World Series Champions, Texas Rangers 2023-2024 Offseason Thread

[Duane1952]

Bleacher Report has the Rangers farm system ranked at #5.

Ohtani is not even charging them interest. The IRS should step in and make the Dodgers pay taxes on the free interest.

It looks like 46 million fo to the cap for the next 10 years which softens the blow.

But the buy now pay later philosophy is maddening

This may have more problems for MLB than meets the eye at the moment. At some point a cap must be established. The price to see a game can have negative effects.

This doesn't sound right.

That is messed up. This should not be allowed. There needs to be a limit on deferred money. This will be someone else's problem in 2034.

Shohei Ohtani’s contract structure should have the MLBPA up in arms

We’ve known since he announced his decision on Saturday that Shohei Ohtani would be deferring at least part of his whopping 10-year, $700 million

It is gaming the system.

Any subsequent championship will be cheapened like the Astros is.
Not in the spirit of true competition SMH

As it stands now, sixteen Dodger players will be paid more than Ohtani in 2024. I imagine that by the time the season starts he will be more like twentieth.

In an article predicting where the remaining top free agents will sign, Jim Bowden predicts the Rangers will sign both Montgomery and Hader.

It appears that both Crim and Smith have taken some time off from playing in the Winter Leagues. Maybe they are done until after Christmas.

I hope so.

 

[WastinSomeTime]

This is such nonsense. MLB needs to fix this. I can see this really creating some problems for MLB down the road.

 

[saddles]

He is a guy I thought could do well as a swing man here.

 

[saddles]

I understand the starting pitcher market being held up waiting for the Yamamoto signing, but there is nothing keeping the Rangers from signing a reliever.

The Royals are getting things done today.

 

[Uncle Siggy]

It is gaming the system.

That's the way I see it too, how much crazier is it going to get before MLB does something about it? Defer money to their Great Grandkids???
