If there's no Jankowski next year, there's Wyatt, Carter, Adolis and Taveras in OF. With Adolis' issues, it'd be nuts to trade Taveras after a down year when his value is so low. Who could you get that'd be better for 5 million a year?
Don’t look at it as “cutting cost” it’s holding guys up to a standard , I’m not focused on payroll we had top 10 payroll didn’t make playoffs , let’s get some guys that are hungry
@@andrewmalone8709 As a rangers season ticket holder I’ve watched Christian Walker (1B) hit extremely well inside Globe Life , not too mention coming off a Gold Glove 2024, I agree with you on Leody ,in 2023 I remember him being the best hitter on the team for a month stretch out the 9 hole , if I’m moving anyone it starts with Garcia , his arm dropped to 84th percentile , sprint speed down , I’d trade him before opening day.
@@Kmd-wp9xx With Taveras gone and Aodlis gone, who do you have in mind for outfield? Especially now that you've just reduced the budget significantly by snagging Walker.
@ No id keep Taveras is what I meant by agreeing with you, very solid everyday CF, with speed to help on base path, but hypothetically say Leody goes down with injury , I’d look at putting Josh Smith back into left field , move Wyatt to center , and have Carter in Right ,Eziquel Duran another option in left field , Also with Walker on team Lowe becomes moveable for whatever position you want to address , unless you want to slide Walker in DH role, and let Lowe stay to hold down first.

Leody is a good idea, so is dunning
