Stoney Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 New ballpark, improved results? We shall see. Rangers trade Jonah McReynolds to the ChiSox for catcher Wellington Castillo and $250,000 in international signing money. Rangers will buyout Castillo’s contract and make him a free agent. Shawn Kelley, Hunter Pence, Edinson Volquez and Logan Forsythe have all become free agents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even though the old ballpark was nice I think the new air conditioned ballpark will be a lot more comfortable to set and watch a game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
galloping_gobbler Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 Rangers need to make a very hard run at Gerrit Cole. A rotation of Cole/Lynn/Minor would be a great start Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wtlobos Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 They should go after Rendon as well. Cole, that’s too much money. The back end of his contract will be terrible. At least with Rendon, his contract will age better as an infielder. Production from him everyday, to me is worth more than pitching every fifth day. Just compare Beltre and Yu’s contracts. Beltre’s was better. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoney Posted November 2, 2019 Author Share Posted November 2, 2019 https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.mlb.com/amp/news/2020-mlb-free-agents-by-position.html Rendon and Cole look like the only top tier free agents I’d be willing to break the bank on. Is ownership gonna ask JD to make a big move (FA signing, Trade) to help sell the new stadium? Other than that it could be another find a Lance Lynn or Hunter Pence deal around there.

This is according to Mike Bacsik on 105.3 The Fan. I would hope this to be true, but something tells me disappointment is ahead. Just don’t see Rangers front office competing with Yankees for Cole or Strasburg. Gut feeling says they go after Rendon to play third base. That might be the big splash. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtlobos Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 Rangers sign RHP Kyle Gibson to a 3yr $30 million deal. Solid pick up IMO. Akin to Lance Lynn and Mike Minor deals. If they can add someone like Ryu or Wheeler, they’d have as solid a 1-4 as anyone in baseball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stoney Posted December 10, 2019 Author Share Posted December 10, 2019 Minor, Lynn, Gibson, Lyles.....that’s a solid staff, if Lyles can pitch as good as he did in Milwaukee. If somebody can fill the fifth spot, the bullpen be somewhat decent, they could have them in a spot for a wild card push. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t know anything about the newbie but that that’s all we got for him is a head scratcher. Who’s JD sticking in RF? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
