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.

They got rid of the free board on IC

I just recently joined 247 and I’m enjoying it.

Yeah that was disappointing. I’ve read the IC free board for close to 20 years.

What was Belicheat thinking !?

I don't see Pierce Johnson getting 7 million or McKinley getting over 5. I might be wrong but teams seems to going towards more velo.

Give me one of those two and this bullpen would be complete and really damn good.

60 days until pitchers and catchers report. Today wouldn’t be a bad day for AA to add a starting pitcher who could be trusted to start a playoff game.
