Rangers Shopping Derek Holland

If TX wants Morneau and a Kepler level prospect, I'm hoping JR pulls the trigger

[ScottyB]

Even if Texas signs a starter why would Texas be trading SP/ Feldman, Oswalt, and Dempster are off the rotation, Holland becomes your 4th starter, Lewis your fifth. A prospect can take over when the summer heat becomes too much for one of them.

 

Yea - with Feliz and Lewis out until at least June, maybe we better set this aside until the trade deadline, even if they sign Grienke AND Sanchez.

Oh man, I dont know about trading Kepler. Scouts are raving about him, and I like him alot.

[Twins Twerp]

What about Hicks and Morneau? I think that is what they would ask for, not that I would pull the trigger on that deal. Maybe a throw-in from Texas like Olt or Profar...I like to kid around...but Hicks for Morneau what do you think?

Hicks and Morneau.....HELL NO

[kab21]

I would without a doubt trade Hicks and Morneau for Holland even if his contract wasn't so team friendly. The Twins need to address the future that Morneau isn't part of and Hicks is a nice prospect but he hasn't done anything yet and the Twins have tons of OF'ers. Holland still needs to take the step from solid starter to well above average but I'm a big Holland fan if he can get out of Texas.

Texas is contending. They might want to fill ml needs more than they would want to get prospects

naww, flip

red sox : perkins, hicks, doizer, salcedo

As much as I would like this trade....I dont think the Red Sox would do it.

[CC7]

i feel like they would

[Brandon]

the rangers have a a few fa next year in Young and Nelson cruz. they can let them go and save money if they have players ready to step in and play. who does that amount to one of our OF prospects and Burton and someone else Herman????

I dont think they would. That would be selling awfully low. I think they might trade those guys....just not this offseason, and give them time to rebound after down years last year and trade them at the trade deadline.

perkins and hicks for elsburry

kepler, low level prospect and casey fine for lester

 

Deal?

Hicks is months away and fills a need cheaply while Morneau fills a need. I wouldn't do it if I was Texas though but I disagree with the HELL NO comment. Holland is exactly what this team needs but I don't think the Twins have the right stuff to pull off the trade now that Span is gone.

[diehardtwinsfan]

Holland pitched like an ace in the minors but hasn't done a whole lot in 3 ML seasons... I wouldn't mind aquiring him, but he's also about to get expensive and could in theory be gone when the new core of hitters is arriving...

[kab21]

The fact that he's struggled is the only reason that he's remotely available.

 

Home ERA - 5.34

Road ERA - 4.08

 

In what world is the following expensive and how will he be gone when the hitters are arriving? I hope the new hitters arrive in the next 6 years.

3.2M

5.4M

7.4M

10M

11M option

11.5M option
