Danks back in a Ranger's jersey? Hmmmm...

I heard the Bailey mutterings about a week ago, but they had died as soon as they flared up.

As previously stated, they really need BP help, and ONLY BP help, to get this team to the playoffs and maybe deeper. Just at what cost?

Unsure if I like that a lot. A 36 year old reliever who is having a career year for a young, inconsistent currently pitcher, and a 1B that I still think can turn it around

Chris Davis needed a change of scenery. It just wasn't going to happen with Texas. I'm not happy about getting rid of Hunter but I'd rather him then Erlin at this point.

My bad bro.

No flame, because I'm a fan of the deal for both sides. But does Uehara join the old man club in the Rangers pen?

He's right up there with Oliver and Rhodes, so I would think so

Not a fan of the trade at all by the Orioles. Chris Davis has proven time and time again that he can't hit major league pitching and Hunter is a pitcher who doesn't miss nearly enough bats and has limited upside. That's not nearly enough for one of the best relievers in baseball. At least get some young players with some upside and potential. MacPhail is a dumbass.

Erlin and Wieland to Padres for Adams. Not sure how I feel about this.

N/M I thought it was Bell. Adams is not a rental.

You, sir, are incorrect.

You must be thinking Bell, who is a FA at the end of the year. Adams has one more year of arbitration eligibility and will be a FA after next season.

You're right. Complete brain fart. The deal is better, still not sure how to think about it though.
