Do the Rangers have desirable trade deadline talent?

KRLD-FM / 105.3 The Fan

No, the Rangers still can't hit, losing to the Rays 5-1 on the road last night. But outside of those continued struggles, could any of the players on this roster be good trade chips come deadline time? Either to rebuild the hitting core or begin a semi-rebuild? K&C look up and down the roster to see if players like Tyler Mahle and Patrick Corbin would have value on expiring deals.

00:00look at your lineup right now or look at the look at the lineup that you put out last night

00:20all right josh smith wyatt langford he's missed some time he's there cory seager obviously he's

00:26missed time same with josh young they're both there we moved osuna up but you also saw some from

00:32adulus garcia marcus simian jake berger you sent him down to the minors and brought him back and

00:37evan carter you saw a little bit from him obviously he has missed some time as well now and then you've

00:43got higgy there that missing time for the catcher position hasn't been as problematic but my point

00:47is whether it's langford seager young garcia berger carter either you bench them or send them down to

00:56the minors or they have had injuries but that's happened to all of them they're all here now so

01:02what i would love to see is for them to stay healthy for let's even say like three to four weeks because

01:08then that excuse is out the window because you even heard brett boone earlier and he goes hey we just

01:14need our guys to stay healthy all right they're here now and you did nothing offensively yesterday

01:19but that happens to the best of the team so what's it gonna look like in the next three weeks if those

01:24guys stay relatively in the line yeah and i think that's that's what doesn't that feel like that's what

01:30boone's saying yes i know they're here now today yeah but tomorrow the way this season has gone tomorrow

01:36one of them will be out yeah uh or two of them and and so the hope is that after three weeks they find

01:42a groove in the same order and like that is kind of a hope i know that i can be protected by this guy at the

01:50plate i know i can be protected by this guy in the lineup too this allows me to get these types of pitches

01:54because the information will start pouring in yep if you have the same thing over and over consistently

02:00over a period of time the information on how do they treat these guys and what's the trends because

02:05kevin you can't pick up a trend uh and for your data at least if there is no real consistency you have

02:12you have to have consistency to have trends yeah i think that's the one thing that they're hoping

02:16is the difference not just a guy walks in and says i'm here to hit home runs good luck
