The Jurickson Profar trade with the Texas Rangers, the Oakland A’s and the Tampa Bay Rays news came out just 24 hours ago, and we are all still processing the information. The deal has been met with a good deal of criticism and skepticism by a lot of Rangers fans, and I have seen several of the same points raised.
On a personal level, I’m fairly agnostic on the deal — I think its an okay trade, though a lot of how good it is depends on how you evaluate the pieces the Rangers got back, particularly lefthanded pitcher Brock Burke.
