Lot of "IF's" if you ask me. 1.will we resign Monty 2.Is Scherzer fully recouped? 3.Gray remains a question, he stayes injury prone. 4. What is Heaney's status?

Heany has an option to opt out.

Lowe is smoking a cigarette. Would never thought that.

Funny he pulled his shirt off too. Did not see any cigars lit
I was fortunate enough to make the parade. I was able get some pics. Pretty close spot
Glad I went but super crazy traffic
Just getting home

He might take that option.
Try to get a multi year deal

Heany has an option to opt out.

Yes he does but he has to wonder if he would get more than 13M for 2024. Or he might think he could get a multi-year deal. Big gamble

Never know what is agent is telling him.

I don’t know but he’s just pitched on WS winner so they might think his value has gone up and opt out. But then again maybe he thinks stay the team goes big again and next off season his value grows even more.

 

[scotsman1948]

I’m looking at needs for next season and we need a closer, 3 or 4 relievers and a DH. And possibly another starter

105.3 The FAN on my way home was giving an over/under on how many bench clearing brawls there will be between Houston and the Rangers when they play next year.

I heard that. Bascik said at least 3.

I remember when the Rangers offered Gallo an extension and his. Agent said no. He ended up settling for less than what the Rangers were offering. Sure glad he did.

Congrats on winning the World Series. I was pretty much rooting for 'not Astros' but in retrospect you guys winning is the best result.

As long as this guy is on the mound for one of them.

Appreciate it.

Scherzer was not himself in the ws. His velo was way down. We do not know at this time he will be any better. Gray was out a lot this year with injuries. That has to be a concern.

Gray made 29 starts this year. 32 is about as many as is possible.

 

[saddles]

We had 10 pitchers start games this season and only one of those was a 1 inning starter. And look at how handy some of those starters were in long relief during the playoffs...

If you look at the stats you'll find 31 players pitched in Ranger games this season, you can never have too much pitching just have to figure out how to best utilize it...

We really need to acquire some AAA depth starters. Kent and White just aren't enough by themselves.

He had to come out several times usually for blisters.

It was the strangest parade is that there was so much time in between vehicles most if the time.

I understand but in Heaney’s case he has an option to stay at 13M or gamble on getting a multi-year deal. He and his agent have until Monday(?) to opt in or opt out. And it will affect other Rangers decisions like do they make an offer to Montgomery and hope he takes it also by Monday(?). My thinking is Heaney ends up staying and the Rangers resign Montgomery

 

[scotsman1948]

He had to come out several times usually for blisters.

And he still started 29 games and he has a year left on his contract so what do you suggest they do with him

My son lives in Houston and he says the Rangers have stirred up their ire against us

Easily could be some brawls but maybe Maldonado is not with them
