Kinsler is like the Eppleriest deal possible. Feels inevitable. 

Kinsler, Moose, and pen help feels like the likeliest scenario. 

Kinsler, Moose, Ohtani, Upton, and reliever(s) would be one hell of an offseason.

Oh man!! What is Billy doing, most of the relivers are getting signed, let's least get one of either Reed or McGee or both .

So far I'm 0/3 on my reliever choice):....

After last season, I'll defer to Billy. I would have loved to see Reed here but Billy knows best.

[Vlad27Trout27]

Trust the process, trust Billy, let him turn a no name into something good in the bullpen!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was hoping we were going to be in in Shaw like, but not for 27m

[totdprods]

https://mobile.twitter.com/MattGelb/status/940755801848807424 no deal with Reed and Phillies. They're closing in on Hunter.

I honestly hope this does not happen. Anyone know if Greinke has a no trade?  

[CanadianHalo]

Ive soured on the idea of Hernandez. If we’re trading away a “haul” let’s get someone even better 

[Cdaniel]

What’s the expected contract for Reed?

I totally agree with this! I despise Kinsler, but he and Harrison also kipnis could do a great job on this team. I think we need to stay away from the word "haul" as a team 

[Angelsfirst]

Kinsler was on my all-douchebag team, but other than that he can go f*#k himself.

Bob Nightengale of USA Today reported there is no buyout in the deal. Heyman reported on Dec. 6 that Greinke also received a limited no-trade clause in the contract but added that "he also gets $2M if traded (one time)."

I hope the rangers are on this limited no trade

Oh I totally agree! But this dude is a gamer no matter how much we all hate him. He goes and plays hard 

[totdprods]

I still think this happens, maybe tonight.

Confirming @Sullivan_Ranger report on #Rangers' interest in Zack Greinke. The Rangers would need the deal with Arizona to include Shin-Soo Choo and the $63 million he's owed the next three seasons to offset the $138.5 million owed to Greinke the next four.

1st reaction is that’s a good deal for Texas, what are your thoughts?

Not worried.  Based on Billy's ability to find relievers, the Angels will be fine.

No thanks.  Texas can have him. I guess they didn't learn anything from the Fielder contract.

Grab Kinsler and keep an open mind with him playing 3rd or 2nd moving forward.

If we have a better opportunity to grab a 2nd basemen after move Kinsler to 3rd vice versa.

Anytime Texas gets quality pitching it's worrisome, because any hitter they land gets a boost in that ballpark. Even with Greinke taking a hit in that park it comes out a win for them. And to shed Choo in process? Lame. Could be a great trade for them.
