ZeroTolerance 584 Posted July 31, 2016 Apparently Lucroy not an Indian and still available. Why does Milwaukee want to move him so bad with a favorable contract next year ? More valuable as trade bait with that extra year remaining and they clearly are not contenders in 2017. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cruzer 1,996 Posted July 31, 2016 The Good: My Rangers seem to have life again, sweep of KC and back to 6 game lead over the Stros! The Bad: We made no real push for Chapman nor Miller - and both went to 2 of the best teams in the league. We better deal Gallo before his stock plummets any focking further and get a damn pitcher.

Cruzer 1,996 Posted August 1, 2016 Rangers acquire Carlos Beltran from the Yanks for Dillon Tate (pitching prospect).... Well, it's a power right handed DH - but damn, sure hated to give Tate. I'd thought we'd get more for him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mike Honcho 5,544 Posted August 1, 2016 Apparently Lucroy not an Indian and still available. Why does Milwaukee want to move him so bad with a favorable contract next year ? Brew Crew needs a lot more than 1 really good catcher to contend. Best case scenario, fantasy world, everything goes right, they push for a wild card in 2018. Lucroy can see the writing on the wall and while he and agent approached Brewers for an extension before 2015, I doubt that happens again as Lucroy says he wants to play for a contender. ETA: Will Smith to Giants for Starting Pitcher(2015 draft pick) and a catcher. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mike Honcho 5,544 Posted August 1, 2016 My Rangers have been trying to land Lucroy as well.. I'd love to see him here - our catchers are shiat. I expected to wake up and hear that was a done deal, but every time I go back and check the rumors, the deal kept getting bigger and bigger. First it was Lucroy for Prospects, then Lucroy + Reliever(Jeffries or Smith), then Lucroy+Reliever+Starting Pitcher(Guerra). If that last one was true, Texas would have to give MB an entire minor league team. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I keep hearing that Gallo is part of the deal here - I'm totally okay with that. I was actually thinking Gallo and Dillon Tate would have been a nice carrot, then I heard we dealt Tate to the Yanks.

Cruzer 1,996 Posted August 1, 2016 Our lineup is going to look something like: Choo - RF Mazara - LF Desmond - CF Beltre - 3B Beltran - DH Moreland - 1B Andrus - SS Odor - 2B Lucroy - C Damn - that's what I'm talking about.. But we're still at the mercy of Colby Lewis and Holland - they have to get healthy or this offense isn't going to be enough come October...

I thought the Indians were the team to beat in the AL, but damn the Rangers are making a huge push... All going to depend on Perez and the back end of the rotation... But we don't have to have those guys go 7 innings. We are crazy stacked in the pen now: Bush, Kela, Diekman, Dyson and now Jeffress - all these guys bring it 97 and up. We just have to be able to get to them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Reading in addition to Jeffress, Rangers will be sending player to be named later. Really surprised that it wasn't Gallo, Crew has been looking for a long term 3rd baseman forever. Squeezed the last bit of talent out of Aramis Ramirez, so I thought this was a natural fit...a guy who likes to swing for the fences and strikes out a lot, it was like he was born to be a Brewer.

Man I'm shocked Gallo was not part of this deal too - or any other deal for that matter. I would have much rather given him up than Ortiz - that kid is going to be really good. But it is good to know we still have Gallo and Profar in the bank for ammo to make future trades in the offseason or next year.... Brinson is a phenomenal defensive CF - but his bat could use some work. He is a tall, lanky kid at about 6'3" and can run like a deer. He was our future in center before this.
