Rangers welcome the Pale Hose from the South Side for a weekend set: 9/17-19

[Kelleyman]

What JD actually said:

"We've started the process, but we haven't fully gotten into how exactly we're going to attack this offseason's free agency," Daniels explained. "And this is not just a one-year thing. We're looking to build for an extended period of time. We expect to add to the roster this offseason. By design, we're not looking to do all of it at once either."'

What Chris Halicke said(which I hope is not what they do):

"Another position you could see the Rangers attack this winter is the starting rotation. ...However, the Rangers will still need at least one or two veterans to come in and provide innings for a very young pitching staff."

One arm is fine, but with the skillset of our current prospects on the whole, we do not need two. We don't have to have any in 2022 actually.

The latter I would think is the writers interpretation not to be taken too seriously. I take his stuff with a grain of salt
We may pick up a small arm but surely not a huge splash at ST

I want a legit catching prospect that’s close. There are a lot of teams that have a mlb all star catcher already with a guy in the minors almost ready. I would focus on that.
We have almost too much depth in some spots and low depth in others. I would work to even that out.

Maybe but which catchers? And what would be the cost?

Well if we’re moving on from Lyles, Folty and apparently Arihara, then it would seem like we should be looking at a FA starter who fits into a #1 or #2 for 2022 with Hearn, Allard & Danning + someone from Alexy etc. don’t put too much pressure on them and let them continue their development.

I am very aware of him myself. He has become my favorite prospect.

Y'all have been way too hard on Lyles this year

Agree. A run or two in several instances and he and others would have looked much different. I spoke before on how many games we lost by a run or two and in some cases the BP lost some close games.

K


MJ Melendez C for the Royals, Gabriel Moreno of the Bluejays, Tyler Stephenson of the Reds, Joey Bart of the SFG or Logan O’Hoppe of the Phillies.

Cost would vary but I believe we have the resources to pull one off. Especially if we sign 3-4 FA

Too me this is a fallback. I think they are mainly going after a position player

JD mentioned SS by names so perhaps.

SS, catcher or CF

A poor attempt at humor that blew up in my face there

Pirates up a run in extras too
