Texas Rangers 2022 - 2023 Offseason Thread

[Bmurph]

Everytime we think the FO is done, they sign someone else.
I don't think they are going to go to such lengths to improve the rotation just to leave the bullpen untouched.

and the offense too for that matter. There is a lot that can be done to upgrade and we have yet to spend in prospects, not that I am looking to unload anyone. As a matter of fact I am good with the frivolous spending of cash and keeping all our valuable prospects in our back pocket for a rainy day

How funny

9:02pm: The Rangers have announced the signing of Eovaldi. Nick Mears has been designated for assignment to clear space on the 40 man roster.

Wasn't Mears just picked up and Spencer Howard is still on the roster....? Damn Michael Spencer Kirkman Howard, how do you do it?

A few days ago Adam Morris was making some remarks about how he doubted Blaine Crim would ever see significant time in the big leagues. I had commented on that thread and I just received a notification that Blaine Crim liked Adam's tweet. It is going to be so sweet when the Crim Reaper proves everybody wrong.

I sure hope Crim proves him wrong.
I’ve been a big fan of Blaine’s.
He’s hit very well all the time

You are the one who got me on board the Crim Reaper bandwagon.

Heck yeah
He did great at AA last year, one would think he will get a chance soon?
Not sure why he’s not even on the top 30 prospects list.

If they sign him, I will trust that they have questioned him thoroughly to see if he will be a fit in the clubhouse.

He hasn't been a good teammate wherever he's been, and that's including college. The Dodgers - as a whole - wanted nothing else to do with him.

As a pitcher he's an 'A' and as a person he's an 'F'.

 

[Uncle Siggy]

It is definitely a risky signing.. his velocity has started to trend down. Let’s hope for the best

He's never been a big strikeout pitcher he's more of a pound the strike zone kind of pitcher, sometimes to his detriment with HRs...

wish him the best of luck, bummer to see him go. he had some huge postseason performances for us in 2018 (especially that WS performance) and against the Yanks/Rays in 2021. Hope he can put together another 2021 for you guys.

Thanks.

Good job on the Eovaldi signing but with nothing happening on the bullpen side yet I would have liked to see Cueto signed.
Eovaldi averages 5.5 innings per start and Cueto 6.5 which can really save the bullpen.

I saw him pitch when he was a Giant vs the Dodgers and although it was a few years ago, he’s tenacious, it’s hard to knock him out of a game.

Gotta like it.

My guess stayed the same as it was a few days ago. The 85-90 range.

Agree but only if somehow a real closer appears.

Oh I think the same range but signing improves us

 

[Kelleyman]

Owen White. The one prospect who might be untouchable

Too early to tell.....if they improve the lineup, it could be that with health.
