Should have signed Rich Hill.
CursedRangers
I wouldn’t mind seeing Lewis suit up one more time. The guy is a warrior

agreed

Yes
flyfisher64
Jorge DeLaRosa might be a good fit..
virginiascopist
Didn’t (Jorge) de la Rosa sign a minors deal with the Diamondbacks?
bravosfan4life
Yes he did

Surprised that Lewis is talked about as a potential signing rather than Fister. Lewis’ time has long past
davbee
Lewis was by far the most effective of the two in 2016.
Whos123
Did you even watch him pitch the first half of the year??
Robocop Is My Friend
Sorry, more testing.

Sorry Rangers. That’s what happens when you sign guys even the Padres didn’t want anymore.

The Rangers should give real thought to trading Darvish as a rental and then adding a few prospects to the return to get Quintana.
Given the age and shallowness of their rotation they could set themselves up for the next few years without giving up the chance to win this year.
woolcorp
This idea makes no sense
66TheNumberOfTheBest
They have one guy for 1 year and will (likely) lose him for nothing.
The other guy they could have for 4 years but the cost is sky high.
Instead of losing a guy for nothing and/or trading your whole farm system to get his replacement, you trade him for 60% of the package you trade for Quintana and only add a few of your own..
They would get 4 years of Quintana for a half a season of Darvish and a much smaller cost to their own farm system.
What doesn’t make sense is pretending like they are legit contenders with two aging pitchers atop their rotation and an infirmary behind them…unless this is a boom or bust year before a total tear down rebuild, which itself would make no sense.
coolpapaphil
Yeah but why would the ChiSox want Darvish for one year when they aren’t contending?!?!

The Rays are waiting for your phone call.
ChiSoxCity
Haha, good luck with that.

Signing either Lewis or Fister is only a stop gap at best. Still, I can see them going that route until/if the price on someone like Quintana comes down.
cxcx
I was going to so guys like Gee and Niese shouldn’t have signed minors deals, should have waited for situations like this to arise…then I see that Texas is the team that signed Gee. They should be fine…”losing” Cashner causes the seismic shift in their rotation from having lame 4 and 5 starters to having lame 4 and 5 starters…no story.

Call Lewis…
madmanTX
Could sign Fister and make the Astros upset again by him having a career year and winning a Cy Young award. Heh
SupremeZeus
Rangers season is at risk of being over before it begins. The tailpipe of the starting rotation is smoking badly.
lesterdnightfly
That tailpipe reference works well. The Rangers must “exhaust” all possibilities….
rangerfan23
Isn’t this how every ranger season starts ? With starting pitchers getting hurt. Rangers will be fine, Dillion gee will be a starter and Idk about nick Martinez or chi chi Gonzales yet, I say keep them in triple A. Maybe that rule 5 pick could be good Michael Hauschild. I gave up on aj griffin. I want the young talent to step up but I got a feeling they will be signing Colby Lewis soon
