<div>Looks like Reinsdorf is going to own the two crap sports franchises in the City. </div>

year at the Major League level. The Rangers have a load of prospects they can move to land another starting pitcher or impact bat at the deadline, but even if Brinson isn’t Major League ready until 2018 (his strikeout rate has diminished to 19 percent but
is still concerning) he should be Texas’ most prized minor league asset and off-limits in trades. </span><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black"></span></div>

baseball. His range in center field is well above the cut and his polished approach at the plate makes him a clear bet to lead off for Toronto down the line, perhaps even adding some pop as he progresses through the system from high-A ball. The Blue Jays might
be in win-now mode, but Alford’s tremendous upside at a premium position — even if not fully realized yet — should make him untouchable.</span><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black"></span></div>
