Texas Rangers 2021 - 2022 Offseason Thread

[True Rangers Fan]

I wonder if we will make a run at Freeman?

I'd love the guy here, but ATL is idiotic if they don't bring him back.

 

[saddles]

As high as they're drafting I doubt they sign any FAs that require them to give up a draft pick...

I think they will give up a second round pick, but not a second and a third.

Probably, not all the guys on that QO list will be seen as worth the Rangers second round pick though.

Man that’s a bummer for Chris Taylor.
He might as well accept it.

I wonder if the Rangers are interested in Kershaw since he didn't get a QO?

Exactly. I think we are willing to give up draft pick for top tier guy but no other

He seems like a guy we would go after to rebuild winning culture. Incentive laced contract.
I am not sure he would have huge demand. His health has to Ben huge factor

We have matched last year's offseason thread both in number of pages and in number of posts. What took 4 and a half months a year ago has taken us 5 weeks this year.

They have us getting Corey Seager and Kyle Seager
I don’t really want Kyle lol
Maybe a 1 year deal? But definitely not on a 3 year deal

 

[Kelleyman]

Wonder if we get Gray or Rodon

Some of these national guys should try to do a bit more research into what a team needs.

Not Gray please.

Rodon, or Stroman, or maybe even Kershaw.

Gallo wins a Gold Glove in RF.

any of them would be good. Not thinking Coors is gracious to pitchers but seems like Rodin has higher upside and likely more expensive

I read Rodon did have some shoulder issues late in the year.
