Rangers selling farm and going all in. Gonna be sweet when Astros knock them off.

The Ranger #4 and #6 prospects have been pulled or scratched from their minor league lineups. The prospect cost will be dependent on how much salary Cohen is willing to eat.

I wonder if JV is presenting different conditions for the teams trying to trade for him:

Astros: “I’m good, maybe gimme a $50k trade bonus.”

Dodgers: “My vesting option becomes a player option.”

Cincy: “My vesting option becomes a player option and I get a $40M 4th year player option added.”

Rangers trade 2 top 10 org prospects and get Scherzer, Astros trade a top 5 org prospect and get a bullpen arm? 
 

seems like we got the worst of those two trades.

Maybe. Maybe the Yets just didn’t like the players the Astros were willing to give up, but still. 
 

We need a starter in the worst way.

 

ETA: need a couple middle relief guys as well, but starters are almost always more important in my mind.

If you're going by MLB pipeline they haven't updated their prospect list since the beginning of the season.

Who's supposed to be going to the Mets?  I still haven't seen anyone report any names, just speculation.

Acuna's little brother is one of them apparently. Brock Porter got pulled from his game today in the third inning.

Fair enough. The articles I read stated he was.

Lee wasn't a top 5 prospect in the organization anymore. More like bottom of the Top 20.
