    Watch him return to form in Arlington. I wish him the best, he was one of my favorite astros simply because of the attitude and flavor he played with

    wish him the best, fine.. but a favorite astro? In 1 full season of 85% garbage play? I question your judgment

    Wouldn't be surprised if he played well regardless of which team. The fact it's DAL is just an added spit in the face after the slap to it.

    So he's probably gonna turn into a 'decent' player like the Astros thought they were getting?

    GREAAAAT!

    Now the Rangers get to waste a roster spot on GoGo. Let their losing streak begin.

    I think the Rangers are just trolling now. Expect them to pick up Danry Vasquez too.

    Is there ANY CHANCE AT ALL that he doesn't just tear it up for the Rangers? He couldn't have looked any more washed up in Houston, but I think every single person alive probably knows how this will end.

    The difference is if Gomez doesn't perform their manager won't keep trotting his sorry ass back out there on a daily basis.

    He continued to trot Desmond out there when he had a .229 avg and .605 OPS the first six weeks of the season

    There's no doubt that the Rangers are completely trolling. No chance they sign Gomez if he was cut by any other team. **** those guys and if he even shows a sliver of what he was supposed to be when we signed him, he can **** himself as well.

    Gomez is a walking curse. Look at how Bregman Reed and Teoscar are doing with him gone.

    Thanks Carlos!

    And yes Dallas has some serious little brother syndrome going on. First trading for Hamels and Lucroy after we had better offers for trades that the players vetoed because they were racist. Now Gomez. And all this on top of signing Chandler Parsons for $45M and giving him a player option! Whatevs

    Funny how the Rangers who are the best team in the AL are trolling everything the Astros cut or DFA. From getting Duffy, DeShields, going after Hammel, now pickng up Gomez.

    If anything, Gomez is still a capable elite defensive CF player.
