Rangers Trade for Silseth and O’Hoppe: Smart First Move, Not the Last [m1J32l3vgmX]
Texas got Chase Silseth and Logan O’Hoppe from the Angels for 19-year-old Low-A infielder Angel Arredondo. Silseth gives the Rangers immediate bullpen help. O’Hoppe goes to Round Rock as the upside swing. Arredondo has real value, but that is still a surprisingly controlled price for two 26-year-olds from a division rival. The deal improves Texas. It just does not solve the lineup problem. MacKenzie Gore retired 20 of 21 after the first inning Wednesday, and the Rangers still lost 3-0. Smart first move. But this better just be the appetizer. #TexasRangers #MLB #ChaseSilseth #LoganOHoppe #MLBTradeDeadline #LosAngelesAngels #Baseball #MLBNews #MLBHighlights #RangersBaseball #TexasRangersBaseball #Rangers
