Bronson is now their No.2 and RP Mike Adams their closer. I think there's a good chance the Rangers make the playoffs this year, but this trade will hurt them down the road.It'll be interesting to see how they make out the rest of the year.

I wouldve blocked this.

Yep...that was an absolute steal for the Reds...Arroyo is at best a 3rd starter on any decent team....The Reds are set for years to come with scheppers and perez..not to mention feliz who gives the reds their close for their future

Ill have to see who the Reds got in deals I allowed, but so far theyve unloaded:

Scott Rolen
Brandon Phillips
Bronson Arroyo
Johnny Gomes
Francisco Cordero
Ramon Hernandez

Theyve tried to move Johnny Cueto, Edinson Volquez, & Drew Stubbs but I block it everytime.

OSFM rosters on SportsConnect, theyre may be several versions by now though.

Just to add, both Adams and Feliz were A overall relievers at the time. Arroyo and Perez were both B overalls, and Scheppers was a C overall. Both Scheppers and Perez weren't on the 40, and the Game AI trade logic tends to think of players not on 40 as expendable. A lot will depend on whether the acquisition of Arroyo leads to the Rangers making the playoffs/World Series.I'll let you all know how the Rangers make out the rest of the season.BTW, Arroyo was my no.1 before the trade.

I had training on at the time. I think that tends to make the trade logic a little wonky. Seen some more questionable trades since and I think I'll restart the franchise.

Question...
Would you guys get nuts and want to throw away your franchise if this trade went through?

Player A 28 y.o(position player)........ 8 years in the league and a career .294 hitter so far......4 years removed from an MVP season with his last 4 years(present to back 4)... .299/.304/.321/.344...not much power but excellent OBP and a tremendous fielder. A potential ...perennial All-Star
for
Player B 24 y.o(relief pitcher)........4 years in the league....(present to back 4)....3-7 3.04 ERA/1.469 WHIP...7-6 2.94 ERA/1.350 WHIP...7-10 3.70 ERA/1.305 WHIP....6-10 3.55 ERA/1.485 WHIP B potential(being kind)..****n of the mill MR
