| 0:00.0 | So yes, the Rangers will not trade Sebastian Walcott today. That would be a story, but it is the |
| 0:06.7 | MLB trade deadline. It's today at 5 o'clock p.m. Central time. And we've already seen a flurry of |
| 0:14.9 | trades over the past 24 plus hours or so. And we talked to our buddy Evan Grant, the Dallas |
