October 31Oct 31 Author Quote Mike Maddux, the Texas Rangers’ pitching coach for the past three seasons, is leaving the Rangers to join the Anaheim Angels, per multiple reports.
November 2Nov 2 Did Maddux also coach closers? Sucks, but not that big a deal, really. Get another good guy. Won't matter anyway.
November 6Nov 6 Tomorrow is the player/team option deadline, surprised Joc hasn't opted in to his $18.5 million yet.
November 6Nov 6 There's really zero gain to do it early. Dodgers might call and pay him $20 million to be the clubhouse snack coordinator.

November 7Nov 7 Next relevant deadline is the tender/non-tender on November 21, a/k/a judgment day for Heim and Garcia.
November 12Nov 12 Jank played for 3 MLB teams this season, guess he’s tired of the rat race. We shall see how Ragsdale does as Beasley’s replacement.
November 12Nov 12 I like having Jank on the staff. In case of emergency, break glass and toss him in the microwave for a few seconds and he could probably get a clutch hit or great defensive play once in a while. And having ANY new third base coach is probably addition by subtraction.

November 18Nov 18 https://x.com/Rangers__Nation/status/1990810549601370195 Looks like the end of the line for Garcia and Heim.
November 18Nov 18 Those have to be fun phone calls to make. “Listen, we have two players we don’t want & aren’t good anymore. Interested?”
November 18Nov 18 The comments on that twitter post are from a lot of the same people that comment on the football gameday thread. It’s like each one is trying to outdo the previous on the dumbassery.
November 18Nov 18 Stupid social media. Tons of traction on a story that Framber Valdez is signing with the Rangers. Click the link - it literally says parody account.

November 19Nov 19 Catcher is such a terrible/crapshoot position that it wouldn’t be a shock if Heim goes somewhere else and ends up in the top 15 of catchers in WAR next season.
November 20Nov 20 Heim is a decent talent but he checked out, got too soft, lost his motivation. He very well could get a boost from a change of scenery. Just my theory. He seems like a good dude, and I'm glad he was part of the Word Series team, but he gone.
November 22Nov 22 He's a Ranger legend but I'm glad we let him walk. Curious to see where he winds up and if a change of scenery can fix any of his issues at the plate. I wish Jonah and Sborz well, too. We'll always have '23.
November 22Nov 22 Assuming Seattle hangs on to arozerena, I wonder if they would have any interest in bombi. RF/DH isn’t exactly locked down.
November 22Nov 22 Author So we're keeping or trying to keep, presumably, Burger, Smith, Jung and Duran. Burger has to be better. He had bursts of offense, just needs consistency. I will say his glove was better than expected, although I think stats or advanced stats or whatever didn't show it. Smith is a no brainer. Most consistent and healthy Ranger playing all over. Jung. He needs to work on plate discipline and laying off bad 0-2 pitches every day from now through February 20th. Sigh...Duran. Put him in the bullpen. He can take Maton's spot.

Saves like $5mm per year for the next 3 years. Then you have 2 more years of Nimmo after that for $20mm per year. So we took on total dollars but cut payroll in the near term.
November 24Nov 24 Author Wow. Did not see a Semien trade happening even being in salary shed mode. So theoretically more power assuming Marcus keeps sliding there. Who the hell knows. Nimmo is not a young guy either and bats come to Texas to die lately. So now what? Little Josh playing 2nd this year? Opening for Walcott to be in the infield maybe next year? Crazy. Another "thanks for helping win a WS." Someone update that photo.
