Gonna watch MLBN for a bit tonight. Wonder if they talk to any of the Braves staff or coaches.

According to major league sources, Braves officials gathered Monday for a hastily-arranged strategy session to scour the Rangers farm system. The clubs were scheduled to talk later Monday.Originally Posted by CrimsonCowboy
That's encouraging.

#Mariners continue to ponder wide range of possibilities for OF bat, including trades. At this point, not locked in on Melky.

Holy crap Gattis would hit 40 home runs in Texas. Profar for Gattis straight up!

"How’s this for creative: The Rangers and Atlanta Braves may be discussing a deal for a power bat, but it’s not Justin Upton.
Instead it may be Forney’s Evan Gattis, who was believed to be off the market as the meetings began.

#Braves not eager to trade Gattis, but #Rangers could offer multi prospects from among P's Alex Gonzalez, Jake Thompson, OF Nomar Mazara etc

CC, sorry to move your posts but it was better served in this thread.

This could be interesting. IF you could flip Gattis for some long term pieces that you're comfortable will contribute in a year or two you could justify giving a big contract to Justin. This might work out perfectly.

Not a problem

If they trade Gattis, I don't see them trading JUpton unless they're blown away. You have to have some power in that lineup.
I love Gattis but i worry about his health long-term.
If we could get 2-3 top prospects from Texas, i'd do it and try to extend Justin.
FIFY
....Get it done.

I just had a front office person tell me, "Don't count out the #yankees with Jon Lester.'' Scout hearing the same thing.

Shocker.

Don't know much about the Rangers farm system, but after looking these guys up, I'll have to admit they are fairly impressive. Need to get a young OF and maybe Mazara would be a good target.
They'd have to have some hitting in the line-up period.
I am not really impressed by the Rangers pitching prospects, give me Mazara and one of the middle infielders and I would be happy.
