Texas Rangers 2019-2020 Offseason Thread

[Uncle Siggy]

Difference is Arenado is a gold glover and Castellanos is far from it.

You've got Frazier to play 3rd, (probably for 2 years) he's no slouch defensively and decent with the bat. Castellanos will play 1st or at least that would seem to be the plan unless they decide to move Joey back to CF for another (hopefully last) year. Between the 2 they should be able to be close to or surpass Arenado stats offensively. No matter what happens it will be an interesting year with the "improvements" made to the pitching staff and hopefully to the batting order.

You never know who might be out of the hunt by the trade deadline that has a 3rd baseman to trade. The Rockies might suck and Arenado might force a trade at maybe a better price than what is being asked for currently, you just don't know.

It would be great to get an elite talent position player but with all the holes we have, not thinking unloading prospects just yet is the move. If we can wait to get one via FA then great or move prospects for final piece

 

[Kelleyman]

Spring training is almost here come mid February. Makes this trade a bit improbable for now.

Good news so no blips with Nadel and co. So wonder if contract is up with Fix and announcers. Hope some switches are made there

Ha was just looking at this. Wonder what we could get him to sign for? Have to think about a guy like Gallo too

JD can't low ball here.

 

[Kelleyman]

He apologizes but hates that all this did not stay in the locker room

The bad thing about signing Minor to an extension, is that that means he stays in the rotation until his contract is up even if he starts pitching badly. Right now, the only one who is proven enough and young enough to be worth that risk is Gallo and I am not even certain about that. I don't know if we need a second Elephant.

What Elephant?

The elephant in the room no one wants to talk about.

Well re Gallo, we have 2 more years after this of big raises and he has Boras. Have to think they want him to be eventual face of the Rangers

And this elephant is here for another year?

 

[Kelleyman]

Wonder if he can play some 1B

Until his contract runs out, and if he puts together a good stretch at the end of that then they probably pick up the option.
