    Shuffling deck chairs... not sure which team is the Titanic and which is the iceberg at this point.

        Does this do anything for Krush's value?

          Doubt it. I suspect he plays only against LHPs.
          I'm just here for the baseball.

            He's pretty much like his brother from another Mother, Chris Davis. Both have descended into almost complete uselessness, so odd for guys with the same name.

              He can only play DH now, and they have Willie Calhoun ticketed there. I get that they wanted Kiner-Falefa to start reducing Andrus to backup, but not sure how Davis helps them at all.

                I don't see how Davis helps anyone, but this was a salary-related trade at first blush. Rangers take on more money right now and have more money to spend later on. Andrus was scheduled to be the starting 3B on the Rangers with K-F sliding over to short. Now I guess Odor is the starting 3B? They also have some dude named Apostle who I've never heard of as an option.

                  The reports say Texas has been asking about Jonah Heim for a couple years - he's the real target in the deal. I'd say the odds are better than 24.7% Davis is DFA.

                  Odor probably stays at 2B with Nick Solak at third -- until Josh Jung is ready, which could be sometime over the summer.

                    Just nabbed Jung in the 50 rounder, so the sooner the better with him! 5th ranked 3B prospect by mlb.com. All hit tool, little power. Solak gaining additional eligibility will be great, too.

                      It’s funny I had Jung targetted in this range before the draft. If the Elvis trade didn’t go down in the middle of our draft he was going to be on my team. 3rd or 4th guy I’ve lost to “news”
