JD chose his words very carefully from what I saw and read. Yes, the tear down is complete. But only because there’s really nothing left to tear down.
Yes, ownership will pay “market price” for a FA. But the Rangers very well might have to go more dollars or more years to land a big name player.
The rebuild only trends upward when cheap, controllable prospects impact the club at the Big League level. That remains to be seen. Some will, but most won’t and that’s the way it’s always been for every team building a roster from scratch. That’s almost where we are. The Rangers have a couple bonafide big leaguers and a few nice arms that need to continue to develop.
Jeff, tell me this or correct me if I’m wrong. Didn’t John Daniels demand that he have complete control of the roster as a GM, but now we have a GM by way of a two person committee? That seems really odd to me.
Thx for all the great write-ups! I always look forward to them.
