Series Thread: Rangers Host the Twins for Three Games September 1-3

[jaar01]

I wouldn’t be surprised if the Rangers don’t DFA him

They could. But no one is going to claim him or trade for him with those numbers. Rangers would get him off the 40 man but still be on the hook for the salary.

Way it plays out to end the season:
Twins - Home - 3 games
Astros - Home - 3 games (We will face Verlander and they will face Scherzer)
Athletics - Home - 3 games
Blue Jays - Away - 4 games
Guardians - Away - 3 games
Red Sox - Home - 3 games
Mariners - Home - 3 games
Angels - Away - 3 games
Mariners - Away - 4 games

If we get the Eovaldi edition prior to going on the DL this will help in a big way with Scherzer, Montgomery and Eovaldi. Need Dunning to get back to where 1 inning doesn't keep putting him behind. This overall is a tough schedule.

Perhaps It would for this year but 2024 would only count if he wasn’t signed by anyone else. If I understand the rules right

No one is DFAing Heaney

Rangers taking their sweet time with roster moves September 1

No it is an option

Possibly they aren’t going tobring anyone up

Right. Not a chance they eat that much money. I give it a 70% chance that he is in the rotation next year; 20% he opts out; 10 percent they use him in the pen. That is, if he makes his bonus, which seems extremely likely at this point

Leiter pitches again, Sunday.

No one new in the lineup.

You think they could have mentioned that last night. Lol

And Grossman in is LF. And why Bochy doesn’t move Garcia out of the 4th place in the batting order is amazing.

I think the group-think in MLB says:

Change = Panic

 

[saddles]

I was really hoping they would relax that somewhat. Oh well.

This is the kid who was just drafted in July and is already in the big leagues.

I noticed the other day he was hitting over 300. Bring Langford up. LOL!

Just looked. He is hitting 324 but his slg pct is just 351 (11 singles and a double)

Not sure I would start Jankowski another game all year

Him and Taveras struggling should have caused them to bring up an outfielder instead of a a guy who is seen as a 4th-string catcher.
