Quin Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 So the Rangers give up their whole farm for Dempster and Garza, but can't trade one good prospect for a guy who solves their immediate need or they likely don't make the playoffs? Like the Nationals, the baseball gods shall punish them for not going for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Princess Dye Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 If trading Rios is good, then good. But enough of mentioning "now avisail can come up" That was something that could happen whether Rios was traded or not. Jeez. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was told will be a player to be named or cash. #WhiteSox #rangers I find it funny the idea that we would trade a guy and just get cash, or basically sell the guy off.

I just dont get it phrased as some contributing reason as to why the trade should be done. They are two totally separate things. You dont do deals of this magnitude, completely altering payroll BECAUSE you dont want to sit Viciedo or Konerko so Avisail can play.
