Rangers welcome Pricless Rays.

Andrus should have never made more than 10-12 million annually on that contract which would've put it at 8 years and 80 million, 88 million or 96 million, instead he got a tick below 15 million per year putting it at 8 years 118 million instead

12 million a year would've been a slight overpay but one that he could've attained most years of the contract, provided he play good defense throughout

AAV = Average Annual Value

I knew all along he would get 15 AAV. That's not a discussion about worth and should though. His agent is Boras and he plays a premium position. If he hit the open market this off season he would likely get 5 at 15 per from NY. He would be overpaid, but that's baseball.

No one should've paid him that much, that's kinda the point. That's how bad contracts happen, especially for a player that's limited offensively.

Saw Profar on Rangers Live. Looks like he's gotten bigger in the upper body and arms.

That might seal up the 1st overall pick. I hope it doesn't hurt us next year.

Wouldn't bank on it. Colorado is really sucking it. Maybe extensive injuries on Tulo and Cargo I think I read somewhere.

Robbie Ross getting another shot, hopefully he's figured some things out down in AAA

might as well shut him down until next season.

I agree. No reason to risk anything at this point.

Just texting my nephews in Colorado telling them their team needs to start winning. They need to retool by trading Tulo and might as well trade CarGo but may be a year or two too late to get max value.

Starting the game digging out of the hole.

Any and all help is appreciated, Wastin. Rangers are surely doing their part.
