Texas Rangers 2024-2025 Offseason Thread

All of that roster fodder I posted about earlier remains with the team. The front office sure likes those guys.

On the other hand, it is extremely difficult to get our front office to think very highly of those prospects we have that are not extremely highly touted. It often doesn't matter how well they perform, if they aren't extremely highly touted they are worth very little to the front office.

Out of this bunch Acker is the most likely IMO

I actually think Crim is more likely, but Acker will be gone, too.

Even if we do not lose a single player in Rule 5, it is foolish to take that chance with players who are better than what you are keeping.

Okay, it is time to gear up for the Winter Meetings. That will be here in less than 3 weeks.

We still have an open spot to pick and maybe we drop someone if we get someone in a trade

They haven’t done much at winter meetings lately. A lot of rumors and they do nothing.

From Scott Lucas:

Detroit selected RHPs Chase Lee and Tyler Owens, both acquired from the Rangers last summer as part of trades for reliever Andrew Chafin and catcher Carson Kelly, respectively. I certainly wouldn't have predicted Lee's addition based on how he performed in Texas, but he did improved his strikeout and walk rates in AAA Toledo. Texas had acquired Owens for OF JP Martinez last winter. He's pitched well in AA Frisco but I honestly hadn't watched him carefully enough to develop much of an opinion. Catcher Liam Hicks and RHP Joseph Montalvo, two others Texas shipped in those trades, were not selected. Detroit also designated for assignment former Rangers RHP Ricky Vanasco.
