I want to do a post about the Gore MacKenzie trade that talks about the prospects the Rangers give up. And as part of that, I was going to go through and look at who else the Rangers have traded, in terms of prospects, to get a major league return since the start of the 2023 season.
But such a list would be unwieldy in the middle of a post, and really, has value outside of the discussion of the Gore trade. So instead, I’m doing a separate post about it.
I’m not listing guys lost on waivers or sold for cash considerations to clear up a 40 man roster spot, since my focus is just on guys traded in actual baseball deals designed to make the present team better, not guys who are lost for procedural reasons. I’m also including guys who had technically lost their prospect eligibility because I’m not being pedantic about it.
