Seems kind of light for Burnes. Heck of a move by the O's.
He might be a one year rental. I believe his contract is up after this season

Thanks for putting this together.
Ridiculous that Lowe, Heim and Jung are not in the top 10 at their respective positions. Some of those lists are embarrassing.
Lowe didn't perform up to his standards last year. We are all assuming or hoping it's because he was worried about his mother. Is she better or getting better?
Heim and Jung both had injuries at crucial times last year when lots of national folks were watching this team to see if we would actually make the playoffs. The team as a whole looked a lot better and more dangerous overall in the first half of the season than the second.

From a sports perspective, they just don't have much recent success outside of the Astros, so it's all they've got
Just a heads-up... Not sure how much lurking you've done on this Forum, but during the season there will be a Trash-Talking thread... maybe a couple.
Once the Houston people realized they had a baseball team (after winning the WS), they would litter our Season thread. It got so bad, that we asked the Mods to put a warning against Trolling on our threads. During 2023, they just couldn't resist and "accidentally" posted troll comments after the Astros would beat the Rangers and then they'd disappear when we won..

Welcome to the Forum.
It seemed like our rangers season thread from 2023 had 5 pages total of "accidental" Astro posts where they supposedly mistakenly meant to post on the Astro thread, but post on ours instead. Yet, it never seemed like a ranger fan had the same problem on their thread?

I live in Houston and have a great (friendly) trash talking rivalry with many friends. They are very proud of their AL West title and remind me of that every chance they get.

Adrian Beltre has selected the Texas Rangers logo to wear on his cap for his plaque at the National Baseball Hall of Fame. He will join Nolan Ryan (class of 1999) and Ivan Rodriguez (class of 2017) as Rangers wearing the Rangers T in Cooperstown.

I thought it would've been because of how long he'd been in the league prior to the Rangers, but the stats say that he didn't have his HOF career until he got to the Rangers outside the one year in Boston and the 04 season in LA.Grapesoda2525 said:Was it really a hard decision?twilly said:Adrian Beltre has selected the Texas Rangers logo to wear on his cap for his plaque at the National Baseball Hall of Fame.

Well that sucks on the streaming front. Sounds like at least one more year of paying Fubo.

The Rangers, Twins and Guardians will retain their streaming rights but won't be able to work out a new deal this year. For fans in those markets hoping for changes to the direct-to-consumer model, it seems they may have to wait another year, assuming everything ends up being approved in court.

With the Brewers trading Corbin Burnes, it appears Devin Williams (RH RP) may be available. He agreed to $7.25M ('24 Arb2) and a club option for $10M ('25 Arb3). Brewers are likely getting a barometer of what teams are willing to pony-up. I look for him to be available at the Trade Deadline.
I would think the haul for 2 years of him would be substantial. However, the Brewers didn't net a substantial haul for 1.5 yrs of Hader. We'll have to see where our prospects are in mid-season, I suppose.
Williams: (28): 61G, 1.53 ERA, 0.920 WHIP, 58.2 IP, 87 SO (13.3 SO9), 28 BB (4.3 BB9)
ETA: 36 Saves
Would you include a guy like:
Dane Dunning (29) controlled with Arb through 2026. $3.325 in '24.
Heaney (33) $13M in '24, then FA.
Will Heaney be more valuable because of BP experience to be moved when any of Scherzer/Mahle/deGrom come back?! Could he pitch well enough to get a QO and net a Comp pick?
What's the problem with Fubo? I have it and don't have any issues with it. Much more reliable than DirecTV. It's a little clunky, but it works.Quincey P. Morris said:Grapesoda2525 said:A deal has been struck with Bally.Quote:
