Texas Rangers 2021 - 2022 Offseason Thread

[Kelleyman]

Guess a little tongue in cheek re IKF.

I don’t think he will fetch much in a trade but he does to me seem very versatile as a UIF steady defensively but I am thinking in two years we can easily have Davis W as mentioned to take that spot.
Really have more guys to try out. Have seen though what we have with Solak and IKF. Just hope we are not signing guys like Holt and or Culbertson

I think the rumor that the Rangers could sign both Story and Semien is absurd. Why spend the last few years accumulating so many good MIF prospects and then sign free agents to fill both holes? At some point some money is going to have to be spent on the other two up-the-middle positions. Why spend so much where you have so many high level prospects, when there are other needs? Yet, the rumor won't go away?

Unless they already had plans to turn all of Foscue, Duran and Smith into outfielders?

I think our farm system will be in the top 5 by mid year.
We should have a ton of guys take a step forward and also adding a handful from the draft.

Time to buy stock In the Texas Rangers

I’m ready to see “The Crimm Reaper” in the bigs

5 Texas Rangers prospects who could make the big leagues in 2022

The Texas Rangers could be big spenders this winter in free agency and bring in some big names. Here are some the Rangers could promote from the minors.

Some of the teams transactions adding and subtracting for rule 5 are beginning to trickle in

figure the Rangers will wait until 4 or 4:30 ET

Yes, I would imagine we will see the rest, including the Rangers, pretty soon now. I wonder if we will grab a player or two off of some other team's scrapheap.

White gets into a bit of a jam in the second by giving up a couple of singles. A strikeout and a double play gets him out of the jam unscathed.

Foscue and Duran are playing today, and it is the last game of the season unless things work out for them to be in the championship game tomorrow.

I wonder if this is at all for Seager's benefit.

were he and Woody that close?

 

[scotsman1948]

are the Rangers thinking of signing 2 of the SS class?

 

[saddles]

were he and Woody that close?

That's what I keep reading. I don't think they decided to keep Woody for that reason, but maybe the timing of the move is for Seager's benefit. I believe the last one happened not long before the season.

Yes, the last extension was signed on March 24, 2021. So this one was almost 4 months earlier.

 

[Kelleyman]

2023 I would think unless we strike out In player acquisition Woody is expected to compete and at least be relevant playoff wise

We shall see. At least he gets a chance but I am not much of a fan of him. He deflects well but not inspirational and wished he played slome of the younger guys more last year

 

[saddles]

The third inning is Owen White's worst of the fall. He gave up 3 runs.

 

[Kelleyman]

To me the other plus from a FO standpoint is his willingness to be coordinated with them.
