As far as Luxury Tax salary goes, the Rangers have $108 million going to starting pitchers this year. If you don't consider Cody Bradford a starting pitcher you can take $770,000 off of that figure.

Over the next 1 to 3 years that needs to change. They are going to have to develop several rotation pitchers.

Those were the five guys Evan picked who he says needs to step up this spring.

Are the Mavs and Stars free to choose next year or are they tied up with Bally for a longer time period?

From Evan Grant's article:

A Houston-based US Bankruptcy Court judge on Friday gave oral approval to plans for the parent company of Bally Sports Southwest to continue to hold the rights for 2024. Some unsecured creditors of bankrupt Diamond Sports are being given the weekend to further review documents, but a hearing is set for Monday where the final motion is expected to be signed.

Judge Chris Lopez said he “happily approves” of deals to keep the Rangers, Minnesota Twins and Cleveland Guardians with Diamond for 2024. “It’s a huge step forward.”

Jon Morosi thinks Snell and Montgomery could sign one-year deals and become free again next year.

"Clearly, the market has not unfolded the way they expected, but both are young enough that they can have a more successful experience on the open market during the 2024-25 offseason. Of course, the only way that happens is with a strong performance in ‘24; the chances of that improve by signing early enough to have a steady competitive progression into the regular season."

Glad they are cracking down on this.

I sure was hoping that Bally’s wasn’t broadcasting rangers games this season.

Seems a bit of limbo as there has been some broadcasts on 21 in DFW

It is a heavy luxury tax but wonder if we could defer some money if possible to get Monty

 

[saddles]

I missed that by 3 days. Lol

So, Josh Smith goes from #47 to #8. Before being traded here, Jordan Montgomery wore #47 for the Cardinals. Coincidence?!?!?!

Still remember when Mitch would hit crawler killers to right field and scare the shit out of me.
