Texas Rangers Baseball Thread

The Rangers claimed pitcher Nick Goody off release waivers from the Indians last week, and he has accepted the assignment to the Rangers. He should be a part of our 2020 bullpen.

The Rangers had a meeting Sunday with top free agent Anthony Rendon and his agent, Scott Boras.

The bidding on free agent pitcher Zack Wheeler has gotten much higher than he is worth, so the Rangers are out.

I'm going to be ready for Rangers baseball. Tired of the Cowboys and their crap.

The Rangers have reached two year deals with starter Jordan Lyles and reliever Joely Rodriguez.

JD is being pretty aggressive this winter.

I don't think Rendon will be playing third for the Rangers next season...

Yes. Many believe he will be a big league manager.

There are indications that Arte Moreno is all in on Gerrit Cole. He didn't learn his lesson with Albert Pujols and Josh Hamilton....

My prediction is Cole to the Angels for 9/330.

I had the team wrong, but I was almost right on the money with the contract.

Cole to the Yankees for 9/324.

Mazarra to the White Sox.

Mazarra to the White Sox.

They got a Prosper kid in return.

I'm perfectly happy not signing that douchebag Josh Donaldson.
