I have a seasons predictions thread up if anyone wants to have some fun making predictions for the 2024 season.

Neto should not have been brought up though
Then they lost Shohei

Neto was brought up at the beginning of last year. Schanuel was brought up mid season of last year. Neto played 48 games and Schanuel 22 in the minors and both considered MLB ready at call up.
The highly touted Jo Adell has been a mystery.

Staff Reaction: Wyatt Langford Makes Opening Day Roster

The one question waiting to be answered all Spring has been whether or

I still wonder if the Rangers could trade Heaney and Taveras and use the money to sign Montgomery to a deal paying him $16 million this year and $30 million in 2025 with an opt out available to him. I believe they would save $14.5 million on Heaney and Taveras combined, with Taveras being replaced by someone making the minimum factored in.

From Jeff Wilson:

"Manager Bruce Bochy said on Saturday that Seager and Jung will play tonight. If they feel good Tuesday morning, they'll play in both Boston games."

This sounds like they will finalize the roster Tuesday morning.

My nephew purchased a ticket for me for opening day. This will be my first time attending opening day.

Here is Keith Law’s answer to a question about Wyatt Langford's value for fantasy baseball

Keith: I’m a big, big Langford fan; I had him as the No. 1 prospect in last year’s draft class before the rather unfortunate injury he suffered, although Dylan Crews was also pretty worthy of the top spot. I do think the hype around Langford has become so much that he’s going to have a hard time living up to it. He’s a future superstar, but even future superstars can struggle in their first attempts to hit major-league pitching, and Langford has so little experience at any single stop in pro ball that he hasn’t had to face pitchers two or three times and go through the typical adjustments that happen when you’re in the same league for a couple of months. And the Rangers have depth in the outfield/DH, with Evan Carter already there, Justin Foscue at least ready to hit in the majors, Adolis obviously locked into a spot, and Leody Taveras worthy of a starting job. I thought his path was clearer when Josh Jung was likely to start the year on the IL, and any time there’s a surplus like that it makes it easier to send a rookie down if he struggles. Big-league pitchers are pretty good at finding your weaknesses, even if minor-league pitchers have not.

I don't see why not. Montgomery was so important to our run last year. I see Houston was listed as one of the teams that showed Interest. I would be sick if he signs with the Astros

Taveras has always had talent to play OF but his ability to hit consistantly suggest to me he should be traded.
