Yes we are at least not in last place but I do think we should have better odds. They overrate the Angels too

I think they're going to be better than some think

FWIW. There is also of moaning and groaning asking why their teams have only signed MILB spares especially Yankee fans

What if you were a reds fan who saw them liar an All star just to shed a contract

Like said these owners are wiley. There are still waiting players out. I still think we are in the market for a LF but no one’s flinching just yet

I can honestly say this is the strangest offseason I've ever seen.

Rangers spend more than any team in history before the lockout, then here we are on March 15, with Spring Training already underway, and you could make a lineup with the big name FA's still unsigned.

and there are several players that would take 1-year deal here that would fit right into the "plans" so i'm finding it weird the lack of action by JD & CY. all i can figure that the owners have frozen the cash line.

i would much rather see Tommy Pham in LF than Willie and Taveras in CF with Adolis in RF with Kole at DH.

then add a SP on a 1-year deal. hell i could see Cueto or even Greinke and we could flip either at the trade deadline

Chris Archer is still out there too I believe.

i only threw out a couple i'm sure there are others. but the fact that we're not seeing anything from the Rangers front office speaks volumes

Can't really say there's any sort of conclusion to draw here... they've already had the single biggest offseason in franchise history, and thankfully have kept the farm virtually intact so far. And there are still a lot of pieces still out there, so the potential for more moves is still possible.

 

[Kelleyman]

I would venture to say many teams have thrown out quite a few one year offers to players.
No one is biting just yet. Lowball offers not unheard of

hope you are right but opening day is 3 weeks away i would think they would be finishing up the final touches by now

 

[Kelleyman]

Well this explains a lot

Folty reeks. He was like 2-12 with a 5 or 6 era. Try someone else please.

Don’t worry the Rangers have Howard to replace him.

Unfortunately for the Rangers, he is very much not an innings eater.

That franchise seems to never go in the right direction.......either stagnant or backwards but never any real improvement
