Texas Rangers 2021 - 2022 Offseason Thread

[scotsman1948]

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

i think if the Rangers have certain players on their A list that they might consider it

 

[scotsman1948]

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

which makes me question if we should consider him & Kershaw

Seager 10 years $320 million

I don't know which of these is more outlandish... the Scherzer prediction or the Kershaw one.

The following free agents are ones who Jim Bowden listed the Rangers as being one of a few beSuzuki. For that player. Only one player had the Rangers listed first on the short list of best fits. That one player was Suzuku.

Taylor, Cinforto, Castellanos, Suzuki, Baez, Bryant, Story, Semien, Correa, and Seager.

My fault with Kershaw. I fixed it. It is one year at $15 million.

i agree Scherzer is way too high and Kershaw would laugh at both the 1 year and that low ball $15M

Originally it was a typo that said 1 year, $5 million.

Only reason we sign Bryant is to move him to LF, right?

Top 25 MLB free agents (and guessing where they sign)

Houston Astros shortstop Carlos Correa, Atlanta Braves first baseman Freddie Freeman and Los Angeles Dodgers right-hander Max Scherzer headline the list of MLB free agents.

They say we will sign Story,

Has to be a mistype. 50 mill a year SMH

Yeah, he has played all four corners and even some games in CF the last couple of years. To me, him or Freeman would be an acceptable alternative to not getting a SS. With Bryant's status though, we could sign Story and him and only lose one draft pick.

I imagine he gets $40 pus AAV considering the team that signs him doesn't have to give up a draft pick.

That would be an off-season with huge upgrade

I will be watching this

Go ahead and throw in Suzuki.

 

[saddles]

Let's go the Triple S route.

Story, Suzuki, and Stroman.

According to Bowman you could get the three for $72 million AAV.
