@ESPNInsights Flagg still has higher averages in scoring, rebounds, assists, blocks, & steals. Flagg is a better defender also.

The Rangers currently have 146 million in guaranteed contracts.
The Rangers have I think four players getting arbitration money those are Jake Burger, Josh Jung, Josh Smith, and Ezequiel Duran.
My predictions on the Arb dollars
Burger: 3 million
Duran: 1.25-1.5 million
Smith: 2.25 million
Jung: 2.25 million
That adds up to 9-9.25 million
Alright lets get to some additions
Re-sign RP Shawn Armstrong- 6.5 million AAV for 2 years (yes that might surprise y’all but I feel like that’s going to be what it takes to get him, he’s going to want a multi year deal)
Sign RP Mark Leiter Jr- 1 year 2 million
Sign RP Colin Holderman- 1 year 1 million
Sign SP Jose Quintana- 1 year 5.5 million
Sign RP Ryan Helsley- 1 year 13 million with an option for a 2nd year
Trade for catcher Joey Bart (FA after 2027) 2.25 million in arbitration
Sign Rob Refsnyder- 1 year 4 million
This additions add up to a total of 34.25 million. With the additions plus the guaranteed contracts and arbitration eligible players it should add up to around 208 million. My math could be off obviously
My projected bullpen
CL: Ryan Helsley
SU: Shawn Armstrong

I might do another post about a realistic offseason additions for the Rangers later tonight, it will look different because of the non-tender moves and the cubs signing Phil Maton.

@ClutchPoints What kind of team is that without MVP SGA!?

Zach Lowe and Bill Simmons are already looking ahead to the 2028 Olympics, and their projected Team USA lineup is stacked 🔥
The starting five? Tyrese Haliburton, Anthony Edwards, Jalen Williams, Cooper Flagg, and Paolo Banchero 👀
It’s a blend of proven young stars and rising generational talent, with Flagg headlining as the next big thing on the world stage.
If this lineup comes together in Los Angeles, Team USA could be looking at its next great dynasty.

@Evan_P_Grant Trying to scapegoat him over others that are worse.

Rangers column: In midst of do-or-die stretch, they leave Josh Jung on bench & Chris Young doesn't exactly mince words. Not sure what that says, but it ain't good.

@Plesac19 @MLBNetwork Eovaldi with a 1.38 era. Let that sink in but sure he's 7th.....lmao.

@Evan_P_Grant @hgomez27 What's wrong with Bubba Thompson? Hitting almost .300 with 11 hr & 40 sb.
English

As usual, @hgomez27 right on top of it. Elier Hernandez, 27, will be added today. Rangers have a spot on 40 right now, so that's not issue; They will make reciprocal move later in day.
