No way Britton would clear Waivers, right?

No. Smith may, Castillo for sure.

Then you are getting a fake account. Come on man lol.

It's not really funny. I fell for that damn crap. Maybe that's how he gets his fun but it makes me mad.

The fact that Hand, Darvish, and Britton went nowhere should tell you that teams weren't offering a ton.

Joe Smith got next to nothing either.  Looks like no one made the big move like last year.

It appears DD did nothing of significance which means he and or the ownership think they are contenders. I can understand not selling low on Britton (I don't know what they were being offered), but not moving Brach, Smith, Castillo or O'day (if he could) is inexcusable.

Smith and Castillo can still be traded in August.   Brach and O'Day will stay.

Unless you think O'Day is completely washed up (his stuff looks same, location off at the moment), you'd be selling way low on him.

Disappointing, I guess they will "go for it" next year with the solid bullpen intact and one more year of Manny.

 

If I were a Rangers fan I would be annoyed that they didn't get anything for Darvish who will be a free agent at the end of this year.

No, you just made it up for whatever reason. You are on vacation until the end of the week. Knowingly putting out false information is against our ToS.

I saw the same tweet under the handle kenn_rosenthal.  That account is now suspended.  Probably because he's impersonating the real Ken Rosenthal.
