Boch gone for good?

Offense gone for good?

DeGrom, Nate and Leiter is a nice start. High hopes for Leiter to take another step next year.

Early 2026 Rangers slogan candidates:

- Meritocracy, this time for realz.

- The offense (probably) can't be worse.

- Don't leave! We're going to move the outfield walls in 10 feet!

Think Kumar should retrain to be a one inning late-game reliever…

FWIW, I heard Nadel on Friday on 105.3 and he said (with the usual disclaimer that he hasn't asked him directly) that he would be very surprised if Bochy wasn't back based on their conversations.

What's realistic at catcher? Higashioka is under contract for $6.75 million next season, I'm fine with him as a backup/extra bat. Anyone think that Hiem shouldn't be non-tendered or traded?

If I never see Heim mope and pout walking away from the plate after flailing and missing, it will be too soon.

Heim is disappointing. He had some real stuff in him a couple of years ago, but seems like he got too soft after the WS experience. He lost his edge and is just content with life, just my theory.

Pretty sure every bullpen arm outside of Garcia is a free agent.

The first of the three poorly timed Rangers children were born yesterday, with Josh Smith up first with a baby girl. Seager and Semien on deck.

So they CAN score?

Nailed it (not you, Nadel. You're just the messenger).

Thank God. I appreciate him giving us what was left of Bochy magic. 

CY has a brutal offseason ahead of him. Hope he makes the right moves.

Also - this is fucking ridiculous. What a waste of a season.

Thanks Bochy.  You gave me what I waited My whole life for.  23 was legendary ROAD

Great, shitty and meh..., it was a good run. Boch was a cool cat. 

Do we(they) retire Bochy’s number? Lead us to our first Championship.

If we're pointing fingers about what happened this season, my first one is at that fat fuck Joc Pederson, and whoever brought him here.

He came in completely out of shape with a clown attitude, just poisoning the clubhouse.  Those stupid glow-in-the-dark batting gloves.

Never intended on being a leader, didn't want to work.  A shit show from the second he set foot here.  The few sparks toward the end mean nothing.  

If there were a way to eat all the money we owe him and cut ties, do it.  Get him as far away from this team and especially these young guys as possible.  Though I know that's not going to happen.

Yeah, they would have cut bait with him after the God awful start except for the contract.  So he will be back.

Sounds like Skip is the guy, no external candidates currently being considered.

He's young and leans into analytics. 

Hopefully he has learned some shit since his first stint as a manager that featured all kind of WTF.

He already has experience managing for a cheapskate franchise.

Fine.

Just keep Maddux.

Then go sign Julio Franco as player/hitting coach. He's probably still swinging a bat somewhere in Mexico with an OPS 200 points higher than 90% of our guys now.

I just wanted a little whelm 

That wasn’t the question. Who else would you rather have? And you can’t say Bobby Valentine

Sgt Hulk’s whole shtick is to whine and bitch. 

Oh I’m well aware he’s a whiny, sniveling cunt. I just wanted to see one last time if he has any functioning brain cells or if I really should have put him on ignore a long time ago.

Projected arbitration numbers from https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2025/10/projected-arbitration-salaries-for-2026.html

I'm guessing top three, at least, aren't staying.

Webb, Haggerty. Sure.

Definitely Smith. That's a family sized Costco Kirkland organic bag of whatever bargain.

Burger. Eh. I guess.

Duran. Bye Felicia.

Jung. Yeah, who doesn't want to see more guaranteed 0-2 strikeouts on a high fastball?

Jonah Heim (5.097): $6MM
Adolis Garcia (5.095): $12.1MM
Josh Sborz (5.055): $1.1MM
Jacob Webb (5.046): $2MM
Sam Haggerty (5.007): $1.4MM
Josh Smith (3.129): $3MM
Jake Burger (3.127): $3.5MM
Ezequiel Duran (3.050): $1.4MM
Josh Jung (3.023): $2.9MM

Question for those that follow it more than me - Does Evan Carter still have a (bright) future with the Rangers?

I'd be very surprised (but happy) if we kept fewer than five on that list.

Number 2 of the poorly timed Rangers children Camden Seager born on 10/4. Semien TBD.

The question is more will Evan Carter be looking like the Aluminum Monster in a couple years...

If he isn't in traction for his back every year, he could be very solid. That's a gargantuan IF.

baseball gods payback for 2023...At least I got to see one magical run.

We replaced our manager from the 2010 Giants with a dude from the 2011 Cardinals

All I’m reading is, Championship.
