Contract says Rangers must release Martin after 2019. Well we arent the Rangers..... probably just the way that was phrased and not a real loophole in this contract.

as little value as Allard has, i doubt they give him away for a two month rental.
Allard is shot. Getting anything for him is a win imo.

They just shared his story during the game. He apparently gave up on baseball due to an injury, and decided to start pitching again at a later age. Was discovered pitching in the independent league and then caught on with the Red Sox minor leagues.
At first reaction I thought this was an overpay. I went over to Fangraphs and realized they now have Allard as a 40+. Crazy how much his stock has dropped.

It's not a huge deal, we can always re-sign him, but he barely has much clock time in the majors. So i'm not sure how he'd enter FA after the year.
If we win the NLDS this year, nobody will complain about it being an overpay.

It's an overpay for a rental. But I doubt teams were valuing Allard that highly.
appears he is a FA. still fine with it

Allard barely has any value, getting a good BP arm is a somewhat win for AA.

His numbers have been fine for his career... xFIP of 3.28 for his career... also 1.47 BB/9 for his career.

Baseball Ref says he’s a free agent after 2023 but that’s a mistake. His unique contract signed after a Japan stint stipulates he’s a FA after this year.

Where does Martin slot in our pecking order of pen? Right now the way Snit has been managing it:
CL- Jackson
SU- Swarzak
7th- Sobotka/Newk
LOOGY - Minter/Blevins
Middle/Long - Tomlin/Walker
Who is odd person out?

Here's some more about the contract
Chris Martin signed a 2 year / $4,000,000 contract with the Texas Rangers, including $4,000,000 guaranteed, and an annual average salary of $2,000,000. In 2019, Martin will earn a base salary of $2,250,000, while carrying a total salary of $2,250,000.
Further down it shows he's Arb2 eligible next year and Arb3 eligible in 2021.

But Allard was going to be one of the centerpieces for the Thor-Diaz deal.

As of now, Sobotka.
I’d bet he replaces Walker on the roster and takes Sobotka’s spot on your depth chart.
