Not to Trade?

Keeping Minor would mean that the team is focused on competing, and there probably will be trades for other arms that would provide a signal to the fans that they are going to keep him and work to fix their bullpen for a playoff push.

Another reason for keeping Minor would be because there simply were no good offers for him. The Rangers have him in 2020, too, so they can hold off on dealing him if there are no offers that they like, and hope that he can further increase his stock.

Regardless of what the Texas Rangers do with Mike Minor this season, it is probably going to be a good move. If they keep him, it more than likely means they are going to be competing for a wild card spot this season. If they trade him, they will likely be adding some really good AAA arms that can officially end the retool or rebuild (whatever you prefer to call it), and put the Rangers back in contention for the division title.
