ESPN website has a tweet from Buster Olney a little bit ago saying Rangers are exploring dealing Young again with the Rockies. I bet Vlad is going to wait that out hoping to go back to Texas.

IF true, then Vlad will probably go back to Texas for the same amount we were going to sign him for. Oh well.........

I will be astounded if we land Vlad. I'll be even more astounded that Texas actually got someone to trade for Young!

Why trade Young and eat some salary + pay Vlad? I'd rather have Young's production for the same money.

For the same reason we should be doing the same thing with Scott and Vlad...You trade Young, get some talent for him and fill in a player who may give you similar offensive production.

I have gut feeling Texas gets him now. Probably for the 1yr/8.5mil they offered him earlier this winter or something similar.

I agree. Its time to head to Spring Training with the Reimold/Pie platoon, which is fine by me.

At THIS point, I am all for giving Vlad a 24 hour time frame. Don't let him use us as a last resort when the Texas deal falls through. Sign our offer by midnight Saturday or its off the table.

      Draft Targets 2 Months Out

      Maybe Hall would be better off if we had done that.  He sure seemed to make a lot more progress as a reliever than he did the last 2-3 years in the minors.   I’m all for seeing what McDermott can do in the bullpen.   Still doesn’t mean I wouldn’t be interested in adding Brecht as well.   That’s not saying he’d even be ready to contribute this year but maybe. I think Sale, Crochet, and others prove that you can fast track as a reliever and still go back to starting.   Anyway, I think I’ll just leave it at agree to disagree.  I’m looking for elite talent at #22 even if the guy profiles as a reliever.   I’ll take that over a Billy Amick type.

      Everything about Adley's throwing has taken a hit this year.  His pop time used to be top tier and he's degraded to around league average.  That's on top of his propensity to throw the ball to Narnia.   Some of the throwing issues I'd excuse because no one is throwing runners out at a good clip anymore (the base size and pickoff rules really made meaningful changes there) but he's not really a plus guy with the run game anymore.  He's still elite at blocking the plate and framing so that's good.   Wieters had a pretty steep drop-off through his mid-20s defensively as well.  It's hard to be Ivan Rodriguez and be an elite thrower from the backstop for like 15 years straight.

      2023 19th Round Pick (#571): Kollin Ritchie - SS - (HS) Atoka HS (OK)

      Watching this kid at OK State kinda hurts. Starting shortstop for a top 10 program as a Freshman. He’s gives off some toolsy vibes.

      Self edit - I was filtered on contract value not aav. There’s 5 or 6 relievers in the top 50 aav per year. But that’s still nothing, since it shows even back end #2 starters make more than all but the elite closers.  as far as Brecht, I’d have him going up the minors as a starter just like baumeister  I want our minor leagues and FO looking to maximize long term value of our pipeline. If we need a closer or setup man for this year, I’d rather deal norby or someone to acquire it. hell, we kind of already have Brecht at home  his name is chayce McDermott. I’d rather bring him up down the stretch this year than start a first round picks clock and waste a chance to develop him as a starter. If we valued immediate bullpen help over developing starters, hall would’ve been a full time reliever 2 years ago rather than toiling away in Norfolk trying to get him command sorted.

      Of course Holliday as well. Anyways Mayo, Basallo no. As for Kjerstad?, depends on how Stowers does with his chance and what their going to with Mountcastle and to a lesser extent O'Hearn.

      If I get Brecht I’m getting him in the ML bullpen ASAP and pulling the Chris Sale/Garrett Crochet move later on if it’s warranted.

      Only thing that runs Mateo of 2B is injury or Holliday.
