Texas Rangers 2024-2025 Offseason Thread

[Kelleyman]

Our current pen looks atrocious. And I am afraid much of what we will see in the pen on the 2025 Opening Day roster will be made up by mostly those same guys.

Maybe but it is good to put a pencil and paper to it

I think the plan presently is as follows:

Inexpensive free agent
Inexpensive free agent
Sborz
Pennington
Latz
Anderson
Garabito
Leiter

Of course, I could be wrong and they could only be planning for only one Inexpensive pensive free agent.

i pray you're wrong because that's a "we've quit on the season before it's even begun" bullpen

A few teams have already started making 40-man roster moves within the past hour or so.

Some teams are announcing some DFA as well.

At some point this winter I expect Sam Huff to be traded. I wonder if that will happen in the next couple of hours. Maybe, Blaine Crim, too.

you're probably right but my gut is telling me that both will be on the bench to start the season

Saddles have you heard anything on how we are going to watch the Rangers next season.

 

[saddles]

Nine teams have made 40-man additions at thus point. The Rangers always seem to bring up the rear in things like this, so we may not hear from them until right before the deadline.

Saddles have you heard anything on how we are going to watch the Rangers next season.

Nothing definite. There is talking about building a network of local stations like years ago and maybe adding streaming. Nothing definite though.. Evan mentioned today that he expects something by January 1, but he admitted that he hadn't heard from anyone in the organization. That is just when he personally thought it would happen by.

Personally, I think they are far enough down the line that they have to have a rough estimate in mind about TV revenue. There are probably lots of details to work out though.

 

[saddles]

I wonder if the later decisions and announcements about roster moves indicate that some DFAs are involved and those players have to be notified first.

Like, the Cardinals just added 4 players and also DFAed a player.

Well I had hoped some trades had gone down to free up spots
Watch Acosta go unprotected and Maybe Stephan

If they protect Latz he will start out on 25 man roster

Tekoah Roby was added to the Cardinals 40-man today.

Well, he is already protected. They would have to DFA him to not have him on the 40-man.

 

[saddles]

With less than 30 minutes to go, only 11 teams have added players to their roster this afternoon.

 

[saddles]

The Rangers aren't keeping Coleman. 4 spots are now available.

 

[saddles]

From Texas Rangers PR:

Rangers transactions for Tuesday:

-INF Max Acosta contract selected from Frisco
-RHP Winston Santos contract selected from Frisco
-RHP Emiliano Teodo contract selected from Frisco
-RHP Carson Coleman returned to New York-AL

The Rangers have 39 players on their 40-man roster.

 

[saddles]

I believe we could easily lose the following in Rule-5.

Acker
Crim
Magdaleno
Garcia

Out of this bunch Acker is the most likely IMO
