Rangers / Red Sox (Approved 3-0) Feb 14, 2017 14:29:31 GMT -6

Post by Rangers GM (Pete) on Feb 14, 2017 14:29:31 GMT -6

Rangers and Red Sox have agreed on the following:

Rangers send
SP Jerad Eickhoff - $300,000 (2020)
SP Tyler Skaggs $300,000 (2018)

in exchange

Red Sox send
SP Anderson Espinoza minors
2017 2nd round draft pick

I am giving up two solid, cheap SPs with rotation spots. I like them both but neither is spectacular in my mind, what I get in exchange, hopefully is a future ace in Espinoza. A lot can happen with young pitchers, so there is some risk here. The second round pick helps even it out for me. Major league SPs were an area of depth for me, so an ongoing effort to stay competitive now and get younger for the future.
thanks
Pete

Seems a little light for two MLB arms. Espinoza could be great, hopefully he is. But if Espinoza doesn't hit his ceiling, he might be exactly what Eickhoff is right now. A solid SP3 at least. But given the SP depth on Rangers I think the gamble is ok. The luster has worn off on Skaggs so it's basically Espinosa+pick for Eickhoff which seems about right, and if Skaggs had to be thrown in to make it work I'm ok with that.

rock30 (Cardinals GM): Rangers to answer your question of #8, no we will not be using WP’s if rule is stated as such in 1TC, another league some of us are in. Myself, Joey, Yankees, not sure of anyone else in here. Dec 8, 2022 13:16:25 GMT -6

rock30 (Cardinals GM): As for the player being designated with an IR on Fantrax, the answer is no. We will have to provide a link stating that player is out for a week or even out for the rest of the season. Dec 8, 2022 13:19:22 GMT -6

Rangers GM (Pete): I didn't think of it until now, maybe a shorter resign should cost more annually since the commitment and risk is less. Which is usually true in real life. Just a thought to consider next time we review rules. Feb 5, 2023 12:43:38 GMT -6

Rockies GM (Joey): I don't see us changing re-sign rule but sure it can be discussed. We use a calculator for re-signs all we have to do is input the fantrax scores for salary. Feb 9, 2023 21:04:57 GMT -6 *
