    "non-physical" clubhouse incident. Weird. Maybe Kenny Williams mouthed off again.

    Rangers would be crazy to say no to including Profar for Sale

    That's a much better trade than Profar and Gallo.

    Looks like someone is pissed about all of the South Oklahoma Rangers rumors.

    Astros broadcast just said that Rangers brass is gathering to discuss a trade for Sale. Looks like it's happening. Not good news for Astros.

    No idea if true, but if so this is hilarious:

    <blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Not a joke: Source says Sale blowup was because he didn't want to wear throwbacks, so he cut the jerseys up so no one could wear them.</p>&mdash; Tommy Stokke (@StokkeTommy) <a href="https://twitter.com/StokkeTommy/status/757000213731037184">July 23, 2016</a></blockquote>

    If the Rangers end up with Sale we are in all sorts of trouble.

    Depends what their giving up. If they mortgage their future, our path in the future becomes that much easier.

    How would they know? Nobody in Dallas is reporting this, not mentioned on the Rangers broadcast.

    This. The Astros could easily beat whatever the rangers are offering but no one player is worth burning down the farm.

    For what its' worth, Sale has had an ERA of 4.67 over his last 10 games. And I hear he hates throwbacks.
