Broussard Released

From an email from Jamey Newberg: "Texas was predictably unable to find a team interested in taking on Ben Broussard's contract (or trading a non-roster prospect in exchange for Broussard on a subsidized basis), and so, according to multiple local reports, the Rangers have placed Broussard on release waivers, which means the club is on the hook for the entirety of his $3.85 million contract." I'm not surprised the Rangers made him available, but that there were no takers. Or seemingly so.

Come back Ben

we could desperately use you.

Do we really need a 1B/DH?

Or are you talking about you personally need him?

Yeah but is being better than Cairo a skill

seems like almost everybody in AAA deserves his spot more than he does.

Are you joking?

He hit the game winning rbi? Now not anyone in AAA can do that, it takes veteran skill and world series experience duh.

But in all seriousness, saying anyone deserves his spot also says anyone deserves WFB’s spot as well. We can’t lose one of our FOF now.

Well yeah

but as long as he’s on the roster we have every right to complain about it, and Ben would be a neat little short-term solution. However I’m obviously biased.

Yeah I'd just rather get other people than Broussard

I’m sure there are better options out there.

Haha!

We got Tug Hulett and the Rangers got that loser. Chalk up another win for Bavasi!

Seriously, bring Ben back.

Right...

in a sense you get Hulett + get Broussard for 3/4 of the minimum instead of his full salary.
