The Daily Bernie, 7/28/16: Minor deal, major rumors

The Texas Rangers added some pitching depth on Wednesday, while the market for catcher Jonathan Lucroy is starting to heat up, among other news.

Welcome back to the Daily Bernie! It’s the best dance in the game, so let’s get rolling once more!

  • In a relatively small move, on Wednesday afternoon the Texas Rangers acquired righty Lucas Harrell and lefty Dario Alvarez from the Atlanta Braves in exchange for young infielder Travis Demeritte. The move has been made official. Harrell really isn’t anything special, but the 31 year-old is at least valuable rotation depth for a team that desperately needed it.
