Use this as the OT, Tweet thread, like last year. Do not give up it matters now hello.
BNightengale Bob Nightengale

Words from Wilson via TR
The Rangers, Angels and Marlins appear to be the most likely candidates, but he still does not know where he will play next season. Wilson said "I have not made a decision. I’m still considering. It’s like I’m being torn in different directions".
But, we know from Ryan that the Rangers aren’t likely to budge on their offer, as he’s on record that he expects Wilson to sign elsewhere for more years/money.

"I have thought a lot about why people get so hostile online, and I have come to believe it is primarily because we live in a society with a hypertrophied sense of justice and an atrophied sense of humility and charity, to put the matter in terms of the classic virtues." --Alan Jacobs
That's a horrific idea.
Considering Sanchez and Moreland are basically the same dude from different sides of the plate, you’re trading your top pitching prospect, a quality major league arm and one of your best offensive players for a dude who’s probably not going to stay healthy and will be facing league/ballpark regression, plus a guy who’s just going to push Sanchez to the bench.

And it really doesn't matter if he's better than Moreland anyway, because again, LoMo just pushes him to the bench.

But even so, in this hypothetical
even if you don’t want to play Sanchez and Morrison and have one be terrible at outfield defense, Sanchez has trade value.
The question mark in the deal is Johnson, not Sanchez.
i tell the truth; i lie a lot
True on Johnson, that's the real problem.
I can’t imagine that Sanchez will have a real ton more trade value than Moreland has though, considering Moreland is younger, more controllable and no doubt cheaper.
I just see that part of the deal as a complete wash.

Moreland is two years younger
but I’d be a fair bit more wary about his bat. Sanchez, given how he boosted his walk rate, looks like a dependable .340-.350 wOBA bat for the next three years, which is something I’d personally value over Moreland’s persistent question marks.
i tell the truth; i lie a lot
League-average against righties
Wigginton hasn’t been over 100 wRC+ since 2008.
So neither of those things make sense.
i tell the truth; i lie a lot
In his prime, Wigginton was basically the same hitter.
He just dropped off a cliff after he hit 30.

But we don’t have a ton at the upper levels right now as it is, it’d hurt to lose both Olt and MPerez. I wouldn’t mind a package headlined by Olt and a few guys at the lower levels, but it’s too much at the upper levels. We won’t ever see another Tex trade, and that’s what that package reminds me of

Ovations are not for people like CJ
Pudge: marches into Hicks’ office to get a deal done on the trading deadline because he wanted to remain a Ranger. Deserves an ovation.
Nolan: gives the Rangers a hometown discount while securing his place in history as a legend and retires as a Ranger. Deserves an ovation.
Dirk: gives the Mavs a hometown discount and only asks that the Mavs continue to improve. Wins a championship. When he retires, or when he is let go or traded, deserves an ovation.
Emmitt: wins 3 Super Bowls, breaks all-time rushing record, signs with another team when and only when the Cowboys decide it’s time to move on. Deserves an ovation.
A-Rod and Texeira: selfish players, acted as though they were above the team, alienated themselves from their teammates. Traded. Roundly booed every time they come to the plate at RBIA.
CJ: acted as though he was above the team, alienated himself from teammates, offers Rangers’ division rival a “hometown discount,” puts the Rangers through the ringer while trying to drive his market price up. Should be roundly booed every time he sets foot on the mound at RBIA.

This is certainly true.

I beg to differ
I’ve probably gone to 400 Rangers games in my lifetime and watch about 120 games a season on TV. You can criticize me for not making coherent points, but trust me when I say I follow the game closely. CJ was not well-liked by his teammates (per Evan Grant interview on the Ticket yesterday) and he called baseball players a bunch of beer-swilling douchebags in Escalades (not exact quote, but it’s from an SI article from last year). He didn’t exactly epitomize the definition of a team player. That’s the only reason I compared him to A-Rod and Tex.

Besides, he was one of Hamilton’s best friends on the team, iirc, because Hamilton knew he could hang with CJ without worrying about alcohol, drugs, etc. Pretty hated, obviously.

And most baseball players are beer swilling, escalade driving douches. CJ just happens to be a straight edge, race car driving douche.

They seemed put off by his arrogant comments (like his WS interview talking about how he could land the team plane), and he caught a lot of flack per an SI article last year where it was revealed that he basically said that most ballplayers are a bunch of beer-swilling douchebags in Escalades.

Anger logic's so great I kinda forget what we saw in regular logic in the first place.
First of all, Dubya had a better opinion of Saddam than EG has of CJ
That isn’t a reliable source. Evan Grant also thinks Mike Young was the AL MVP. Bring me information from a real journalist and we will talk. CJ never rips his teammates like A-Tex did. CJ never demaned to be traded like A-Tex did (that would be the guy EG is always knob slobbing on, TWICE). The only think CJ ever “demanded” was an honest to god shot at the starting rotation cause he thought he could do it.
Guess what, he was right. And because of it we had one of the best starting pitchers in the AL the last two year. You want Kevin Millwood back? I mean is that was this is really about, the fact that, god for-fucking-bid has hobbies? Are you mad at Derek Holland cause he was goofy too?

Also: we have no idea if he's offering the Angels a "hometown discount"
The contract hasn’t even been signed. And I really don’t think he “put the Rangers through the ringer.” I think the Rangers (quite rightly) thought that his asking price was going to be higher than they wanted to pay, and so they gave him what they felt was a fair offer and said “if you can get higher than that, bully for you.”

Adam grew up (half the time) one block away from me (too good even back then). That particular “hood” is and has always been referred to as “Berkeley Place.” We had yard of the month awards, not mullett of the month contests. Probably half the kids in BP went to private school, either Country Day, Trinity Vallety, or Nolan.
If you aren’t from Fort Worth, hearing someone say they grew up in SW Fort Worth might sound “streety.” It shouldn’t. NW Fort Worth, NE Fort Worth, and SE Fort Worth are all more street. Much more.Southwest Fort Worth is hands down the safest, most middle class area of town. If Scorcese was remaking Mean Streets for the Big F, Southwest Fort Worth wouldn’t rate.

Carswell is the sticks, well past FW city limits, and never very south, just west. That is where Scoop was raised for a time, so that spot definitely has some trash cred, fwiw.
Berry street I would call Central/TCU/Forest Park area. Not southwest. And also, notably, just a few blocks from that notorious gladiator breeding ground known as Berkeley Place.

The Chicago-Texas series arrived this week with a little extra intrigue, in the form of a budding feud between the Rangers’ closer and the White Sox manager.
In this corner: C.J. Wilson, aspiring novelist, Taoist, movie critic, Guitar Hero devotee and a California free spirit in the Barry Zito mold.
Guillen
In the other corner: Ozzie Guillen, former All-Star shortstop-turned-World Series skipper, old-school guy, beat writer’s best friend and serial provocateur.
During a recent series in Arlington, Guillen ripped Wilson for his demeanor on the mound. He called Wilson “cocky” and accused him of lacking “class” and showing up Chicago’s hitters.
Like many Guillen showdowns, this one was as fleeting as a midsummer rainstorm. Guillen seemed determined to let things die Monday, and Wilson took a pass on the inflammatory rhetoric — telling reporters that he just likes “throwing hard and having a Mohawk and being an idiot.” Barring a sudden surge of testosterone from one combatant or the other, you can file the incident in the soon-to-be-forgotten bin.

The problem is he makes $6.5M and Wash would probably play him too much, imo
If they took on his contract, and we used him as the CF/RH-bench bat we’ve always needed, that would be amazing.
He wouldn’t be the worst option as a starter, even, I just don’t want to pay that salary.
