They will probably shop Duran & Leody & others for relief pitching

I would.

 

[Kelleyman]

I hope they give Duran another shot at regular playing time next year, since he's still pretty young. Patience paid off with Leody. Why not Zeke?

I hope he gets regular playing time if even in AAa ready for a callup
Hate to see him sit

 

[armadillooutlaw]

Heard a couple of days ago, before game 5 that Othani is very interested in the Rangers.

That would be interesting!

 

[scotsman1948]

Ian Kennedy announced his retirement

 

[scotsman1948]

That would be interesting!

10 years $477M with incentives and escalations that take it to $600M. Don’t see the Rangers going there

He has legitimate power and had a .300 batting average for a good chunk of the season. Would be stupid to trade him, IMO.

He's coming off tommy John and won't be able to pitch until 2025 right?

But you would trade an integral part of the regular lineup

The pundits are all saying 10 years and close to 500M even with that

Agree and no need to.

Lowe? Yep, I would. He regressed back to just being an above average hitter. He's a nice player but he's close to maxed out.
Duran's only 24 with more power and room for growth.

Then pass

 

[Kelleyman]

Still thinking about that Marcus Semien knock that gave us the 5-0 lead. The captain came through so appropriately

It was at this point I knew the Rangers were going to take it and my jitters started to turn to joy and relief So awesome

 

[WastinSomeTime]

Where? They’re going to probably play Carter, Langford & Garcia in the outfield with Lowe, Semien, Seager, Jung & Heim in the infield. And they probably re-sign Garver to DH.

He would be a good guy to have on the bench since he can play infield and outfield.

 

[Sir Robin Of Camelot]

I’m sure he’ll look just fine in Yankee pinstripes

 

[scotsman1948]

We just have to disagree on Lowe.

Same… I let out an “Oh my God!” and my wife said she could see a couple of tears. It was the moment I allowed myself to say “They’re gonna win this damn thing.”

 

[DT LUNA]

Then pass

I would pass also. We just won WS without a high dollar pitcher w/TJS and no guarantee he will return as good as he was.

 

[scotsman1948]

He would be a good guy to have on the bench since he can play infield and outfield.

And in a package he could bring a good relief pitcher and could really get the playing time on a new team that he won’t get here

 

[DT LUNA]

He would be a good guy to have on the bench since he can play infield and outfield.

So can Smith and we don't need both. Also I hope they keep Jankowski as a backup OF.
