Garza to Texas for CJ Edwards, Olt, Grimm & Neil Ramirez

[Little Slide Rooter]

TR Sullivan, a Rangers beat writer, says Perez won't be dealt for Garza.

 

Then claims all the Rangers would give up are a couple of 24 year old pitchers in AA.

 

If he's anything like our beat writers, he's probably wrong.

He's been on the DL in three consecutive seasons. That's got to be getting close to injury-pronishness.

In 2011, he went on the DL on May 24th with a elbow stiffness, pitched again on June 6th and didn't miss a start the rest of the season. He was healthy until July 21st the next season when he suffered the first major injury of his career. He then suffered a setback while rehabbing from that injury.

 

Dude pitched 75.2 minor league innings the year he was drafted. Followed by years of 185.2, 175, 188.1. At age 25, he pitched his first of three consecutive seasons of 198 innings or more. Finally, last year, he had his first major injury and missed significant time. If that's injury prone to you, it's okay with me. I wouldn't use that word.

Tom Loxas, who's been the source for much of Cubs Den's rumors on Garza:

 

 

Hearing Bos maybe caving on Cubs price but still may have Tex offer beat.

 

Garza could still go Tex but Cubs looking for Feliz.

 

AZ is third mystery team according to source.

 

The first tweet is a little difficult to parse, but after reading the follow up replies it might read better like "Boston may be balking at Cubs price, but even at lower offer may still have Texas' offer beat."

Feliz? Ew.

[Clem Fandango]

Feliz? Ew.

 

Ew?

[Elrhino]

Even coming off TJS, Cubs would have to be be throwing in Gregg or Sweeney or something to get Feliz for a 3 months rental of Garza.

Damn, thats risky, ala Vizcaino, but it'd be much better talent than I thought possible.

They can have both if we can get Feliz.

yeah this one:

RT @thekapman: just taped interview for @SportsTalkCHI w/ Bob Nightengale, said he believes Jurickson Profar is in play in Garza discussions

Hard to believe

They came from Kaplan :(

 

Besides, if that were true, the deal would be done already. The Cubs would have autocalled.

[davell]

I'm not even going to raise an eyebrow on that one. No way.

I dunno. Feliz is only 2 years from FA, coming off TJS and a mediocre stint as a starter.

More specifically, they came from Nightengale, so we can definitely say they're nonsense.

[rawaction]

Isn't "injury prone pitcher" an oxymoron?

 

I would go with redundant there.

Duh. Damn I'm stupid.

Nobody knows me around here to remember this, but I did ask last week about the chance of this happening and will look for full credit if somehow it does.

[Neuby]

Garza/ Russell/ Soriano for Profar and filler. Do we then immediately flip Barney?

[ctcf]

I think my immediate reaction would be to: 1.) [expletive] myself, and 2.) cry

 

That said, go home Bob Nightengale, you're drunk.

Bob Nightengale‏@BNightengale

Not sure how this got spun out of control from Show. The #Rangers would like Garza, and Profar is best trade chip, but no idea if any talks

 

Oh Kaplan...

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

The only way they get Profar is if they package Garza with Baez.

[KingCubsFan]

The only way they get Profar is if they package Garza with Baez.

I bet Theo and Jed would pull the trigger on that.

[Guest]

Profar? Oh what a dream that would be.

Sounded too good to be true.

[CubsWin]

Matt Barnes and Brandon Workman from the Red Sox please.

[SABR Gamer]

For some reason, I dreamt that the Cubs got Gerrit Cole for Garza last night. Waking up was such a buzz kill.
