Rangers AA team is 15 mins from my house so seen a bit of him and the Roughriders. Would be a fun prospect as a return but not sure Rangers would part with him for Lynn. That bartolo's colonoscopy guy said he heard if we eat some of Lynn's money, Roby could be part of the return. Dude has what like 8-9m left for this year, so maybe eat 3m to get Roby? Still get to shave 6m off payroll. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NCsoxfan Posted July 13 Share Posted July 13 Hahn will turn any trade in a three way where we ship off the prospect, and get a 2023 version of James Shields. He will claim we’re extending our window and not giving up on 2023. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bmags Posted July 13 Share Posted July 13 I feel like the guy was trying to sound realistic, looked up the mlb pipeline rankings (which aren't yet updated), didn't want to go top ten prospect so went number 11. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChiSox59 Posted July 13 Share Posted July 13 If Lance keeps pitching like he has, that 2024 option starts to look a lot more intriguing, even just as an option. I wouldn't just give him away, and I am sure the Sox won't either considering their current SP depth, and the fact that this FO almost certainly will "attempt" to keep this team in contention in 2024. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maxjusttyped Posted July 13 Share Posted July 13 Longenhagen at Fangraphs has Roby with a 50 FV grade and inside their top 100 fwiw Quote Roby would be stuffed even higher on the Top 100 if not for his current shoulder injury, which shelved him in early June. Before he was shut down, Roby was consistently working with four plus pitches. He was sitting 94-95 with riding life, bending in one of the nastier curveballs in the minors, tilting in a similarly shaped slider in the mid-80s, and turning over a tailing low-80s changeup. He looked like a contender’s four-pitch mid-rotation starter, like a less physical Hunter Brown. Roby’s delivery does have some violence, but he’s always thrown strikes anyway. He is slightly undersized at a well-made 6-foot-1 and he has now had arm injuries in two of his three pro seasons. From a stuff and pitch execution standpoint, Roby was where it was expected Jack Leiter would be when Leiter was drafted. He looked like a slam dunk impact starter and one of Texas’ better deadline trade chips before the injury. The 2024 season is his 40-man evaluation year, so unless he comes back this year and kicks the door down, we’re more likely looking at a 2025 debut.

SoCalChiSox Posted July 13 Share Posted July 13 If we can find a way to clear like Grandal and one of the overpaid relievers off the books even for nothing in return, hopefully JR will allow FO to eat some money on Lynn, Giolito, Anderson to get real return. A 50 FV SP prospect would be a really solid return for Lynn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roby's peripherals are quite strong and he's also a 21 year old pitching in AA. Just from a data perspective, he looks very similar to Mena.

GreenSox Posted July 14 Share Posted July 14 If the idea is to try to contend next year, that would require the Sox to significantly improve and the Guardians, Twins and Tigers to not improve. Howling at the moon stuff, if you ask me. But if so, they may look to do something like trade Giolito for Glyber. That's just kicking the can down the road, with a weaker trade chit for next season. Better off regrouping for '25, when the books are a lot cleaner and some of these minor league pitchers should be ready to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg775 Posted July 14 Share Posted July 14 We shouldn't need to wait long for a Lynn deal. Get rid of him before he turns into a bloated Keuchel. Lynn is OK but he's another five inning wonder who is a bit out of shape it appears. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SouthSideGeorgia Posted July 15 Share Posted July 15 Heck, as someone said before, Lynn was DFA material not too long ago. I would be fine with any of the Rangers starting arms in their Top 30 at this point. They all seem to be performing well enough as lottery tickets… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
