Should Corey Seager be part of the Rangers’ trade deadline plan?

KRLD-FM / 105.3 The Fan

The MLB trade deadline is just two weeks away, and RJ’s big question is whether the Rangers should buy, sell, or hold steady.

What moves do you think they should make? Comment your trade deadline predictions and how confident you are in the team’s chances going forward.

00:00it's it's seager that's not doing b he doesn't really do batting practice on the field he has

00:19his own thing that he does sometimes he's out there he's out there a little bit more now

00:23uh they're not taking infield the way that i i think the higher ups would like

00:29um and the thing with seager is is that he is a tremendous player and that works for him

00:36the problem you run into is that when you're a guy of his stature you're a leader on the team

00:42and young guys follow you right so you get guys out there that are up-and-coming players and it

00:48doesn't matter if it's you know atollis isn't really an up-and-coming player but you know if

00:53you get a guy like you know imagine if jake degrom was never throwing bullpens and jack lighter comes

00:58up and jack lighter's like well what i want to be jake degrom right if he's not throwing a bullpen

01:04why would i throw a bullpen yeah right so you get some of the younger guys and you don't want

01:09that to like habits to be copied bad habits bad habits you don't have to be poisoned right

01:15because cory seager let's be fair he can do whatever the hell he wants he's cory seager

01:20yeah he's a two-time world series mvp he is one of the best shortstop in baseball and if he doesn't

01:25want to take batting practice go ahead right i don't know how he gets better as an infielder if

01:30he's never taken infield but somehow he's still really really good but you cannot have other guys

01:37following that lead lead and i don't know what that means they're gonna do but let's say that they get

01:47to the trade deadline and they're still nine and a half back in the division and they're still four

01:53games back in the wild card and they're still about a game under 500 at the trade deadline they're

01:59not gonna add i don't see them adding without subtracting the same time i don't think this team

02:05wants to get into the tax again and if they add they're probably going to get into the tax again

02:12so would you be okay if they unloaded seager and got a haul back and would it have to be a major

02:23league player or would you be cool with a bunch of prospects
