Texas Rangers 2021 - 2022 Offseason Thread

[DTC]

How insane would it be if our new double play tandem up the middle was Story at SS and Seager at 2B? Lol
Less than 1% chance i would imagine

“The Rangers are expected to be aggressive, with a high focus on building a strong organizational culture. The decisions of the free agents will largely come down to dollars, but rival evaluators are keenly aware that Seager has a strong relationship with Texas manager Chris Woodward, and note that Story grew up in the Dallas/Arlington area. There is speculation among rival evaluators that the Rangers could double-dip among the elite shortstops, signing two and shifting one to another position.”

I love his swing. It looks so simple and easy. Hard to believe his exit velocity. I saw a video of his 500+ foot homeruns and couldn’t believe it left that bat lol. The swing looks slow but obviously isnt

Jeff Wilson reports Evan Carter should be ready for ST.

 

[DTC]

I really hope we don’t sign Kershaw. Maybe he will have a great turn around, I know he’s not that old but it seems like his arm is trending down.

 

[saddles]

Chris Seise is running, but will not be ready by the beginning of ST.

Also from Wilson:

• The biggest player at instructs is Bayron Lora, which really isn’t anything new for him. The good news is that he was at instructs after a difficult offseason in which he was the driver a single-car wreck in the Dominican Republic in which a passenger was killed. All reports on his fall were positive. He has tremendous power, which he showed just hitting flips over the fence. Even the older prospects watching were awed. Lora turned 19 last month.

same here.

if he wants to come here on a hometown discount for a couple of years, cool. otherwise, pass.

Looking at Evan Carters OBP in A ball do you think he starts the year in high A and moves to AA shortly after, if he’s hitting well?

I think he would go back to the level he was at until he starts to dominate there. After a couple of months they might move him up to Hickory and maybe a brief appearance in Frisco toward the end of the year. He probably needs to hit for a lot higher average before they advance him.

Yeah I noticed the low average but very high .438 OBP. Figured maybe he needs to face pitchers throwing more strikes

Free agency is nearly upon us. I hope the Rangers look to get their guy early. Especially if they are not going after Corea and Seager. No reason to wait until these sign especially if we get an overpay early

There is no way we can one of these guys at huge discount so I hope we don’t over negotiate

If we land a top target, the contract amount will piss me off. I 100% guarantee it.

I never learn from my mistakes, haha.

I should clarify: I'm not saying the Rangers shouldn't do it. It's more about being pissed at the market in general.

It is weird that one player can take up 1/2-1/5 of a teams payroll of 26 players.
It does suck to see a guy sign a big long contract and then suck the whole time.

I seem to be one of a few who belives in salary caps.
