Series Thread: Rangers Host the Mariners For Three Games May 2-4

CY should have made these moves last season.

Cody Freeman has started the last 2 days at SS for Round Rock. That is very interesting. He can hit.

Cole Winn has still not given up a run.

Taveras has been released - outright waivers

not surprised except i saw it coming sometime between mid-June or mid-July

 

[scotsman#1948]

It would have been nice to have traded Taveras in the offseason before we used him and caused his trade value to go down. Another 5 weeks of him disappointing hurt his value.

heard there was little or no interest during the off-season and that they were hoping that he might improve his image. he has basically until Thursday to hope some other team will pick up his contract or he has to accept demotion to the minors or declare free agency and lose around $3.5M

From this article: The Rangers had attempted to trade him last week, but found no teams willing to make a straight trade that would involve exchanging players and taking on the remainder of the contract.

Texas Rangers place Leody Taveras on outright waivers. Here’s what it means

Taveras, 26, has played in 504 games for the Rangers since 2020.

So what teams did they have discussions with???

 

[Kelleyman]

Poor Adolis unless he makes a miraculous turnaround. He will be nontendered this offseason

 

[saddles]

Carter will be back tomorrow.

Or, they asked for too much in the ofdseason.

don't know but the Rangers weren't going to eat the whole contract and get nothing in return

 

[saddles]

How long before Osuna replaces Adolis?

Of course not. They just overvalued him some in the offseson.

 

[saddles]

With Carter back it will be interesting to see how many starts Pederson and Crim get

 

[WastinSomeTime]

How long before Osuna replaces Adolis?

My guess is next year.

Brett Boone is our new hitting coordinator.

 

[Duane1952]

According to espn Bret Boone replaces Donnie Ecker. Anyone know if he’s been a hitting coach before.

This is his first MLB coaching job.

 

[Bmurph]

This is his first MLB coaching job.

We shall see how it turns out, but I would have preferred they go get someone with some experience as a hitting coach and a track record

 

[Uncle Siggy]

I was surprised to hear about Boone but he was a pretty decent hitter in his playing days so I guess we'll see how it goes...

I guess when Bochy calls and offers you a job you really can't say no...

 

[saddles]

Boone said he was just at USC to throw out a first pitch and ran into Michael Young. He told Young to say hello to CY and Bochy and then when he gets home, the next thing he knows is his phone is ringing and it is Bochy asking him to consider the job.

 

[saddles]

Boone played for Bochy one year.
