They got Santiago, not Quintana. Quintana/Skaggs would have been crazy good, but as it stands, this is still a very good return for a player of Trumbo's caliber

Lol ohhh my mistake. 

Sorry to disappoint!

Coming from an outside perspective. As a Rangers fan, I see this trade as a big win for you guys. You needed pitching and you just added 2 SP's that are young and under team control. Both Skaggs and Quintana are talented and have the chance to significantly upgrade your rotation. Trumbo is overrated. 

think some people in here need to step away from the keyboard for a while. you guys are starting to sound a lot like Cowboys fans!

nah keep him!

Still having Freese nightmares i see.

Haha nah. The fact that he's breaking down and sucks now is good enough for me. Past is the past

Lol

Yikes

Katie Hamilton will pray and fast for a winning streak

Hopefully he doesn't end up in AA and I'm not talking about the Arkansas Travelers

God told him to run to 3rd. 

Sorry can't resist.

do you guys think that DiPoto could be in danger after the season if things don't turn around for you?

just curious

"He has played an important role in the success over the last few years"

 

pretty sure you didn't

 

btw, that was directed at YB, also

I meant more so philosophically, but whatever. 

Also, I apologize. 

but flute said he's just a figurehead

 

hmmmm, who to believe?

Pretty sure I just said the exact same thing

Nolan has been great for the Rangers. Everyone knows that. He has played an important role in the success over the last few years, however not the most important. JD and his staff (Levine, Preller, Boyd, others) have been the complete brains behind this thing. Nolan has served as an identity for the franchise. Mostly among the pitching staff. 

Fact is, Nolan wasn't always going to be the face of the front office. Change has to happen sometimes. Whether it's friendly or not is another story. I for one hope it is, because that's what Nolan deserves. BUT, I am not against him moving out of the way so that Texas can keep the young, bright minds that have been the driving force behind this run.
