Texas Rangers 2018-2019 Offseason Thread

[saddles]

Thanks to an epic fire sale, Rangers should have company at bottom of AL West

Seattle is doing it right. Looks like when we get rebuilt we will have some company.

Nationals To Sign Patrick Corbin

 

[saddles]

Corbin has landed a $140MM guarantee.

 

[saddles]

The going rate for an ace is $23-$30million AAV. You have to take an awfully big risk, one that can hamstring your budget for years, or you can try to grow your own. Corbin is probably one that will work out, but most of the rest do not.

MLB RULE 5 DRAFT PREVIEW (Pt.2): STARTING PITCHERS - 2080 Baseball

None of the starting pitchers look that appealing to me.

 

[True Rangers Fan]

Nationals swooping in and stealing a guy that was definitely going to the Yankees or Phillies.

We will see a lot of Robbie next year. He signed a 1 year deal with the Astros.

We will see a lot of Robbie next year. He signed a 1 year deal with the Astros.

Would like to have signed him for one more year.

i also saw a series of trades that the writers on the Nolan Writin' site thought out during the Thanksgiving week:

1. Nomar Mazara & Jose Leclerc to Tampa Bay for Matt Duffy 3B, Guillermo Heredia OF & Shane McClanahan LHP

2. Joey Gallo & Hans Crouse to San Francisco for Chris Stratton RHP, Mac Williamson OF & Hunter Strickland RHP

3. Delino Deshields Jr to Seattle for Ryon Healy 1B/3B

4. Joe Palumbo LHP, Kyle Cody RHP, Yohander Mendez LHP & Jose Trevino C to Washington nationals for Tanner Roark RHP & Michael A. Taylor CF

5. Jurickson Profar to Arizona for T.J. McFarland LHP & Kevin Cron 1B

not crazy about any of them but it is interesting how their minds work

Those trades are awful

Can we claim all of them?

Lost Cheech though to Rockies

Mets looking for outfielders. Wonder if DDJ or Choo could be moved there
