Sources: Ohtani sweepstakes are moving along and the Texas Rangers and at least one team in the AL East has dropped out. Teams who feel they aren’t real players are beginning to take themselves out of talks.

Interesting Game 6 admission by Wash on @MLBNetworkRadio this morning that I don't think I'd heard: he said on each of the 3 pitches prior to Freese's shot over Nellie, he'd asked Gary Pettis to position the OF in "no doubles," but he failed to say that to Pettis on The Pitch.

Wasn't Nelly playing in so he wasn't the last one to the dogpile?

Anyways, not even worried about that game any longer and can just shrug it up. Redemption was made this year.

Random Rangers notes post winter meetings:

https://www.dallasnews.com/sports/rangers/2023/12/06/rangers-takeaways-from-winter-meetings-wyatt-langford-plans-an-al-west-mystery-and-more/

Quote

“I feel like we have certainty in terms of what we’re looking to do and I know that maybe a little bit different in terms of the speed at which we’ve operated compared to years past,” GM Chris Young said before zipping to the airport. “In years past, our team was vastly different. We’re at a different spot. We have a lot of core pieces returning. We’re in a great position. Now, there’s a level of patience required to continue to make good decisions.”

With that in mind, here are four other Rangers-related takeaways from the winter meetings:

1. Consider the Rule 5 draft Wednesday essentially a swap of pitchers. The Rangers lost right-handed reliever Justin Slaten (first to the New York Mets, who then traded him to Boston), but added right-hander Carson Coleman. Coleman might be a little more refined. He strikes hitters out at a slightly higher pace, walks fewer and has allowed only five homers in 98 professional innings.

Now, the downside: Coleman had Tommy John surgery last April (Rangers team doctor Keith Meister performed the procedure) and won’t be ready to start the year. Not sure when he will be ready. It’s OK. It buys the Rangers some time. Coleman can start the season on the 60-day IL, doesn’t count against the 40-man roster and can rehab at a leisurely pace. He need only be on the active roster for 90 days for the Rangers to hold on to him. It’s even possible that those 90 days could carry into 2025.

2. It certainly sounds like 2023 first-round pick Wyatt Langford is in the Rangers’ plans for 2024. With Mitch Garver likely out the door in free agency, the Rangers have DH at-bats open. Langford could get some at-bats at DH and also in the outfield, rotating some off time for Evan Carter, Leody Taveras and Adolis García.

“This Langford kid, he’s special,” manager Bruce Bochy told the MLB Network during the week. “Every step of the way, he just kept putting up those numbers. He’ll come into spring training. We’re going to stay open-minded.

“It’s going to be competitive. He’ll have a chance to make the club. It’s all performance-based. I don’t care how old they are. If we think they’re ready, then they’ll be on the team.”

3. The unsettled Bally/Diamond Sports TV saga cast a pall over the early part of the offseason, as well. The next big date in the reorganization case around the bankrupt regional sports network is Dec. 15 when a bankruptcy court judge could rule on Diamond’s reorganization plan.

The Rangers have a lot at stake. They are due more than $100 million for local broadcast rights in 2024, but under the Diamond plan, the Rangers would either have to take a significant cut or see their rights rejected outright. Before that happens, though, the judge must rule on the reorganization plan. If he doesn’t accept the plan, then everybody is back to Square One and in limbo longer. Once there is some finality to this case, though, it may get the market moving again.

4. The biggest mystery of the winter meetings not involving Ohtani might be whatever it is the Seattle Mariners are doing. They’ve traded off two bats in the last few weeks and now said they need at least two bats for the lineup. But after Ohtani and Soto, the market for bats is somewhat slim.

The Mariners might be the biggest threat in the AL West to disrupt a potential Rangers dynasty, but they constantly change out so many pieces, it’s hard to know in exactly what direction they are moving.

Good job cord cutters and ballys sucks guys. It was the exact same thing as Fox SW or HSE but you didnt want to pay for it. Now we cant pay our players

#268

Cord cutters were never fans of Rangers/Mavs/Stars.

We have this discussion way too often. The fans watched the teams, the front-runners jumped in September.

We won the fucking World Series in ‘23, remember that.

Mahle (rhymes with rally), 29, is expected to miss the beginning of the 2024 campaign as he continues rehabilitation from ‘Tommy John’ ligament replacement surgery performed by Rangers Team Physician Dr. Keith Meister on 5/22/23.

Don't we already have something like 12 pitchers in that same exact situation?

Damn, Rangers need to search under all the couch cushions to come up with enough to sign Montgomery.

Nobody ever quit on anything like you quit on mental development.

For those that didn't quit before the regular season even ended. 

A bottom of the 9th game-tying home run and an extra-inning walk-off in the World Series?! 🤯What else would be No. 1 on our list of Top Games in 2023?

CJ is out of the booth.

A huge thank you to Rangers fans and the Texas @Rangers organization for an amazing 7 seasons. This was a really difficult decision, but one based on family.

#293

I didn't like him at first but he's done a good job. I hope it's not pudge, mac, murph, or valle. Theyre fine for studio stuff and occasional fill-ins but wouldn't be fun to listen to for an entire season in the booth.

Valle still works for Seattle I believe, so he’s probably have to give that up to do more with Texas.

Lol. 
 

Unsurprisingly the Rangers are one of the three teams.I have no idea what goes into their decision on who to pay, but the Rangers being in the same boat as the Guardians makes no sense to me. https://t.co/McCnV04vgV
