Choos contract is one giant poison pill.

What a terrible deal that ended up being.

I wish there was a way to get him out, but we will probably see him here throughout the duration of his contract.

It is indeed. But the key to your statement is 'ended up being' and this happens in big/long term contracts a lot in almost every sport.

And there's always a way to jettison a bad contract. It's just how bad do you want to rid it from yourself, and how much are you willing to lose in order to do so?

but where does he play?
You had to ask me that didn't you. I already saw your comment about Gallo at 3B and I tend to agree but that might be where he needs to be to get both of those guys in the lineup. Miggy was not considered an elite 3B but played there so Prince could play 1B.

Looks like Banny has thrown in the towel.

6 guys left on base in 2 innings. That will frustrate the daylights out of anybody. That is why I am in here on my computer and not watching the game right now.

At some point - perhaps this evening - he's gonna have to let a starter just get his ass kicked and spare the BP 3/4/5 innings of grief.

What a bad outing by Perez. 3.0 IP, 9 hits, 6 runs and 90 pitches.

Tonight the Angels were meant to win. Hitting every thing and every pitcher. Their night.

We have changed places with the Astros. Now if we can do as good or not better of a rebuilding job as they did.
Has anyone in the Rangers front office admitted we are in a rebuilding mode? I personally would be okay with them saying so.

Nope, they refuse to say the R word.

Really bad pitching and a team that can't hit.......hmmm this is fugly. I think this team is like 0-9 with the bases loaded. That's not easy to do

They seem to be afraid to admit it. Maybe they waited until they didn't get Ohtani before they decided to. That's hard to say. They certainly have been in what seems like a rebuild since then though.
