Texas Rangers 2025 Spring Training Thread

So who do we drop to add Houser? Robert? They show an affinity to keep Winn

Let's see if a trade comes along that might open up a spot.

Was nice to see Burger get his first HR in Seattle.

I think he is going to hit somewhere between 30 and 35 of them this year.

Burger is an automatic favorite as he is a father of a special needs DS kid as I am
I get to coach these softball 2 short seasons a year. What a great bunch

Garabito and Houser both have a chance I think.

I'm just not a fan of Garabito. He's been rather mediocre on a consistent basis.

Agree and certainly not high on Robert either.

I am not crazy about him either. I think that particular spot calls for a long man who can be sent back and forth to the minors at times. There aren't too many guys to choose from with those qualifications. I would rather trade for someone who could handle that role, but I don't expect the Rangers to do that. I certainly don't want to take a young starter like Leiter, Teodo or Santos and put them in a role like that.

I guess it is possible that Garabito could be better this year. Even though he is 29 years old, last year when he came up was his major league debut.

Evan Carter has the flu that has been going around camp.

How long will Leody hang around before CY realizes he has little to offer on the team going forward.

I am not quite as down on Leody as you are, but I am glad he isn't a regular here any longer. I think they will trade him, but I believe that will most likely not happen before the latter stages of spring training. I think they want to be sure they stay healthy before trading him.

Leiter should pitch multiple innings today, also.

 

[saddles]

Jeff Wilson thinks Ahlstrom has a decent chance of making the team.

 

[saddles]

Hopefully Bradford and Leiter each go 3 innings today.
