One hour left .. any final moves ?

[Ronnie Dobbs]

Passan says Maton to Rangers is done. No word on return yet.

[Strummer Jones]

Ken Rosenthal saying that the Rangers are trying to make a deal for Maton, so I guess that's the last one. Assuming they can agree, which I have to think they will, being he didn't travel with the team and all.

Wonder what sort of pitching the Rangers have in the minors that we would want.....

If Helsley didn't being much, I have to doubt Maton will bring anything more.

Rosenthal now says they are "Close"

edit...whoops


we get 2 Minor League Prospects....Deal is done

Passan confirms it.

Rangers prospects don't seem to exactly turn into stars for us...

[VegasVinny]

Edit: Gonna throw my dart at Paulino Santana Izack Tiger being one of them. Seems like a guy whose stuff the FO has been seeking.

[Ronnie Dobbs]

Oh okay, Katie Woo saying for 2 minor league pitches.

He is a nice short-term rental, so we are not getting anyone fabulous. Should know soon. Figured it would be pitching.

Maybe we'll get lucky and they'll be AA pitchers.

Yes, because all the AAA pitchers are going to be on the big club!

Interesting the Brewers weren’t active.

Again, anything you can get for Maton is a positive. I don't care how old they are or where they play in the minors. We sign him for $2.5 million, he had a career year, and we're never going to extend him.

why weren't we - who will replace him next year, and the year after?

He's not expensive.

Because he's 32, he just had a career year, and relievers are notoriously volatile.

Rangers send LHP Mason Molina, RHP Skyler Hales & 250K in Int'l slot money

27th and 28th ranked Rangers prospects.

Not good enough.
