On a busy sports day in which the Cowboys moved closer to a corporate partner and the Mavericks diminished the role of Donnie Nelson by hiring a new GM, the Rangers have made the most of their afternoon at-bat via a trade with the Chicago Cubs.
2012: Ryan Dempster.
2013: Matt Garza.
In this year's deadline deal the Rangers are giving up pitcher Justin Grimm and minor-league prospects Mike Olt and C.J. Edwards in return for a Cubs' starting pitcher in hopes of a playoff push.
We'll break this deal down in detail tomorrow, but on the surface the Rangers - despite not giving up the farm (system) - need to make a deep post-season run and re-sign Garza next winter to win the trade.
Right?
