Texas Rangers 2021 - 2022 Offseason Thread

[saddles]

Any guesses for dates when signings and trades, where the Rangers have been rumored to have an interest, will get done? How long after the lockout ends will each of these guys sign or be traded? Probably most within 3 or 4 days.

Kershaw
Gray, Sonny
Suzuki
Castellanos
Olson
Conforto
Soler
Rodon
Schwarber
Diekman

This is the order I think they will sign. I left a space between each timetable tier. For example, I think Suzuki and Castellanos will go very quickly, probably within 24 hours or so. Then the next tier a day or so later, maybe less than a day later. Then, so on and so on.

Suzuki
Castellanos

Conforto
Soler

Kershaw
Rodon
Schwarber
Diekman

Olson

Gray, Sonny

I wouldn't be surprised to see the Rangers find a quality guy to sign on a one year deal within a few days of the lockout ending. Quality guys on short term deals will most likely be a lot more available than usual.

Hypothetically, if a deal is agreed to today and signed tomorrow, my guess is a bunch of deals are completed by EOD Friday.

Rule 5 draft? A week from tomorrow???

He has the inside source in all of this

Bob will be first to break any agreement

I have really enjoyed his work throughout this, along with Chelsea Janes, Jesse Rogers and Jon Heyman. I have also learned what a bitter soul Jeff Passan is.

I think Passan article put pressure on owners. Not big on Heymann. Where sin Rosenthol. Must think Bob has an inside source from owners

Seems like you could end lockout so things can resume but yes not official until ratified

I think Passan's bitterness is the only thing putting pressure on something. It is putting pressure on his heart and soul. Eventually it will eat him up from the inside out.

Now, when it comes to bitterness, Adam Morris still has him beat. Passan seems to be in a distant second, but maybe that is because I read a lot more of Adam's tweets.
