It’s all about the leverage

The Rangers have around 70 players to consider. Josh Jung, Davis Wendzel, Owen White, Cole Winn, Luisangel Acuna, Dustin Harris, and Josh Smith, to name a few, are not eligible until 2022.

Unless they are rostered all these guys could easily need protection

Right @saddles ?

Time for the Texas Rangers to get comfortable with the idea of blank checks

The Texas Rangers know they're at a disadvantage when it comes to free agency, so they must be comfortable with the idea of a blank check.

Just curious to hear from all of you.

What kind of stat line would you expect Jung and Ibanez to put up if they played roughly 140 games next year?

Me?

Jung- .265/.330/.450 20 HRs 25 doubles 70 RBI
Andy-.270/.320/.450 15 HRs 30 doubles 70 RBI
About the same expectation.

I think Ibanez #s are about where they will be at peak.
Jung I see getting even better in 2023 .275/.345/.475 25 HRs 30 doubles 85 RBI

Myself, I think you are asking us to do something that is impossible. I would hope Jung does better than that, but I don't see how anyone can be very sure about his slash line.

Could the Texas Rangers sign 2 of the top free agent shortstops?

The Texas Rangers could look at a bold strategy by taking two of the top available talents from the same position, and here's how they could make it work

not sure about the 70 but i quickly identified around 10 that i would hate to see the Rangers lose in this Rule 5 Draft
