Texas Rangers 2022 - 2023 Offseason Thread

I want to see Reynolds as well.
Believe it or not the Pirates have a pretty good foundation and should be good in the near future.
I think they will want major league talent back.

I’m wondering if one of Dunning/or/Otto + Heim, Harris, Foscue/or/Duran/or/Smith, Winn & Roby/or/Vanasco could land Reynolds and Bednar.
6 for 2 special.
They need 1 SP & they need cheap w/ Team control. But somewhat proven- Dunning/Otto
They need a 2B-Duran,Foscue,Smith
They need a C-Heim
And they could always use a couple of top pitching prospects. Winn-Roby/Vanasco
And they could use a legit COF/CIF/DH big bat prospect like Harris.

I'd make that deal in a heartbeat.
Think Reynolds makes Texas a top-five scoring offense and it sure would rock having a top-level closer like Bednar.
Would also solidify the bullpen in general and would take pressure off of LeClerc and Hernandez (neither having to close). It's been a long while since Texas has had a great closer, to say the least.

Do people think Reynolds is top
Notch or is he just very solid?

 

[Hambombs]

Rangers just need to keep shooting for that upside

Yankees are usually tough to beat in free agency.

Not super likely at this point, but if they snag another one of these top SPs, wow.

The money being spent on free agents has gotten truly insane...

I think the money is about right bc of inflation..
The length of the contracts is getting insane imo..
38 should be the cut off lol

You are right on the insanity of the length of the contracts. But what athletes are getting paid has been insane for a while.

They are going to lose Devers now. A big mess

I hear that catching prospect Gabriel Moreno from Toronto may be available. I would be very interested in him.

I heard they were looking for C help?

MLBTR says they have two catchers that may be available and he was one of them.
