I just get tired of the turnover to the point we just don't go as much any more. It's not like changing players the past tree years has improved anything. So again, piss on 'em. Rick

Joe Nathan - Had two great years here but they don't need him anymore. They can save his salary requirements and give the closing job to Feliz, Soria or possibly Ogando though I think that's unlikely

Little late to the party but you guys knocking Fielder's health and eating habits should probably pay more attention to the fact that he literally never sits out a game. He's always been healthy and i

This excites me. Profar was going to be stuck riding the pine last season and between Kins, Profar and Andrus, I viewed Kinsler as the most expendable.

Now, I loved Kins as much as the next person, but I got really tired of the IKPU towards the end of the season.

I wonder what this means with Nellie, though. Like, did we trade for Fielder in order to replace Nellie, or is this to put Beltre-Fielder-Cruz 3-4-5 in the lineup.

I would hope the latter, because we'd freakin' mash!

You forgot Rios too,that would make for some serious depth.

Fielder would relegate Moreland to the bench or DH. Profar will go to 2nd to replace Kinsler.

I think Cruz will find the market for outfielders to be soft for a guy who just served a 50-game suspension.

For that much money, he needs to do more than take 4 ABs a game. He has switched on and off as DH and 1B, but his fielding is pretty good.

I would like to see us still grab Cruz for the right price. Platoon Moreland and Cruz at DH/RF. Rios LF w/ the best infield in baseball. Hot damn.

1) Martin

2) Elvis

3) Beltre

4) Fielder

5) Rios

6) Cruz

7) McCan / Salty / Napoli / ??

8) Moreland

9) Profar

= WS?

Very surprising trade to hear. McCann is still in play and I'd like to resign Cruz for 3 years. Cano is a huge reach. Napoli is certainly out of the picture. So many possibilities here I cannot wait til the winter meetings. This is super exciting.

But Kinsler will always mean a lot to this organization and city. I can't express enough gratitude to his contributions. I hope the best for him in Motown and hope he can get a ring sometime.

As long as it's not before we do . . .

If Cruz can be resigned, I think he becomes the regular DH with some outfield work. His defense has slipped. I like the trade because I think Kinsler's offense and defense was beginning to slip, also.

For all his line drive adventures, Cruz has a cannon for an arm. Nice to have out there when there is an opposing runner on 2B and there is a single to right.

Not nice to have out there when you need someone to catch a line drive to win a World Series (still the worst managed game I have ever seen in baseball at any level).

      Earth to GMG

      Why should we care much about high school recruits anymore? I would focus on recruiting Sun Belt/CUSA, D2, D3, JUCO and NAIA STUDS. Guys who have proven themselves at a higher level. Along with some P4 drop downs who have also gotten reps but have suffered a setback and are looking for an opportunity to make an impact. There is no reason to develop a high school player anymore. If a high school player is ready to step on the field and compete NOW, let’s get him. Until the rules change or our NIL gets to a level where we can hang on to good guys for multiple seasons (which will probably be never) then team-building is year-to-year proposition. Get the guys who have reps at higher levels and have spent time in college weight programs.

      AAC Trend - Year 2 of 5 Firings

      "Wilson's firing marks the sixth job to open in the AAC (along with those at Charlotte, Rice, Temple, East Carolina and FAU). Tulsa, Charlotte and FAU fired their coaches before the finish of their second seasons, a sign that the expected length of coaching tenures in the Group of 5 is shortening." Here is the ESPN article about the AAC and G5 trend... https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/42581760/sources-tulsa-firing-kevin-wilson-latest-blowout-loss

      Love me some Chico with the jet black Roy Orbison interim hair. For me Chico is like Creed. I'm not supposed to love them but I do. Coach Canales loved North Texas more than most alumni.

      This world does not exist anymore. It used to, but not in the portal and NIL age of college football. If players cared about coaching staff stability they would not be transferring at the rate they are. If this thinking permeates our AD, then they need to look for a new line of work because that ship sailed. Seriously, how many 17-18 years olds sit down and review the contracts of the coaches to decide which offer to take? High school recruiting should be de-emphasized. It can't go away completely, but building a program through the high school ranks over multiple years no longer works. When recruiting high school players, I think the only "stability" play is academic stability. There are a lot of players that have the skill and ability to play D1 football, but won't make it to the next level. Hopefully they are smart enough to realize that. Sell them (and their parents!) on playing a sport they love and getting a solid education and degree while they do. That's why it's important to continue to improve the academic status of UNT. We're not going to be a Stanford, but improving 4-year graduation rates and tighter admission standards will help.
