I don't see how the Rangers can land Stanton and Price both. I think they'll probably have to decide which one they want more. KC had to give up Wil Meyers in a deal for James Shields. Shields is a really good SP but he's not Price. Have to imagine Profar + a little more could get either Stanton or Price but I'm assuming they don't have enough ammo for both. Another team will come along and throw a better prospect package together. Mike Olt is a pretty highly regarded prospect but I'm not sure if he's enough to act as a centerpiece for one of these guys. Maybe he is though, I'm not certain. He's pretty much stinking it up at AAA Round Rock this year and that's in the PCL, an extreme hitter's league.
I just pray it's not the Cubs giving up a couple of their top prospects for Price, as has been speculated. Price is outstanding but I want the Cubs to keep up this rebuilding effort. They have some pretty nice offensive prospects now and they should see it through with those guys. They have the money to supplement their rotation via free agency once they decide a couple of those young bats are ready for the Majors and they want to try and compete.
