00:00Who had the report barring a dramatic turnaround rival executives expect the Rangers to make
00:21Max Scherzer Michael Lorenz and Andrew Heaney David Robertson and Kirby eights available
00:25ahead of the 2024 trade deadline good morning Bob to find dramatic turnaround I just to
00:33get back in the race really I mean just they you know haven't they haven't hit all summers
00:39all year and now they got about you know two three weeks to do so uh you know to get over
00:45500 and be the team they want to be you know otherwise you might as well sell off those
00:50parts you know in in build for uh you know restock for next year you know where they
00:56should be a contender again Bob if they let's say they do turn it around or they meet that
01:01dramatic turnaround that they're looking for you mentioned that barring that dramatic turnaround
01:07there they're going to sell but if they get that turn I do expect them to be buyers or
01:10would they just stand pat and roll with what they had I think stand pat remember they're
01:17up against it money wise to you know that's why they didn't you know go out and get Jordan
01:21Montgomery you know Montgomery wanted to come back there and uh and and certainly the Rangers
01:27wanted him back so yeah I would think stand pat I mean it's not there's not a whole lot of
01:32inventory out there there is not a uh you know those tough guys that can help out it
01:37help out a team you know like uh Berlin or wasn't Scherzer a year ago so they do trade
01:43Scherzer I would think I would think teams that bite although he's got a full no trade
01:48clause so he can he can shut it down himself is
