Surprisingly they keep him. Guess he is heads for 60DL

I think that was decided when they left him on prior to Rule 5.

The Brett Martin situation makes the lack of signing relievers even more puzzling, and it makes the decision to keep him on the roster prior to Rule 5 more puzzling.

Yeah I thought he was a non tender candidate

 

[Kelleyman]

Watch Garver be a snag.

Kind of don’t care. He is no second coming.

Yeah, I am getting tired of hearing about him.

From Jeff Wilson:

The Rangers expect to land three notable prospects Sunday, the first day for the new international signing period, including another one of Vladimir Guerrero’s sons.

This one is Pablo Guerrero. He’s is built like Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and is a corner outfielder who will likely end up playing first base. He’s not as advanced as the Blue Jays All-Star, so don’t be shocked if he doesn’t reach the majors by age 20.

The Rangers are also planning to sign corner outfielder Geisel Cepeda, who played professionally in Cuba before defecting two years ago. He’s an intriguing prospect with plus raw power who makes a lot of contact. The Rangers think they can tap into more than he has shown.

The prize of the class is shortstop Sebastian Walcott from the Bahamas. He’s the regarded as a top-10 prospect in the class and has agreed to a bonus reportedly around $3 million.

Outfielder Anthony Gutierrez headlined the 2022 class that also included outfielder Jose de Jesus. Gutierrez is one of the teams’ top-15 prospects and could surge into the top 10 this season.

Trading for veterans is often not a sure thing.

Good thing we have depth

Mr. Crim is going to be special in spite of all the doubters.

It's concerning to say the least. Saw now where the Cubs are in on Matt Moore and Chafin. CY needs to make some moves or our BP could very well be much worse than last year. Silly to go out and acquire all this SP and leave the BP in worse shape, than the disaster it was last year
