I am pretty proud of the Rangers as an organization for avoiding arbitration for 25 straight years, now.
It seems like such an easy thing for a franchise to do in order to establish a good reputation among Free Agents and to keep players happy. It's always boggled my mind to see teams argue over what is effectively pennies on the dollar in the grand scheme of these contracts. I'll never forget how dejected and upset Corbin Burnes was after he went to arbitration with the Brewers.
If Roki were to choose Texas, where would it rank in the hierarchy of Rangers history for signings/trades of established players (ie, ignore homegrown talent for this exercise)?
Referencing my comment to you on Twitter from earlier this week, Dunning or Taveras plus Kevin Miller’s proposal of Osuna and Bratt for Helsley keeps the Rangers under the first CBT threshold, right? I would guess the Rangers likely make that trade, but do the Cards?
All of the Roki dates and the “you can use THIS money but can’t use THIS money” is giving me tired head. Just let us know where he signs (Rangers)!! I know we would like to sign a closer, me personally, I would love to see what Teodo can do.
@Jamey I’m interested in the lifetime subscription option. Can you please contact me directly about it? Thank you!
You bet! Stand by.

The Padres are shopping Robert Suarez. Are the Rangers players on that front? Should they?
