Hamels reportedly traded to the Cubs

rumor? Can't find anything about it.

My fingers are crossed although I�m sure we won�t get squat and are basically paying them to take him!

Bet he wishes he hadn�t blocked that trade to the Astros.

"#Cubs moving toward a Cole Hamels deal that would be centered around lower-level minor-league prospects and salary relief for #Rangers."

Really wish he could have held it together here and the team was a lot better. He and his wife seem like great people. Wish him the best.

These Rangers owners are milking this thing. They will not show their faces.

ESPN says "several low minor league prospects".

They will probably sell and double their money as soon as the new stadium is built.

That�s the way it looks to me. Spend some money. Get the city to buy you a stadium. Now, put spending on hold, and actually seek salary relief. They�re screwing Arlington.

yes they are. Daniels gets the blame for them cutting the purse strings. They have kept saying there are too many needs for this year then they say it the next year. Well it might be true but go get a big name outfielder, some solid pitching both tarting and pen.

I know that makes it sound like you can just go buy a title and be done with it. Yes it take more than that and for sure in baseball you much grown some of your own talents.

Rangers are playing the team that they should try and copy. Commit money and playing time towards players who play defense and get on base. Simple as that.
Brocail and anyone invovled with pitching theory need to be let go as well.
Pretty pathetic product on the field right now. Im glad they get to play the A's so I can watch some good baseball

Hit the road jack....

Well Bye!!!!

Only my opinion and I don't follow closely, but it seems like the Rangers have been an ever increasing dumpster fire ever since they put Jon Daniels in charge after the "power struggle" and loss of Nolan Ryan. Look where the Astros are now! Not saying that Ryan put the Astros into the World Series but sometimes, luck does help. I'd much rather be in the Astros cleats than the Rangers right now. It almost appears like he was hired to gut the Rangers and put them back into mediocre status like they've been for decades before their World Series runs a few years ago. Of course, no GM would intentionally do this but appearances from the outside look strange. Seems like there's no end in sight either.
