It's July 28 and all is quiet on the Texas Rangers trade front.The Rangers dropped their second in a row last night to the Minnesota Twins, who absolutely perplex the Rangers for whatever reason. They turn into Murderers Row. It's unbelievable. No worries. Can take the split today.
Despite three days being left in the trade season, the Rangers are rather quiet. Here's what or what is not cooking.
Ubaldo Jimenez
There are still talks. The Rangers are not a part of him. I don't know if the Rangers need a starting pitcher. But if you get a shot at getting a guy of Jimenez' caliber, you do it. I think.
Heath Bell
His name is getting hotter after the flurry of big deals yesterday. I just don't think anyone wants to overpay for an apparent rental. Jon Heyman's reporting that Bell wants to go to St. Louis. If the Rangers get him, it'll be another Cliff Lee situation where he's probably walking in the off-season. Also, if Bell comes on, who is your closer?
Carlos Beltran
Beltran wound up going to San Francisco, a deal that included Zach Wheeler going to the New York Mets. If everyone's evaluation of Wheeler is correct, it'd be like the Rangers sending Martin Perez. Heyman reported that the Rangers offered a package of "OK" prospects. I don't know what that means. I assume it was quantity over quality. The Mets got quality from the Giants.
Hunter Pence-B.J. Upton
Not that I expect the Rangers to be tied to either, but considering their ties to Beltran it seems a tad ... surprising. Of course, it floored me that they were on Beltran. Both are corner outfielders. Upton's a bit of a mystery. Pence is really good. I get the feeling that both the Rays and Astros are dying to trade either.
