True on Mavs attracting FA but one issue with the NBA is the buddy system and guys trying to align themselves up to build their own championship team. The Rangers have just been a bunch of cheapskates.
I think the Mavs will eventually get some talented FA help. But the Rangers, and the Cowboys, are developing bad, or cheap, reputations and it’s hard to buck that. This day surely did not help.

Thing with the Angels is we saw what a powerful offense the Yankees had but their pitching was mediocre. That got them into the playoffs but they were outmatched once in a short series because of that. That could still be the problem for the Angels.

And I looked at getting Rendon much like the importance of when we got Beltre.
I have to think unless we develop our own 3B and spend on pitching this will bite.

This year will be tougher unless a rabbit is pulled out of a hat

Reports are they are still after pitching and who knows what happens after break

Really tough miss for us

I guess it’s time to start scouring the TJ surgery and veterans way past their prime scrap pile.

I dont know why any of you ever bought into this BS in the 1st place? I dont believe anything they say and haven't for quite awhile. I am not upset in the least because I never for a second believed they were really in on Cole Strasburg Rendon or any other player they would have to spend lots of dollars on because they are cheap fucks. I dont think if oil was $200 per barrel they would spend much more than a plug nickel on any player.

why don’t they sell the team if they’re not going to take this seriously?

good question. May have to if fourth place finishes is all they see for awhile. Seattle will soon catch them at this rate.

anyone know how to do a legit petition/grievance? Send something to this ownership group letting them know this is unacceptable...

Then setup a group boycotting attending games at their field of lies...

They are probably taking notes from across the street where you constantly put a mediocre team on the field and just take money from your fans.

Seems they are perfectly fine with 4th place finishes as long as they are making money

I am certain a Facebook or Instgram could be set-up. Not sure who would ever read it in the organization and not sure how to do a formal petition or formal grievance but I will definitely look into it.

Rangers are going to be bad...once again. BOOOO

They won't be Orioles bad but they will be status quo bad, just so they can make money winning 70 games per year.

but but but

new stadium! New suites! Air conditioning!

These cheapskates probably think they can get by for a year or two with just the stadium.

no new talent. Seriously wtf is 3rd base going to look like next year? All of the options by trade aren’t appealing because teams will probably want a minor or Lynn or top notch prospects if we even have any of those.

I hate josh Donaldson. I kinda don’t want us to get him.

They won't spend the money to get him, so dont worry about that. As I have said before Solak is probably our option at 3rd
