Texas Rangers 2022 - 2023 Offseason Thread

[saddles]

Haven’t had a stud outfielder on this team in a long long time.

The next one may be Anthony Gutierrez. He very well could be the real deal.

Honestly let the best men out of Smith, Duran, Thompson and Tavares play in CF and LF whatever that combination may be...Duran is the only one who's defense would concern me in LF or CF

Of the four, Thompson is my choice in LF/CF. He has speed that can help this team in different ways. Also he has had little time to prove himself in the majors hitting. Smith and Duran need more time too. Leody had improved at the plate and dropped off proving he can hit but also needs more time.

Is Bochy the best manager we’ve ever had?

Definitely hoping he is

That remains to be seen but based on what he has accomplished in the past he's the best manager.

Oates was my favorite Rangers manager.

Let them fight for it, I don't know who will win or nor will I speculate, but given some healthy competition hopefully someone establishes themselves... but I don't really think many of these trade targets are worth the potential long term costs right now (maasaayyyyybbbeeee bryan Reynolds but I don't like the cost associated with him), or are even an improvement over what we have

Since the Rangers are in the same boat as last year I'm guessing they pull off something again like they did with Porter last year, anybody have any thoughts as to who that might be???

You would have to have a guy like Porter available and one like Rocker. That might be hard to have line up again.

As of right now I'm guessing Thomas White who's committed to go to Vandy and is slotting in the bottom part of the 1st round...

The other is Noble Meyer who's committed to go to Oregon and is also slotted in the bottom part of the 1st round...

Crim goes 0 for 4 in his first Winter League game of the season.

I sure hope not. That means they would have to go under slot with the first pick.

 

[saddles]

It would probably be a good idea for the Rangers to trade for a comp pick.

 

[saddles]

It looks like there are several minor league deals going down on MLBTR. Looks like some teams are putting what appears as finishing touches on their offseason.

Who would you let go. Middle infielder? Foscue or Harris? Guess you are talking sandwich pick.
Wonder what the going rate on that is

The last time it cost them Alex Claudio. So, who is the equivalent? Brett Martin?
