@JeffPassan Complete waste of Semien’s trade value. Instead of prospects, now the Rangers get to pay $100 million for a 33 year-old DH, who doesn’t even slug, and provides zero defensive value.
Cool gesture: The Texas Rangers gave starter Nathan Eovaldi the $100,000 All-Star bonus in his contract even though he didn’t make the American League team. Eovaldi has been brilliant this season, posting a 1.58 ERA over 91 innings. He’s one of the most respected players in MLB.
