[Birdland in NC]

I hope Norby, Mayo, and Kjersted are traded for pitching, even if it’s prospects

Norby and maybe even Kjerstad,  sure.   Trading Mayo shouldn't considered really,  unless the return is something outlandish.

What is this constant obsession with pitching?   The team has the 3rd best ERA in the AL.

I think the obsession is that some players like Irvin, Suarez will come back to earth. What was our pitching rank last year before the postseason debacle? I think the eye test says we have a good rotation with a good bullpen. Nothing elite.

Did the Rangers have elite pitching last year?

I would cross #1 and #2 off the list because Elias won’t pay the price.   Crochet is the one, if he can stay healthy, looks like he could make the biggest difference come October but a lot can happen between now and then.   Are any of these other guys sure to be better than Kremer and Irvin the rest of the year?

I think Jordan Westburg has shown he’s the guy at 3rd.   Mayo is a great prospect but not sure there’s a place on the O’s

i would love to get Garrett Crochet.  I'm sure the price is pretty steep.  He is controlled thru 2026.

There is plenty of room if you include 1st base and the OF corners.  He may not stick at 3rd for various reasons,  but that bat will find him a spot somewhere.

Kjerstad hasn't proven he can play MLB OF yet.  I'm pretty sure he can hit MLB pitching, but he has to find a place too.

Would love to target Detmers.  He would be an excellent get.

Even DH if necessary.
