Loved the travel question. I think there is more there to explore around the logistics of baseball. Moving uniforms/equipment, travel with/without family, meals, etc. Maybe no one else cares but I’ve always wondered how that part of the long season works.
Obviously a short term need trade. I saw the pitcher in Frisco last week and he was VERY impressive. I hope he does well…..and I think he will. I like Grossman and he has to produce against lefties or I will cringe.
The Grossman trade is just so weird to me. Bubba was a legit relief prospect and they just got him for Grossman who was nothing to them. Amazing deal for white Sox. Weird for us. Can’t believe 1. If it was going to be a one for one, that we couldn’t have gave someone lesser for him and they still would’ve accepted or 2. If they loved bubba that much that we couldn’t have expanded it to Grossman and a lotto at the least? Or an MLB bullpen arm and Grossman for bubba +? Very odd and disappointing trade. Not because I don’t like having Grossman but we just used a Dede t trade chip on someone who shouldn’t have required a decent trade chip. That chip could’ve been used as part of a bigger deal in a couple months. You only get to trade him once.
Grossman trade win now window
Leo Tavares always been streak hitter.
Josh Smith too valuable to deal.
That’s my 3 swings. Go Rangers

Great question would make a fantastic deep dive story lots of moving parts to deal with
