That's six guys for a five-man rotation. That frees up all the free agent money to go to the bullpen. We certainly need to to go there.

A great pen helps make that a great rotation.

I think that has done more to demoralize this team than any other piece. You never feel you can hold onto a lead.

#6 #7 #8 hole scarey.

It looks like they would have to spend around $30 million before getting to the luxury tax. I'm not sure how much they would want to stay below for possible additions at next year's deadline.

They don’t seem bothered by going over the luxury tax so I think they’ll be more concerned with ensuring that the team doesn’t repeat the end of this season than spending what it takes

This last one especially at the trade deadline. Counting the money on the injured reserve the Rangers is at nearly 277M
