I'm really fond of the Rangers, fukk the halos.

soxwin · 07-09-10, 04:25 PM

The Mariners pulled out of a deal w/yankees when Adams failed a physical on his ankle.

soxwin · 07-09-10, 04:36 PM

righty blake bevin Bevin is 29-19 w/3.19 ERA in the Minors. 6 foot 7 1st rd pick for texas in 2007,

righty josh Luke, 2B/OF matt Lawson, are the 3 prospects that are going from Texas to seattle

Pauulzcappin · 07-09-10, 04:37 PM

I'd only go for that if Lee would sign an extension right away...

Snowball · 07-09-10, 04:39 PM

looks good for Yankee bet tonight.

Cliff Lee: Rangers get Lee from Mariners for Smoak

Cliff Lee - S - SEA - Jul. 9 - 5:29 pm et Along with Justin Smoak, the Mariners will reportedly acquire RHP Blake Beavan, RHP Josh Lueke and 2B Matt Lawson from the Rangers for Cliff Lee and Mark Lowe.
That's not so bad for Texas. Smoak is a big loss, but they'll hold on to the rest of their top prospects in the deal. Beaven has a chance to be a part of a major league rotation, but Lueke is just a relief prospect and Lawson is a long shot to enjoy a career as a major league infielder. The trade is set to be announced at 6 p.m. EDT. It's believed that the Mariners are paying $2.5 million of the $4 million that Lee is owed. Jul. 9 - 5:29 pm et

Loving me some Cliff Lee in Texas!!!!!!

The Rangers have never won a playoff series. Now they have a horse that should win them 2 games of the 4 needed to win a series.

Fantastic!!

BestPlay2day · 07-09-10, 05:58 PM

As a Twins fan, I am disappointed. Twins really need a #1 starter to get out of this bad streak.

constrictor · 07-09-10, 05:58 PM

never heard of justin smoak

tofuman · 07-09-10, 05:58 PM

yes my bet was cancelled

Mybologne · 07-09-10, 11:08 PM

tkim8404 · 07-09-10, 11:31 PM

I wonder if Texas is goin to dominate tomorrow then?

sharper2 · 07-09-10, 11:35 PM

What's the line for tomorrows game? ML and RL?

drfunkmaster · 07-09-10, 11:40 PM

The former Cy Young award winner appeared close to landing with the Yankees earlier in the day on Friday, but a package including young first baseman Justin Smoak appears to have sent him to Arlington where the Rangers now have to be considered the favorites to win the AL West. Lee is scheduled to make his first start with the Rangers on Saturday.

Jericholic · 07-09-10, 11:52 PM

I was really hoping the Twins would be able to land him.

Cubs4591 · 07-09-10, 11:54 PM

Wow Rangers are for real now!

phLLyphan11 · 07-09-10, 11:57 PM

I am just so glad he didn't go to New York. Season would have been over if he did. No way anyone would have been able to touch the Yanks.

pittmatt80 · 07-10-10, 01:23 AM

Looks like a good deal for Texas, helps strengthen their pitching staff moving into the middle of the season. Hopefully they can keep their momentum going. Good Luck to All
