Kershaw staying in LA. Hopefully they're talking with the reds.

Don't mind missing out on Kershaw. I think he's on the verge of a big-time breakdown. Back issues. Elbow issues. 14 years of mileage. It's on the way

Same here. Would have to be a very team friendly deal. 1 yr at $10MM or so.

We go from Opening Day at home against the Yanks to Opening Day in Canada then the home opener against the Rockies. Blech.

Oh well, two days ago I'd be ecstatic if you told me this.

Personally, I think they ought to tell them that they'll have to play stateside again if that regulation is in place.


This will be interesting to follow moving forward.

4/11 vs Colorado will be the new home opener. Not sure yet where the Yankees games get added back into the schedule.
And is that game now redesignated as Game 1? Or is the ticket for Game 5 now a home opener?

I thought I read somewhere tickets for Opening Day would still be good for the new Opening Day, so it seems that game has to be redesignated.

The OD tickets you purchased will be good for the new OD. 4/11 is the new Game 1

Big offensive power bat, decent behind the plate. We just traded a utility guy with a sub par bat for a starter with a plus bat. Big W and I actually like this trade for both teams.

Twins catcher. Good hitter with power. Had some minor injuries last season.

Could our infield possibly be

Olson
Semien
Seager
Story/Bryant

That would be the most ridiculous infield ever

And Garver behind the plate.

Heard we've at least kicked the tires on Freeman; not sure I place much stock in that becoming reality but the guy I heard it from is trustworthy.

Nah it's Atlanta or NYY for Freeman

Does this mean Trevino or Heim is on the trade block?

Would almost have to be Trevino, wouldn't it? Heim is younger, a switch hitter, and as good defensively.

Correction here. Appears Freeman likely going to LAD

Yes, Heim is much better defensively.

What are the other needs for the Rangers currently? SP, OF, 1B, and what else?

I've seen we have interest in Olson, Soler, Castellanos.

I don't think we go overpay for TOTR type of SP especially since we are thinking this is not the year for a playoff run. Solidly the lineup this year and then have Leiter, Gray, and Wynn anchor the rotation in 23?

It's looking that way. I'm not a fan of the Perez signing - he may give us some innings but that's about it. Not sure what's left as far as FA starting pitching, but maybe a trade is in the works.

Just to keep pulling that thread of thought - will April 12 then go back to being Game 6, or is the whole season going to be rewickered?

And BTW - this Garver trade is giving me an erection that's lasting longer than 4 hour.

I guess the thinking is Jung will come up this season and solidify as the starter. I understand the trade value IKF brings but I thought he could probably hold up defensively at 3rd, and an infield of IKF, Seager and Semien plus whoever at first felt like a potentially pretty damn good combo

Jung had shoulder labrum surgery (non-throwing arm, weight lifting injury) and is basically done for the year

I'm guessing they'll sign a stop-gap for this season, because they earliest Jung will be back is late August or September, if at all.

I wonder if IKF wasn't happy about moving back to 3rd and requested that they explore options for a trade. Good return for him, but the timing is curious after Jung's injury. Maybe they'll try to go with Ibanez at 3B.

Had forgotten Jung got hurt. That makes me scratch my head even more. I guess it would make sense if IKF had asked to be traded or didn't want to play 3rd.

I guess now look to move Sam Huff to 1st or to move him for someone?

My guess would be Solak/Ibanez at 3rd for now.

Seems like Bryant would be a good fit considering our needs at 3B and corner OF.
