EPL Summer Thread - The One Where Arsenal Sells Everyone

Nasri maybe off to City, United and now Chelsea. Fabregas probably off to Barcelona, although Real may be trying to stir shit up. Clichy probably off to City, although Liverpool still lurk. Arshavin out of favor, Bendtner out of favor, Denilson out of favor. Good luck Arsene.

EPL Summer Thread - MUPPETS UNITE

Chelsea have practically wrapped up Lukaku and Modric wants in too. United have signed Phil Jones with Young and De Gea to be announced later. Liverpool have signed Henderson, Marveaux failed his medical, and they look to be in on Charlie Adam and some other English dudes. City are favorites for Sanchez runners up to Barca for Sanchez. Arsenal are doing Arsenalings.

SB Nation Dallas Minor League Rangers Primer - Part 1 - Spring Training Wrap-Up With Special Guests Jason Cole, Jason Parks

 

As many who follow the Rangers already know, the Rangers' farm system ranking has taken a hit with a number of high profile graduations and a clutch of less developed talent at the lower levels of the organization.  However, the collection of gifted writers who cover the Rangers system remains strong.  I've gathered three of the best (Jason Parks, Jason Cole and our very own Brett Perryman) to answer a series of questions about the performances they've seen over the course of Spring Training.  There's plenty more after the jump:

SB Nation Dallas Red Sox Trade For Gonzalez - Possible Implications For The Rangers?

It's being reported by multiple sources that Adrian Gonzalez has been traded (contingent on an extension being negotiated by Sunday afternoon) to the Red Sox for Casey Kelly, Mike Rizzo, Rey Fuentes and a PTBNL.  This deal has some interesting implications for the Rangers, which we'll explore after the jump.

Poll
Say, hypothetically, that the Rangers' equivalent of Kelly/Rizzo/Fuentes is Martin Perez/Mitch Moreland/Jake Skole (as a PTBNL)...should the Rangers think about parting with that kind of package for Fielder?
Yes, the thought of Hamilton, Cruz and Prince in the middle of the line-up makes my pants go crazy.

Yes, only if they're willing to spend big on an extension

Yes (other reason)

SB Nation Dallas MLS Cup Preview With Daniel Robertson - FC Dallas vs. Colorado Rapids


In a year in which the Cowboys have managed to disappoint even the worst pessimists, the other sports teams in Dallas have more than picked up the slack.  The Rangers gave us a taste of the World Series and both the Stars and the Mavs appear, at the early stages of their seasons, to be playoff bound.  FC Dallas, though, is poised to do what no DFW team has done for over a decade: Win it all.

Basically, if the club goes into administration and is docked 9 points, the deal with NESV will be off.

I can't possibly imagine this happening, if only because Liverpool is Liverpool. There's no way the bank will call in the loan knowing the potential buyer would walk, and there's no way the Premier League would punish Liverpool this way. Portsmouth, Leeds, etc...they're hardly small clubs but they're not a behemoth like Liverpool.

Also, international break. Yay! Rec this up before the GDTs start flooding in tomorrow.

SB Nation Dallas Hamilton Out For A While

Per TR Sullivan, Josh Hamilton will be unavailable for an extended amount of time as a result of his crash into the wall in yesterday’s game, which everyone turned off after the first inning.

This shouldn’t affect the Rangers’ sizable division lead too much, but It does bring up a few questions. 1: Why do the Rangers continue to tempt fate by playing Hamilton in CF? 2: Who carries the offense on their shoulders now? and 3: Are the Rangers contractually obligated to have at least one of their key offensive players out at a time?
