Texas Rangers 2018-2019 Offseason Thread

[Kelleyman]

Beltre retires as a guy who can still play the game. OPS last year was slightly under 800.

He left on his own terms.

His retirement is best for the Rangers future but Rangers baseball just became a bit less fun

Excuse while I gush a bit

Thanks for the memories Adrian. You gave us eight wonderful years. I am sorry about how your first season here ended. You deserved much better than that. You will be missed. Thanks so much.

Beltre HOF bust will have plenty of visitors touching that head. One of a kind player. A reason why baseball is the great game.

Yes definitely missed

Got my stub from his 3,000th hit framed and hanging on the wall... what a day that was. So many wonderful memories from El Capitan.

Retire #29 now, Rangers.

I wonder if the Rangers will decide that they want to keep Profar at 3B for awhile and offer him a multiyear deal?

Would like to see a strong campaign from start to finish before offering him a multi-year.

Thanks for the memories Adrian. I was lucky enough to see two of the greatest play 3B. Adrian Beltre and Brooks Robinson.

I won't see anyone like him again

Sad to see him leave without a WS ring but he knew that wasn't going to happen especially with the Rangers

Probably unless something drastically changes between now and opening day

Agree

If he does have a really strong 2019 I would imagine that increases the cost significantly.

This is a good read

Especially.....sigh

I too am sad to see him leave. Period

Hoping Rangers win WS at some point and he is with the Rsngers in some capacity
