North Texas Nine Podcast: Rangers Trade Deadline Reaction, Fan Q&A with Roy White III
The North Texas Nine Podcast welcomes special guest Roy White III as he joins Texas Rangers beat writer Chris Halicke for a jam-packed episode of the show. Chris and Roy react to the moves the Rangers did and did not make at the trade deadline. In the new #SmartHalicke segment, they also address fans' questions and concerns on a number of issues.
The Rangers traded away three veteran players at the trade deadline, including Mike Minor to the Oakland Athletics for two prospects in the A's system. They also pulled off two last-minute trades with the New York Mets that sent Robinson Chirinos and Todd Frazier to the Big Apple.
However, the Rangers decided to hold onto their two biggest trade pieces: Lance Lynn and Joey Gallo. Fans and team supporters were perplexed by the Rangers' decision to hold onto Lynn, given the current status of the organization.
