I don't think they will sign 5 guys who have to have a lot of convincing. Maybe 3 total. Any others will most likely be guys happy to have a job.
well maybe 4, sign Kershaw, Story, Kyle Seger & Iglesias. trade for Ketel Marte.
oh and for you win the bidding war for Suzuki

Story and Kershaw would be a good start for contention. Keep your fingers crossed.

To me this is a guy worth the risk but yes we need that extension
I wonder what we would have to give up? Would Taveras, Walker, Otto, and Hauver be enough?

buxton isn't listening to extension offers. he wants to hit FA where he thinks he will get big bucks

No surprise. We need to payup and quit messing around or Story will be nothing but a bad dream. Evidently we know what he is asking so we either get it done or move on.

At the end of the day, all the Rangers can do is make their offer. It's looking like a very competitive market and it's possible that TEX could make an offer we armchair GMs consider to be fantastic, and Story could turn it down.

hopefully we aren't going the one player at a time route and are talking to a number of players. not just SS but other positional players we are interested in like other SS's, Kershaw, etc. who knows maybe signing Kershaw might draw others to sign

I'm sure they're in on Suzuki, but that's a different process. I'm sure they have multiple irons in the fire

I think it might be enough for them but too much for us unless we have extension

Probably right but If he get injured or has a slow start who knows.


I am thinking there is much under the table we are clueless about
