Texas Rangers 2021 - 2022 Offseason Thread

[scotsman1948]

I might give up Howard and the two newly acquired spare OF.

knowing the Cubs would laugh at you. the players i listed have value and are not long for the Rangers roster so get what we can for them.

 

[Bmurph]

I don’t want to trade for Gallo with any of our prospects at least none of any consequence.
Don’t like the idea in a year we still are up in their about getting Gallo on final year.
Now maybe one if our 49 man guys. Maybe

Cash considerations or a dirty mop.....that's all I am willing top part with

they have no value especially the 2 OF'ers, surprised they haven't already been released. Howard the Rangers will hold onto, put on the AA roster and see if he can find himself

There are roster moves pending

IKF to NYY is being discussed on Reddit, and the overwhelming majority of NYY fans don't want him at SS.

they don't want any more Rangers.

I think a lot of that was simply because, as fans, we were given so little to put our hopes in. That is certainly not the case any longer.

If we sign Suzuki, would you be opposed to an outfield of Suzuki, Garcia and Gallo for 2022, or are you opposed to Gallo under any circumstances.? Joey could even hit leadoff.

Gallo
Suzuki
Seager
Semien
Garcia
Lowe
Jung
K. Calhoun et al
Trevino, Heim

Batting Gallo leadoff would only make sense if all three 7,8 and 9 hitters have a very high OBP.

it makes sense because Gallo can get on base via walks and let the guys behind him drive him in.

 

[jta4437]

not sure about Gomes think i would rather go with Huff and Heim. and instead go for Iglesius and/or Jansen for relief pitchers/closers and Kershaw and Suzuki

I've stated repeatedly I don't think Huff sticks at catcher, and definitely not next year

 

[jta4437]

I was discussing the possibility of converting Josh Smith to a centerfielder with another fan on Twitter. He brought up the possibility of him becoming another Chris Taylor who also started out as a SS. He also mentioned how Taylor had the influence of Tim Hyers and that Josh Smith would too.

CF Josh Smith
LF Ezequiel Duran
DH Justin Foscue

Totally a possibility, seen it mentioned before (minus Foscue as a DH)

 

[jta4437]

like K. Marte or Cedric Mullins

Marte is a trash CFer

A lot of strikeouts for a leadoff hitter though.

 

[jta4437]

just to see what they want i'd offer 3 of the following:

Isiah Kiner Falefa SS/3B
Kolby Allard LHP
Nick Solak 2B
Jose Trevino C
Sherten Apostel 3B/SS
Yohel Pozo C

Yeah they would say no to pretty much all of that as a start

 

[BULLPEN FAILURE]

yep. which is why I don't want him in our lineup at all.

his biggest strength is getting on base via the walk, and he does that better than most. might as well take advantage of that and stick him at the top and let the better hitters produce (if you have to have him in the lineup).

 

[Bmurph]

Trade options should not start with players from a 100+ loss team, that wasn't much of a producer in the first place going to another team for a player of value.. Lets's be realistic when we think about trading what we got. I mean what do we really have on the roster that's gonna interest teams that want to upgrade and not tank???

 

[Kelleyman]

There going to be MIF casualties in this roster. Hope we can trade from 40man roster quickly

 

[scotsman1948]

Yeah they would say no to pretty much all of that as a start

never know without trying and it would only be the opening. they have one player listed in the depth charts for 2nd, SS and 3rd so IKF and Solak would probably be opening day starters as would Allard

Please don't put a guy that strikes out 200 times and can barely hit 200 in the lead off spot. He had a chance to stay here, but him and his agent wants a 300 million contract.

is Marte? well mullins isn't.
