CF Howard Bartelot

Looking for a lefty starting pitcher, or a good defensive catcher with some pop in his bat. Let me know.

Adding 3B Jose Juarez to the block. Here is his profile.

I'm in the market for a lefty bat right now, specifically in the outfield, but I'd look at infield guys too. Everyone in my organization I'm open to trading except for Will Davis and Tofts.

What fun is that?

Some guys I'm really looking to move:

SP Mal Krause (http://ootp.traditionsportsonline.com/the_dugout/reports/html/players/player_28184.html)
MR Ruben Mejia (http://ootp.traditionsportsonline.com/the_dugout/reports/html/players/player_36622.html)

If anyone has room for a contract or two I can unload on them, that'd be awesome

These two guys being the main culprits

CF Byron Buxton (http://ootp.traditionsportsonline.com/the_dugout/reports/html/players/player_37034.html)
3B/LF Christopher Hawkins (http://ootp.traditionsportsonline.com/the_dugout/reports/html/players/player_33959.html

Also on the block: RF Gonzalo Oritz. Would probably start on half of the teams in the MLB. Has a great contract too.

My C Vargas is still on the block, I'll give him away for virtually nothing if anyone needs a backup or platoon vs lefties bat.

OP updated to reflect everything in one post. Krause is out for 3 weeks with a minor injury but he'll be ready before the trade deadline.

Updated the OP. Added 3B Jose Juarez and posted a few notes.

Krause, Ortiz and Juarez are all going to be dealt by Sunday's sim and I have inquiries on all three of them so get your last minute offers in this weekend!

SS "Cocoa" Bruno is on the block. Lets shake things up with a blockbuster deal.

I have so many outfielders right now so I'll trade any of em except for Thom Abrams and Vern Gates. I'll take pretty much any other position in return, preferably specs.

OP updated. I'd be willing to trade any of my outfielders not named Gates or Abrams, so take a look at any of em you'd want and shoot me an offer this offseason.

OP updated. looking for SP specs or players under 25 or so in return for most of those players.

Looking for a good ML pitcher that isn't over 30...Also would trade for a SP spec that is close to being ready. I have a lot of specs/ML talent available so let me know. The OP is up to date as well.

Go look at Walt Garrett and Ken Jones and see if you like either one of those

With Andy Tofts going down for 7 months, my 4th or 5th starter going down for 7 months, and a talented SP spec going down for 12, the Rangers need an influx of even more pitching talent badly. So I'm gonna put C Bill Buschorn on the block this offseason to see what we can get for him (SPs or CLOSE TO READY SP specs only)

OP updated for 2030.

Bring back Vern Gates!

I'm sure most if not all of that negative is from playing the field...

Or maybe that .259 OBP.

Would be willing to move pretty much any spec in my system. Looking for a #3 - #5 SP to fill out my rotation, preferably a lefty.

OP Updated. Rangers lookin to move some big pieces.
