Just need to trade him to Tampa or KC.

He is pitching in the Puerto Rico Winter League.

Tampa would turn him into a Cy Young candidate lol

Ahh gotcha. So what do you think happens to him this upcoming season?

In an ideal world where the Rangers win the WS... he gets some confidence in PR. Then in ST he experiences the WS excitement and has a great ST. Starts in AAA, gets a call-up in June as a middle reliever and begins his career.

The other side of it is he falls apart in PR and the Rangers give up on him.

White jerseys with the World Series patch are available in the team store today


I can't believe that y'all get a 50% discount in team store. How do you control yourself?

Seager and semien with silver slugger awards. Rangers win the team silver slugger award.

Instead of taking a second mortgage for FA pitchers…. the Rangers should spend that money on Tampas pitching developmental staff

Also consider, we have:
#4 Brock Porter (eta 2025)
#5 Jack Leiter (mentioned)
#8 Owen White (mentioned)

If for once in franchise history we could hit on Porter, Leiter, and Rocker . . . we'd be so good it wouldn't even be fun anymore.

Nevermind, saw your answer about online orders for jerseys.

FYI: if you are looking to order a jersey to be shipped, call the Grand Slam Team Store. I called yesterday afternoon and was able to order a couple for my kids over the phone (adult sizes for college and high school kids... not sure if they have youth sizes). They are blank on the back, so you can pick whichever player/number you want ($20 extra). Or you could save a few bucks and just leave it blank on the back if you want.

ETA: these are WITH the patch, not just regular jerseys.

So you can order a blank Rangers jersey with the WS patch on the front, and add a certain player name and number??

Huge find. Thanks!

Mr. Gigem gave us a heads up a day or two ago that they had them available. I am not certain about the WS patch/logo on the front, but they do have one on the sleeve. Maybe both are on there, I didn't ask.

Just call them. I don't think they do a lot of phone orders, but you can do it. They had to find somebody with the order form or whatever, but we got it done eventually.

I'm fine with paying a little for shipping vs. driving 3.5 hours up there and back!

No, I wouldn't do that! They took my order and charged my card yesterday. We'll see if it shows up. As I mentioned, it sounded like they don't do phone orders often. I called late yesterday afternoon, maybe try calling later in the day and the same person will be working.

Whoever answered I just said hey, I heard yall have Rangers world series jersey's in stock. I'm from out of town, can I make a phone order.... and off we went. It did take 10 or 15 minutes after waiting on hold a bit.

It's possibly they took an order or two and the manager decided they weren't going to deal with shipping orders out. Supposedly I have an order that should be on the way at some point. We'll see.

Just called and was told they don't do orders over the phone. So, I guess I'll have to drive out to Arlington to get one.

6yr/$30M per => $180M

He is 30. Agent=Boras

I hope he gets in that neighborhood. His work for the Rangers alone increased the value of the Franchise by far more than that.... double? Triple?

Rangers would likely be able to backload him. He made $10M in 2023, so something like:
$13M - 31yo
$30M
$30M
$36M - 34yo
------
$36M vesting/option
$30M

Scherzer and Heaney come off the books after 2024, so that keeps the payroll in 2024 down and replaces allocation from them to Monty.
