    I would have thought we could have packaged Teoscar as a nice piece in a deal for someone better, guess not.

    I am shocked that Darvish might stay put. Really stupid by the Rangers. They are out of contention, have already sold other significant pieces, and Darvish is a pending free agent. Stupid.

    Time to watch the waiver wire to see who will become free.

    I mean it's not a bad trade . But I would have rather used Teoscar as part of a package for a bigger player .

    Hopefully liriano adds a tick or two on his fastball and can be a left handed devenski for us .

    Why did we have to include Aoki in the trade again?

    He would have been happy to sit on the bench if we wanted to play Fisher over him. It was his chance to be on a fun winning team.

    How does he sit on the bench without a roster spot?
