BREAKING: Rangers Made HUGE Trade with Nationals.. But Gave Up TOO MUCH??
Earlier today, a deal happened where the Washington Nationals sent All-Star left-handed starting pitcher MacKenzie Gore (originally acquired from the San Diego Padres in the 2022 Juan Soto blockbuster) to the Texas Rangers in exchange for a package of five prospects headlined by 2025 first-round pick infielder Gavin Fien, along with RHP Alejandro Rosario, IF Devin Fitz-Gerald, OF Yeremy Cabrera, and 1B Abimelec Ortiz. This move bolsters the Rangers’ rotation with a young, controllable high-upside arm (under team control through 2027) while kickstarting a deeper rebuild for the Nationals under new leadership, netting them a haul of promising young talent in return.

I wouldn't say Texas got fleeced, none of these guys were in the top 100 and Texas has a bottom tier farm. and Texas kept their main prospects in Walcott and Scarborough,
I think the rangers thought they were talking to the tigers for skubal š
Gavin Fien has less than 50 ABs in his minor league career
Rosario is good but hasnāt pitched a full season in 2 years
Fitz-Gerald and Cabrera have both only made it to high a
Ortiz has been in the organization for almost 5 years and hasnāt done a whole lot
Seems like a lot on paper but our farm system isnāt even that good. We just added a lefty with all star potential to a rotation that has 2 perennial cy young contenders for a guy who hasnāt done much as a pro and a bunch of wait and see
We also have skip who got great performances out of a bunch of garbage in Miami
@Fuzzy Abimelec is pronounced (Ahh-Bee-Meh-Lek). Hope that helps!
Now, for the big question….we know that one or two of these pitchers either signed or traded for is going down for Tommy John surgery. My money is on Gore. I hope and pray that none go down but history is not nice.
AS A DYING RANGERS FAN LETS GOOOO
we cant develop prospects so i love this trade
Just because teams give up a handful of players for 1 doesn't mean fleeced.
Ok Braves letās do something
Rangers won the deal
Weston Wilson to the o's?
Wow Iām shocked that the rangers gave up Gavin Fein
Rangers are pretty good about fixing pitchers, Gore might be in perfectly good hands.
Can't wait for my hometown adjacent goes 0-162
Iām a rangers fan and i hope we keep adding players the most 3 players i hope we get is luis arrez, michael conforto, engenio suarez
Sucks, Yankees fan here and was hoping to get Goreš
But no way the Yankees would have given up this much!
Nah the rangers are not going to regret this trade. With a real analytics team gore is gonna level up with the rangers
As a rangers fan, letās not forget that thereās no guarantee that prospects pan out. 5 sounds like a lot but what are the odds that all 5 of them become All stars?
Rangers won the trade. They didnāt give up a prospect in the top 100
Both Ryan and Jordan Zimmerman are both first ballot candidates for the HOF in 2027. I don't think the Nationals have their own HOF yet
Out of those 5 prospects, the only one who could reasonably make an MLB debut before 2027 with the Rangers was Ortiz, and a lot would need to go wrong for that to happen. Everyone else has other prospects in line ahead of them at their positions or just wonāt be ready soon.
Itās fair to say at the outset that both teams āwonā today. Rangersā pitching staff can work on an all-star pitcher and the Nats get more talent to play with in their rebuild
Rangers for sureā¦Ortiz 24 and barely seen triple A
Fien is the big piece in this trade and he probably wonāt see the majors for 4/5 years
Youāre underestimating Goreā¦by a LOT.
METS' fan here. I sure miss BRANDON NIMMO. I HOPE HE HAS AN MVP TYPE SEASON.
Rangers fan here, we finna be 1st in pitching 30th in hitting š
The Fuzzy curse continues lol
None of the haul is top 100 and we canāt developš¢
Fleeced? Time will tell but Texas needs their core to stay healthy if they want to get off the ground.
Itās not really a fleece I thought so at first but I think he will be better pitching in globe life field
Fuzzy!! Would you ever consider bringing back the immaculate grid to the recaps? Love the vids bro
AJ traded are whole farm system away. iam a padre fan. This reminds me of a AJ move .AJ is the Padres Gm. Padres ranked last in the MLB farm system. Texas better be careful.
I'm a Rangers fan and am happy with this trade.
