They always say , "Don't mess with Texas" as if anyone has deep pockets and can reach back at anytime to grab a Knot or two of Cashola it's the Lone Star State! Well move over Pinstripes, Dodger Blue, and Gigantes you wanna be big spenders the Texas Rangers Baseball Club has some important business to attend to to get this transaction done!
That transaction is Philadelphia Phillies LHP Cole Hamels as the Rangers grab him and some other dude for the "Bump" and Cash for the rights to the Texas Rangers AAA, AA, and Rookie Instruction League. The Phightin' Phils also asked for the Ryan Express, "Pudge" Rodriguez, and Rueben Sierra as they were not available but would have taken the cash...well at least two of them would have not the Express!
The Rangers feel as though with Yu Darvish coming back in 2016 and some Payroll Slots open they could afford Hamels and his reported $67.5 million due from 2016-2018 with a Players Option for 2019 that includes unlimited Hopper Passes to Six Flags of Arlington, Texas..."You think they fooled me Brotha"!
The Phightin' Phils with a serious need of Upgrades not just in the Kitchen but in the Living Room and Family Room to the Man Cave and the Bonus Room...they all need a fixin! Promising Rangers Pitcher Matt Harrison will head to the "City of Brotherly Love" with five additional prospects and I hope they all have thick skin as Philly Sports Fans don't ant "Crash Dummies" or losers...trust me on that!
Where does this put DFW Pro Hardball somewhat in the AL West Race as this was also a move for the coming years and a solid one as Hamels will be the #1 on that Staff even with Darvish coming back sometime in 2016.
Take that you malcontents we have "Bread" in North Texas look around you there is Jerry and Mark...
