Honestly, the Rangers signing 2 of the top 4 FA SS and neither being Story would be some top shelf Rangers shenanigans.

I just really hate Seager's injury history

Report: "Belief" That Corey Seager Will Sign Monday

Free agent shortstop Corey Seager could be nearing his next contract, as The New York Post's Joel Sherman reports that …

Seems to indicate the Rangers signing Seager?
Eh who knows at this point.
Crazy day it’s been

The Semien signing was an overpay in both dollars and years and I think it was a great move. The Rangers needed to show they were really going in hard and going to make a huge splash in FA. This sends a fantastic message to both fans and other FA's and adds much needed offense. The MIF prospects are still a ways out and can be in play for the Rangers in other positions or as trade chips.

I even think the Kole move adds much needed power bat to play as well. No issue with that move either.

Now for that SS, Suzuki and another pitcher

The Rangers Just Spent a Bunch of Money. Now They Should Spend Even More of It.

It’s time to put “no half measures” to the test.

"Yet with nearly a quarter of a billion already on the felt, it is precisely what Texas should do. The Rangers have to give the baseball ecosystem an even greater jolt, and Seager or Story would achieve that better than any signing since Adrian Beltre. And Texas shouldn’t stop there, either. Take Jamey Newberg up on one of his trade suggestions and flip some of the newly superfluous prospect depth in the middle infield to Oakland for Matt Olson, the big bopping first baseman Nathaniel Lowe aspires to be but no longer would have time to mature into. Bring home native son Clayton Kershaw while they’re at it, for the short-term boost atop the rotation and, even more, the cultural cachet of the greatest baseball player Dallas as ever produced finishing his career at home. Maybe shell out for Seiya Suzuki, too, because fiscal irresponsibility in sports goes hand in hand with fun and vibes."

Nick Castellanos Seeking Seven- Or Eight-Year Deal

God how I would hate to be a Mets fan

I would guess the hold up is because the Rangers prefer Seager and they are waiting for Boras to be done with the Scherzer deal. I would really prefer to get Story.

What if Story decides he won't wait and the Rangers lose him waiting on Seager, and then Seager signs elsewhere? This waiting is driving me batty.

Okay Dodgers, step up and make Seager an offer he cannot refuse.

Okay Rangers, step up and make Story an offer he cannot refuse.

I like that better.

There has been none of the madness I was promised so far today.
