## Resource

Well, it's less than a week until the trade deadline and John and Evan have been moved by the Rangers' recent hot streak. What is there to do? How can the Rangers do it? But the team deserves a chance to compete is the guys' perspective. Then Royce Clayton, at the center of the Rangers' 1998 trade-deadline makeover, joins the fellas to discuss the trade that brought him and Todd Stottlemyre to Texas, why he refused to move off shortstop for Alex Rodriguez and how much money Taco Bell actually owes him for a viral World Series moment.
