade is still possible. I hope we can work a trade for Kela in a DHs time though

Disappointing to say the least but all's not lost

Yes not the ideal scenario

I think we’ll see something similar to what we saw last year with the Darvish trade.

JD will accept a lukewarm trade offer for a player or two right before the deadline hits. It’s either take what’s offered ( even tho it’s not great) or have the year end and let them walk in free agency.

I would like the chances of that happening if there was some kind of talk about them now. I know there is news out occasionally about Beltre, but most of it concerns there not being any serious enquiries about him. I think it wwould take a long term injury on a really good club for new interest to be ignited after tomorrow.

 

[DT LUNA]

About the time I start to like Martin......I don't

And Perez gives up a 3 run homer after the Choo hits one.

Injury absolutely is a key. Also Beltre getting hot and not being injured But if I am a betting man Boston only team I like getting him but they have luxury tax issues

I've completely written him off and have no faith he'll ever be anything solid.

Sources: Red Sox, Rangers talk Adrian Beltre trade

The Sox are already over the $237 million competitive balance tax threshold, the highest in baseball. There’s a strong argument that they might as well spend to make that decision worthwhile, considering they’re going to see their 2019 top draft pick fall 10 slots in most any scenario (barring some deal to shed salary, which is not expected and would be surprising as they seek to add talent, not detract).
