2025-2026 offseason thread

Murphy is excellent with young pitchers and is probably gonna see a lot of time at DH this year. Alex loves having 2 good catchers so I don't think he would be traded even if he were completely healthy. The Rangers top prospect Walcott is a SS and is ready so the Rangers have a replacement.

You can find enough ABs for both Murphy and Baldwin.

I think I’d rather pay Kim $20m a year for the next three years than give up some valuable near-major league ready players to pay Seager $30+ over the next six.

My ump buddy said the Rangers started talks with Braves wanting Schwellenbach or Baldwin. Braves obviously balked and countered with two top-5 prospects and a couple of lower ones. They also said they'd take on full salary. He said no one has offered to take the full salary to date.

I know things change quickly and I completely understand if you guys don't believe me, but Alex was apparently given the full go-ahead to spend.

Nice try, Cy.
