Texas Rangers 2024-2025 Offseason Thread

It sounds like the Rangers are in the final stages of the new TV deal and have a good idea about the revenue amounts.

From Evan Grant:

The Rangers, in a statement to The Dallas Morning News Saturday, expressed optimism that their deal would soon be completed. The expectation is the Rangers’ deal would be more lucrative than what they would be offered in a return to Diamond, but the Rangers took a discount of nearly $15 million in their deal with Diamond in 2024. A renegotiation with the company was only likely to further discount the rights.

“The Rangers continue to work toward a resolution for the club’s television broadcasts in 2025 and beyond,” the statement said. “The club remains committed to providing extensive viewing options for Rangers fans, and we are optimistic about delivering on this effort. We look forward to sharing these options in the coming weeks as details are finalized.”

It should already been done.

I think we have a shot.

Yeah would love to get him and get several more relief pitchers

 

[Duane1952]

I’m getting the feeling that the Rangers are going to run the same lineup out there except for Leody. Thinking that Garcia, Lowe and Heim are going to repeat what they did in 2023 is a tall order. CY said the same thing last season. These guys are going to turn it around.

From Jon Heyman:

Yanks and Mets both raise their bids into record $710M to $730M range as things heat up in 5-team derby.

Seems like they’re happy signing pitchers to minor league contracts.

MLBTR is trying to make it look like that the Rangers are interested in Devin Williams but we know the truth

If the pitchers they have signed to minor league contracts, are going to be in the pen. They will be 4th place in the division.

The Yankees bid $760 million for 16 years.
