On the potential rising trade value of Shin-Soo Choo...

Sherrington: [29:38] "Here you've got a guy who is owed $20 million a year through 2020 ... and he's been hitting really well lately. Been playing very well lately which would have to make him more attractive. And I'm wondering if - you're not going to get anybody to take that $20, essentially $40 million on at this point - but what if you said we [the Rangers] will take on $15 million a year for the next two years if you give up two nice prospects in return?"

Grant: "Here's where I think the Rangers are with Choo. And let me start this by saying the way Choo has approached everything since the middle of 2015 has been exemplary. And if you go back and look at his on-base percentage, which is really what his driving force was when he came here, since the middle of 2015 - and the reason I use that is he talked about the conversation he had with his wife during the All-Star break in 2015, and how he put his mind at ease over some of the pressures associated with the contract - and he's got the fifth-best on-base percentage in the American League since that time. So, he has performed on-base wise - in a league where the on-base percentage appears to be going down dramatically - he has performed on-base wise at an elite level.

"On top of that, the guy has had the great approach in the clubhouse. When we talk about leadership, he's taken the approach in the clubhouse that if this season is lost, if this team is rebuilding, what he can do is pay it forward in the way that Travis Hafner did for him when he was in Cleveland. The way Victor Martinez did. Guys who, when they saw him coming along as a young player, they helped him become a better player. So, he has handled the situation magnificently.

"That said, the money that's left and his position on the team right now do stand in the way, potentially, of getting Willie Calhoun to the big leagues, and having an everyday role for Willie Calhoun. And I think that is going to be necessary at some point.

"And so what you do with Choo is you have one of two ways you could go. He's played well enough that maybe if somebody is willing to take on the player, and as you said, you pay even the remaining contract to get legitimate prospects back in return, that's one way you can manipulate the market.

"And if somebody is not willing to give you prospects in return, but they will take on some of his salary, whether it's $5, $7, or $10 million a year, then you've saved some money that you can apply to the future, and created that space for Willie Calhoun. I do think that over the next six weeks trying to find a space for Shin-Soo Choo will be significant.

"I do think that there is a team out there that has had real trouble getting production in right field - which is where Choo plays when he's in the field, and that lost something of a DH to an arm injury - and that's the Los Angeles Angels. And how difficult it would be for the Rangers and Angels to contemplate a trade - I don't know. But I certainly feel like the Angels have all the conditions necessary for them to be a good fit for Shin-Soo Choo."
