Grandpa 38 stated it perfectly, either the people making the decisions can’t be trusted to succeed, or the potential prospects will not be enticed just for dollars due to Rangers recent history of accepting losses to save money. Who wants to have a free ride on the Titanic?
Put me down as skeptical. The track record here is not on our side. Also, if you are an A or B player you want to be on a winning team especially if you're pushing 30. This team isn't going to win (contend for the World Series) for number of years. Certainly money means a lot but not everything. We went to the top in 2010 and 2011 when it was 100 degrees and drew 3 million. This year 2 million at 72 degrees. So forget that. So ,yes, I'm a skeptic.
I'm going to be writing about this perception that the Rangers are going to buy like mad this offseason and how some of what's out there in the rumor mill doesn't add up. I'm with you 100% on players who have won signing on here.
You said the Rangers “allegedly” have money to spend. I’m assuming that means you’ll believe it when you see it. At any rate, interesting choice of words considering their history.

Maybe I'm being too cynical, but the recent track record is hard to overlook. Hope you're doing well.
Yeah I’m with Jeff. I’m eager to spend $120 million AAV, but perception and reality are two different things.
Thanks Jeff. It’s healthy skepticism, not cynicism. And it’s more than fair. That’s why I subscribe.
