Well Cantu is hitting for us right now, so I'm guessing it's not done.

[Big Z]

Yeah that's what I was just thinking lol, there's his last his as a Marlin.

[Ralph]

BTW Poveda will get a year of service time since he's been on the big league 60 day dl.

Reed's cool. Poveda's pretty meh as a starter.

what a shitty return

[Fritz]

For a shitty player.

[wanks1212]

Wonder if Reed gets thrown into the bullpen right away or if they keep him in AA for awhile. He's probably reasonably close to being ready in the organization's eyes, if they think Sanabia and Marinez are ready.

He's still playing in the game. If this trade is indeed done, word has not made it down to the field.

[emkayseven]

I'd bet he's up by mid-August

probably won't be "official" until after the game

[Ramp]

doesn't make sense that Cantu is still playing

[Ralph]

Well definitely needs league approval with trading a player on DL and money being exchanged.

Even so, if a deal is done, he would be out of the game.

Still, if the trade was complete, I'm sure the Rangers would not want him still playing and risk him getting hurt before they even get him.
