Bernard Middlebrook
he traded a relief pitcher with a 5.50 ERA who had no pitch to get LH hitters out. Not exactly “hot” to get him. Call him Morales insurance. Sea knew Boras wouldn’t come down in price til Feb..
Lefebvre Believer
Crazy thought here, give Kyle Seager in a deal for Gomez, move Nick Franklin to 3B.
Ron Loreski 2
Thats what Toronto did with Mike Napoli, remember?
C. A. Hevia
Sounds like Matt Garza is trying to save face.

Yeah he should put up pretty good numbers in the Ballpark.

Seems to me if they get Cruz back Moreland will get traded while there is decent interest for him.

The Rangers would forfeit a pick to bring back Cruz, if Cruz signs somewhere other than Texas they would receive the 31st pick, if they bring him back they would lose it.

The Rangers are not going after Morales, they will not give up another pick!
Daniel Morairity
you dont know that dude the rangers are going to trade moreland to the pirates and morales is coming to texas and jd said that the rangers need more offense so please dont tell the future
Ben-Dessa Anderton
I’d caution moving Moreland. However, it all depends on the market for him.

Third in four years, actually. Don’t forget Cliff Lee.

To be fair, when your team wins 90+ games year after year, the team in question has their #1 draft picks at the end of the round (if at all). The exception being a comp pick from a team that lost 90+ games the year before. According to studies, about 1 in 5 first round draft picks in the latter half of the first round even become successful major leaguers. Mike Trout was lightning in a bottle, not just for his talent but the fact he was picked near the end of the first round. What are the odds? The farm system was depleting no matter what — and was already so by 2010 — before they even made all those trades.

Have fun with Hart in right field…. Brewer fan here, he was alright out there….2 knee surgeries and 3 years ago. Maybe play him there in a pinch

Garza did the right thing, and I am sure his wife is just fine with him making 11+ million this year.
