MLB.com: Rangers are interested in Arencibia and d'Arnaud

[CapeCrusader]

I think Andrus is the guy they move.

[number15]

or lets just make it simple...... Arencibia for Holland.


just sign the papers. Rangers get their catcher long term and Jays get their #2 pitcher..... easy deal

D'Arnaud, Escobar, Gose + Mid tier prospect for Profar

[augustine]

I worry about darnaud's injury history, it is quite extensive for a C. Dont rush to replace jpa.

I would try to do JPA for Andrus. Doubt Texas would though.

That would be nice, but I doubt Texas does that without Toronto sweetening the pot. Andrus has consistently got on base at a ~35% clip in his career, which is exactly what this team needs right now. He'd fit very nicely at the top of the lineup. He's also only 24 and getting better, which could make AA more willing to make a long-term commitment.

Of course, if you think Escobar will be put last year's atrocious season behind him, acquiring Andrus makes less sense as Escobar's offensive ceciling is probably higher.

I'd prefer to keep d'Arnaud. He projects to be better than Arencibia in every facet of the game, except perhaps the power department.

[Randle McMurphy]

It wasn't too long ago that top prospects like Snider and Drabek projected to be very good MLB players too. Their value is virtually nothing now for a myriad of reasons (and one isn't even with the organization anymore). Be careful not to overrate prospects. If there is a good deal out there to be made with TDA, get it done.

D'Arnaud, Escobar, Gose + Mid tier prospect for Profar

Not sure if serious.

Why not? Profar is the best prospect in all of baseball. Escobar value is low, I still think Gose is meh (I like Marisnick better) and D'Arnaud is injury prone, trade him why he has top value.

[Skin Blues]

I wouldn't have a problem trading d'Arnaud for Profar straight up at all. In fact, I'd be very surprised if the Rangers did that. That kid is going to be a stud.

same, but I would try to get them to Take JPA++ for Profar.

Of course you would, we all would. But that ain't happening. I highly doubt they'd accept d'Arnaud++ for Profar.

As for Andrus, I wouldn't get carried away with trade ideas for him. Sure, I'd give JPA for him, but it's not like we need a SS, and he only has 2 cost controlled years remaining. Profar is much more appealing.

[number15]

heres an interesting one for yah...


D'Arnaud, Syndergaard, Gose.... for Profar, Holland

would Texas accept this? hhhmmmmm
