Texas Rangers 2021 - 2022 Offseason Thread

[saddles]

I think the local guys are reluctant to go there as they would be perceived as giving the vote of no confidence for the current outfield and

They do not want to jeopardize their access to player interviews or as a naysayer
Akin to when Dale Hansen got kicked out of Cowboys. Mild theory

You could be right. It just seems for some reason that no one wants to touch that subject with a 10 foot pole.

Actually though, isn't reporting about the possibility of signing Suzuki and acquiring Olson just about the same thing.

Still think it's a matter of it currently being a non-issue, not an issue they are purposely avoiding discussing.

I am not talking about the Rangers not discussing it. They wouldn't discuss it if no one asked them about it. Even if they were asked and put off the answer it wouldn't mean much to me.

I was referring to the local media.
The media talks about things that are currently a non-issue all the time.

It's more or less a "whaddya think will happen" conversation with no real purpose other than to pass the time. Basically what we do here. That they're not engaging in that particular conversation means about as much as the Rangers "taking away" Willie Calhoun's number.

I guess they only mention important things like when the Seager bobblehead night will take place. Or the possibility of having Gallo back. Lol

Right now, yes.

They're focusing on the guy that just signed the biggest contract in franchise history. Bobbleheads are a huge fan favorite.

The fallout of this signing as it relates to the farm system is something that will be dealt with down the road. Right now is not the time for the local media to focus on that, either with their reporting or their conversations with fans.

Gallo part got added...

Great point that should highlight why they shouldn't be taken that seriously, with regard to what they do or don't talk about.

Hey, they are all we got. We have to put up with them and sometimes they have to put up with us.

My guess is the Rangers out bid somebody other than the Dodgers. Once the Dodgers got Turner there was no reason to go after Seager with serious money.

Not me. It's all I can do to put up with this motley crew we have here. And I imagine putting up with me is no picnic either.

Wish I had thought of that first.

But there's no time for medicals, so that seems risky.
