https://twitter.com/BleacherNation/status/1598832487714631681 Darn we lost one of our AAAA utility infield guys, now the Cubs only have like six identical guys left! STAC Goat posted:I honestly forgot Kris Bryant existed. He actually hit very well when healthy this year, he just wasn't healthy much at all. He's been having recurring shoulder issues for a while and on top he's also now apparently developed plantar fasciitis.

Not really, Rangers were the front-runners. I know the "donsen't like to play in New York" poo poo is overdone, but I really thing the he was not very happy being the face of the franchise.

Apologies to Rangers fans, but they are the default team in a non-licensed MLB video game to me. They are a team in a movie about major league baseball that does not have the rights.

After signing Semien and Seager to megadeals, their best hitter last year was Nathaniel Lowe. They have zero pitching. Martin Perez put up an inexplicable 5.0 WAR season after being slightly below league average as a starter. Kumar Rocker is expected to make the jump and is just about their only hope at SP.

Red posted:Don't ballplayers pay taxes on every applicable state you earn income in? Yeah but they also get paid and taxed per game, at least that's my understanding. Signing with the Rangers means 82 home games + 9-10 in Houston + 9-10 in Seattle, which is like 100 out of 162 games played in states with zero income tax. That ain't nothing in terms of money made back, particularly when you're talking about almost $40M annually.

Honestly it would be pretty funny if when the Astros finally have their windows close and the Mariners are the heirs apparent the Rangers jump to the front of the line Although I'd prefer the Astros window to remain open through the life of that deGrom contract so

Alfred P. Pseudonym posted:Shouldn’t Leiter be ready soon as well? Ah true. Yeah, the Rangers used two really high picks on "MLB-ready" college pitchers. I forgot about Leiter but yes he and Rocker are the big hopes for the Rangers as far as turning around their starting pitching while they have this extremely high-talent core of free agents.

Jack Leiter looked really bad this year in Frisco at a level where he should be dominating (AA). He finished the season with a 5.54 ERA and his walk rates are not good at all.

I'd argue against this if the franchise hadn't decided to fade into dogshit after letting Darvish walk away. Hell, this news does nothing for me. Sure, he's a good pitcher. Gonna need a lot more than that to be decent.

Penisaurus Sex posted:Rangers looked farther along than the absolute basement but man you sign Degrom and you’re actually making a run what, 3 years in? If everything goes right? Their infield is real good, their OF is absolute trash offensively, and their bullpen is a tire fire for the most part, but this also opens up the potential to trade some of their minor-league arms to help fill those holes. They could be at least a WC team as early as next year if things break right.

Inspector_666 posted:Rocker is also very much not the sure thing everybody thought he was before the Mets balked. They also had an absolutely abysmal record in one-run games (9 wins behind the pythag record). The bullpen was really bad, but that's probably the easiest fix. 3B and LF were both like the worst position for any team in baseball. Josh Jung should be filling the void at 3B. They have some superfluous middle-infield talent that is pretty well thought of (particularly Duran) that I expect to get moved. I'm expecting them to add another SP and an OF. With a little bit of improved luck, new additions, and call ups I don't think a wild card slot is out of reach.

deGrom is great but he's also a 5 inning pitcher and gets hurt literally all the time. The Mets should be fine without him.
