    I wouldn't mind walking away from the reliever market with Addison Reed (and maybe Jerry Blevins, but that is my speculation) if it meant coming away with Darvish too. Blevins is a fairly significant upgrade on Avilan vs LHH, and Reed has a lower FIP than Baez, higher K/9, lower BB/9 and about the same HR rate. Reed and Blevins should be cheaper than Madson & Doolittle were, because Reed is just a rental and Blevins has a $7M team option.

    There’s a belief among some rival evaluators that the Rangers will trade ace Yu Darvish by the July 31 deadline if they don’t believe they’ll be able to re-sign the impending free agent, reports Buster Olney of ESPN.com. With Texas unsure of whether it’ll be able to retain Darvish long term, there’s at least one starter-needy team waiting to make a move until it sees whether the Rangers shop him. Consequently, the possibility of a Darvish trade is affecting the market for starters and “muddying the waters” for the AL West rival Athletics in their quest to deal Sonny Gray, writes Olney.




    Gonna speculate..may be NYY waiting back for Darvish

    I'm trying to not get my hopes up but man... Darvish would be unreal.

    Kershaw-Yu-Wood-Hill :O and you still have McCarthy/Maeda to sub in in case of injury? Fuck. Ugh.

    I was all on the Britton hype train

    But Darvish and like Reed would be way better

    Kershaw-Darvish-Wood-Hill would be amazing

    Thought this was obvious so I'll expand. There has been some talk that this injury could be career threatening due to other examples of guys who had this similar injury. As for Darvish, the Rangers obviously would want healthy bodies not damaged goods and there's that rather inconvenient rule of passing physicals to make trades.

    Dodgers Have “Strong Interest” In Yu Darvish

    By Connor Byrne | July 23, 2017

    The Dodgers were among those who scouted Rangers ace Yu Darvish’s latest start, an eight-frame, 12-strikeout showing against the Rays on Friday. It turns out the Dodgers are one of multiple teams with “strong interest” in Darvish, tweets Jon Morosi of MLB Network. Talks between Los Angeles and Texas are in their preliminary stages, adds Morosi.

    With a major league-best 67-31 record, the Dodgers are already something of a dream team, and adding Darvish to the fold would further increase their relatively high odds of being the last club standing at season’s end. The 30-year-old Darvish would give the Dodgers at least two bona fide aces, joining the peerless Clayton Kershaw, and there’s a legitimate case they also have another No. 1 in the lights-out Alex Wood. Los Angeles has also gotten quality pitching this year from starters Rich Hill and Brandon McCarthy, though both come with durability concerns. The depth-laden team has a couple more respectable starters in Kenta Maedaand Hyun-Jin Ryu, but they’ve been the weakest links in a rotation that tops the majors in ERA (3.33) and fWAR (12.1).

    As an impending free agent, Darvish wouldn’t necessarily stick with the Dodgers past this season, yet this year could represent the franchise’s best chance at a championship in a while. So, between that and their top-notch farm system, the Dodgers could elect to make a bold strike and pay what will be a high price to acquire Darvish. Even though the Rangers are struggling, there’s no guarantee they’ll move Darvish, a franchise icon whom they’d like to re-sign. However, just in case, the Rangers have been scouting the Dodgers’ minor leaguers. The Rangers watched highly touted Triple-A outfielder Alex Verdugo on Friday, Evan Grant of the Dallas Morning News notes (on Twitter). Verdugo is the 35th-best prospect in the game, per Baseball America, and the Dodgers aren’t eager to part with him or other top youngsters such as righties Walker Buehler and Yadier Alvarez.

    If we weren't already there, with Darvish we would be way past the point of "annoyingly good" for the rest of the league. Can't wait.
