Oh fuck. Khris Davis already destroys us. Now he'll be hitting in Texas.

15 HR against the Angels this year.

No fear, Home Depot isn’t nearly as HR friendly as The Ballpark at Arlington was.

[Lou]

Horrible move by Texas.

This trade is more about the A’s

I think it makes both teams better.

This definitely makes the Rangers better.

How do you figure?   Davis hasn't done diddly the last two years.  OPS+ of 83 -- Andrus hasn't hit either the last couple years but at least he can play SS still..   Unless Acker becomes something they are just trading contracts.

They are making a run for the first pick of the draft.

Khris Davis since the beginning of 2019:

.217 BA .294/.374/.672

83 OPS+

2021 Salary = $16.75M

[CanadianHalo]

I’m guessing this also puts the Rangers into the mix for one of the big shortstops next offseason

Trevor Story is from the area.

This > Cobb.

Can we still sign Paxton and trade for Price?  If we could land both of those guys, and a prospect or two from LA, we would still have had an OK offseason. 

[Chuck]

Yes, closing for the Angels please. 

I would love to sign him to a 3-year deal to give us a closer beyond just this season.

We'd have 9 starting pitchers.

Damnit!

Aside from the money Texas trades their 32 yr old utility guy for the A’s 9th ranked prospect (according to MLBpipeline) and a pitching prospect.  Elvis gets a chance to start for a contender (maybe) rather than a bench role on a rebuilding team.  My guess is Texas is hoping some NL team needing a DH will take Davis off their hands.

I'd rather give up Jones to have Cobb over Fiers, even if it Cobb is making a little bit more.

Idgaf what anyone else says, I wish Victor was our GM.

It’s not just because of his knowledge of the Angels but his overall knowledge in general. I think there will come a day that the Angels are kicking themselves for letting Victor go elsewhere.
