Texas Rangers 2022 - 2023 Offseason Thread

From Ken Rosenthal's column:

In the past two offseasons, the Rangers have guaranteed $760.65 million to those five players. And they surely are not finished. Japanese right-hander Kodai Senga could be next. Or maybe another free-agent starter such as righty Nathan Eovaldi.

At this point I'd probably put money on them signing him, too.
Think the pocketbook is open like 1990s Jerry Jones' Cowboys.

Could be. Nothing surprises me any more.

Boy, that is a very tall order. I think you are going to be a little let down.

I'm halfway to my dream

Well, I guess nothing big is going to happen until Monday at the earliest.

Well, that was really wrong.

They think this moves the Rangers up to about 84 or 85 wins..

This guy wants Rodon and a trade while Newberg is still obsessing about a trade himself.

i immediately discount anyone who slots Gray ahead of Perez

Jacob deGrom megadeal shows that even the mistakes are bigger in Texas

Six words came to mind upon hearing the Rangers’ announcement of the $185 million, five-year deal for Jacob deGrom: Not worth it. Not even close.

Lol at Heyman. Bitter because a NY team didn't get deGrom.

The aftermath has been the epitome of everything I hate about baseball media/social media.

That's bass ackwards of what I would have thought they would have done with his contract... (45/45/45/25/25)...

But I guess they have their reasons the CBT going up every year is probably one of them, loading up this year for a run is another and shedding some contracts in the future is another...

So now that they've shot a big load on DeGrom do they shoot another big load on someone like Rodon $30M or do they aim lower for someone like Senga $15M and another OF body like Bellinger???

I'd be happy with 27-8 starts and 170 innings per year at those ERAs...

Games started and Innings pitched pretty pessimistic

There are quite a few Ranger haters imo

Yo the vitriol provides more motivational fuel for DeGrom and Rangers. They hate TX and dare I say Astros included. Our only point of alignment
