    This is the correct take. This trade is absolutely disgusting. It's a very poor use of resources. The Rangers are paying Nate Jones so that they can spend $1 million of their own money on internationa

    Hmmm. strange.

    Neither guy shows on the Rangers top 30 list with MLB.com, fwiw.

    Castro is 22 and still in the DSL so he's probably not a real piece. Jarneski is 19 in the AZL and has pretty good numbers aside from a lot of walks.

    Well one is a 22 year old that's been in the DSL for 2 years

    The fact that the Sox were able to get two warm bodies for a guy who can never stay on the field makes this a win.

    I mean I didn‘t expect anything but salary relief, so getting two (probably) live bodies for him is a win in my book.

    Baseball-Ref pulls up nothing for Joe Jarneski, but Ray Castro has a 2.07 ERA as a 22 year old...in the Dominican League.

    I was not insinuating that the return was strange, just that trading a pitcher that is out for the year and we were very likely to not pick up his option is strange.

    Fore sure. Didn't mean anything by it. The way I read it sounded like you expected them to be.

    Was Nate Jones the longest tenured player on the Sox? Abreu?

    Bad wording on my part.  Just meant that I wasn't expecting Jones to be traded today, that being what I found "strange".  Not the return.
