Texas Rangers 2021 - 2022 Offseason Thread

[DT LUNA]

what and where have you been reading? because he sure looks and talks like a cancer

His attitude could certainly lead to one if not already.

 

[Kelleyman]

So, you would hold it against the front office if they do sign him?

Ha good question. I try not to hold grudges but definitely this signing would lack a bit of luster.
Grudges can be counterproductive in ones life

That one can be for free

 

[Kelleyman]

To me it would be ridiculous to sign both Story and Semien. I would hold that against the front office. It would really make the Gallo trade look bad if they traded for 3 MIF and then went out and acquired 2 MIF in free agency. Not to mention Foscue and Acuna.

I get that given our infield prospects but it just shows how much I would prefer other guys than Corea

 

[Kelleyman]

The Corea garbage re Jeter and the whole Astro fiasco and him really jumping out of Houston with no finesse makes me think he is Me first player vs team oriented

 

[Kelleyman]

Maybe these guys are much more professional than me and there are times take talent trumps chemistry but my experience is a team with a prima donna player alienating a team can ruin good players

Fact Jack.

C - Gomes/Heim
1B - Lowe
2B - Ibanez/Solak
3B - Jung
SS - Story
LF - Suzuki
CF - Tavares/Peters
RF - Garcia
DH - Bryant

Rotation: Kershaw, Gray/Stroman, Martinez, Hearn, Dunning

AAA/Bullpen Reinforcements: Otto, Allard, Howard, Alexy (AAA)

Big day for former Rangers greats...

A. J. Pierzynski, Alex Rodriguez, Mark Teixeira, Prince Fielder, Joe Nathan, and Tim Lincecum all appear on the HOF ballot for the first time.

I meant more that it would affect your confidence in the front office to get us where we want to go. That when it comes time to weigh if you support current management, would that decision come into play and have a chance to be a difference maker in how you feel about management?

Would you feel exactly the same about them no matter if they sign Correa or not?

If it takes both Story and Semien to make up for not acquiring Correa, you must feel more positive about Correa than I do.

The Corea garbage re Jeter and the whole Astro fiasco and him really jumping out of Houston with no finesse makes me think he is Me first player vs team oriented

Didn't you pretty much feel the same about him a few weeks ago though?

[saddles]

Okay, time to get Suzuki signed.

We shall see but to me it looks like the FO has made no public effort to engage Corea. I will weigh in on the moves when and if they happen.

Lol. Okay.

I'm with ya. We're all just spinning in circles until something gets done.

JD mentioned that the Rangers left 3 open spots on the roster because of how fast free agency is moving. It sure is hard to find evidence to support that over the last several days. It has been moving about as slow as molasses for almost a week now.

There have been far more transactions at this point than I would have expected, and also we don't know how many conversations are taking place behind closed doors.

I disagree, plus Martinez is just a bridge for the next guys to get ready, Also, I think Otto and Alexy could use some development time as Otto has barely pitched due to injuries since he was drafted, Alexy skipped AAA last year and obviously didn't pitch the previous year or the first part of this year

Plus I always liked Martinez when he was here, would like to see his hard work pay off for both of us
