2014 Offseason Plans Thread

Nearly $20 million per year...that's a chunk of change.

For 2014 and 2015, we will be out only(!) $4 million per year after removing Kinslers contract..

Nearly $20 million per year...that's a chunk of change.

And we are removing Kinsler's 13-14 mill a year. I am okay with this as it looks like JD means business this year and there will be other additions. We have the money. This is not a small market team.

That's 19.7 MM AAV for prince. Great deal JD

So we got Fielder for only 5 more million this year? I'm coming around on this trade.

 

[WastinSomeTime]

Ian was getting paid 14 this year right and then his went up? So we got fielder for only 5 more million this year?

Plus the buyout in 2018 was $5 mill.

 

[WastinSomeTime]

Considering his durability and contribution that's a great move for the rangers.

Not bad when you have a down year in fans eyes and hit 279 with 25 HRs and 106 RBIs.

Yes it is, but in MIO money well spent.

I truly love this, and we'll see what happens next.

Kinsler was to be paid $16 m in '14 and '15, then it drops off to $14 m in 2016 and $11 m in 2017... Per Cots

It is a great move with a couple more pcs. Without them , not sure.

Even with the death of the jet stream Fielder should still see a bump in his numbers in Arlington.

It bothers me a little that TX was on Fielders no trade list. I know he had to accept it, but 2 years ago he didn't want to be here.

Beltre has to be a happy man right now.

People misconstrue the no trade list into meaning a player doesn't want to be in Texas. All it did is give control to the player to decide his own fate.

 

[BLeslie59Rangers]

After seeing that we are out only $4m in each of the next 2 years ( I'll just close my eyes after that!), I'm getting comfortable wit this trade. We have room to do more...

Exactly. It's not as crazy as it originally might seem. It's gonna work out fine.

 

[romeo212000]

He finally doesn't have to be the only guy to do damage. Fielder should get plenty of pitches to hit with Beltre behind him. Now we just need somebody to protect Beltre and a catcher. I still say get McCann.

I bet he is and he will increase his contributions also.

 

[Texas Jefe]

Relax Mack.....it is one of many opportunities. Rome wasn't built in a day.

And your quote of "go to hell, I'm going to Texas" is from Davy Crockett; not David Bowie.

Davy Crockett. Thanks for the tip. I just put that in yesterday.

And okay, I'll settle down. I know it's early.

Fuck it get, let's go all out...sign Cano and trade EA for Miller and Taveres.

/sarcasm but only sorta

That doesn't make much sense to me. Why would he put 10 teams on there if he would only decline it to a few cities? I think the TX heat might have had something to do with it.

Wait till Lainey gets wind of this.

I suspect - after he has a cup of coffee - he'll be on board. What's your take?
