The Dodgers did not "pitch Scherzer's arm to death" lol. They were limiting how many pitches he threw and then Scherzer went I didn't get to throw as many pitches as I usually do and blamed the Dodgers for trying to save his arm lmao.
Hi..pitcher that is a 90..98..fast ball .they dont last..look Greg Maddux his fast ball was 89.90..he pitch for 21 years..Billy Wagner his fast ball 99..101..like Chapman....i was a pitcher ..fast ball 98...99..101 ..on oficial game 106..but i hurt my arm ..that was 1991 ..never picht till 2011 .20 years after i injure my arm ..start pitch 41 years my arm feel better than ever .. scout he want sign me in 1989 but my father say no....thank you from ARUBA ..for all scouts thers some very very good young prospect here in ARUBA..really good prospect..
Limiting your pitches actually would mess up your arm. You want your body to get used to the usual load, so if you limit a pitcher and then go full throttle that’s a recipe for injury. For example: you would want to train at a peak, then you would want to decrease that to 70-80% at game day.
Great to see new Rangers content! But... if you're going to put this out, please fact check it. 1/? Marcus Semien was signed first, not Corey Seager. 2/? The team was absolutely built (mostly by Jon Daniels). The catalysts in the playoffs were homegrown: Evan Carter, Leody Taveras, Cody Bradford, and Jose Leclerc were all Texas draftees. 2.5/? Others were early trade aquistions who finished development with Texas: Adolis Garcia, Jonah Heim, and Josh Sborz. 3/? Sure, we'd not have done it without Nathan Eovaldi -- but show me one World Series team whose entire rotation doesn't feature a single free-agent ace. 4/? The 'Dave Roberts killed Scherzer' narrative doesn't stand up to 2022 169 ERA+/2.62 FIP, his own-admission that he requested to close out that game for the Dodgers, or the frustration he has expressed that the Dodgers in the 2021 playoffs. He was throwing hurt in 2023 --> declining results. I'd love to have Mad Max throwing at the start of 2024 as much as anyone, but durability declines with age. Call it what it is. 5/? Montgomery will be a stud for whoever signs him...but choosing to hand out a 5-year contract when deGrom, Mahle, Rocker, and White all profile to be in the rotation through 2026 and beyond alongside Eovaldi/Dunning/Bradford by the end of 2024 seems foolhardy. Pretty sure CY would offer 1 year, 40 million to Gumy in a heartbeat, but that just isn't what's in consideration right now. Being strategic about which roster spots actually need filling is not 'giving up' -- much as fans who want to become the Dodgers/Yankees 3.0 might say otherwise. 6/? The bullpen does need help, but this 'they haven't addressed it yet so they won't!' narrative is highly preemptive. Circle back in March and give me the "ownership gave up" pitch if no moves are made to address that part of the staff by then (I'd wager they will be). 7/? if Texas is giving up, how on earth is Seattle getting better?? Have you paid attention to their offseason, which has consisted of dumping talent for payroll relief, telling the fans the goal is to win 54% of games rather than make the playofs, and outright admitting to ownership handing down a salary cap that will restrict their ability to add to what was an outstanding roster just 2 years ago.
Fellow rangers fan. If we do not sign Montgomery we lost this offseason. And it’s all balley sports fault. They’re being a horses rear with their tv deal and we could potentially miss out on 111 million dollars this year. Which has got Ray Davis scared to spend. He doesn’t want to spend money he doesn’t have. From a fans perspective, pretty much every single starter we got is made of glass. Monty was the only one who seemed reliable and healthy. We need guys who eat innings for breakfast. Then at the end of the season all the studs will deal when they need to. And I think we HAVE to spend. Bc we are in a position to be the first repeat Champions in like 25 years or something stupid like that. Getting our ring is great. I want our team in the history books as being the first to do it in over 2 decades. If we don’t sign Monty, here’s where I think we go from here. At the mid season when we bring up Wyatt Langford, then see where the Mets are at. I’d Trade Nate Lowe, Kumar Rocker, and Leody Taveras to the Mets for Pete Alonso and Edwin Diaz/Kodai Senga. Imagine the order being Semien, Seager, Alonso, Garcia, Carter, Jung, Heim, Langford, and ig Duran idrk who our DH would be. Bottom line, we HAVE to make some moves. We won’t win sitting back and being content.

You mention that Dave Roberts "pitched his arm to death" (4:01) and then in the next frame, it says that the Dodger pitch count limit is what Sherzer blames for his dead arm. This was not Dave's fault. This was not a pitch count fault. This was an old guy (MLB wise) who is finally starting to break down. No excuses are necessary, he is just human.
Everyone laughed at us when we spent all that money the past two years and look at us now ws champs 🤷♂️ just cause you don’t understand what they’re doing doesn’t mean they’re giving up
The Rangers have a lot of exciting pitching prospects. Signing deGrom and Eovaldi was literally just to hold over until the new arms are ready for MLB. They may collapse next year, but they are set for the long-term.
Idk if they will win it all again probably not but I think they will win more than 90 games next season. The bullpen will be better just because it can be worse. I’m not worried at all.
Chris Young said the Rangers could afford Ohtani if had wanted to come to Texas. If they can afford Ohtani they can afford Montgomery. The Ranger/Bally thing is a red herring. They are going to have TV revenue. Just like they do every year. I only have one question. Can you take me higher?
“Screw your TV deal” he said. If you’re running a business and you could see one of your major revenue streams dry up or see a major decline in revenue in the next year, you will probably be cautious about how much money you’re spending or committing to long term contracts. It sucks but this might be a really bad time to throw caution to the wind when it comes to spending.
So unsuspected loss is TV revenue is minor problems? The owners have already on the books for large contracts. Easy to say keep spending when it’s not your money.
So the World Series champions Texas Rangers gave up because they can’t spend anymore money they don’t have from a TV deal that turned bad. Players they traded or signed got hurt. Let alone the fact everyone predicted this team 2-3 years away last year.
I will like to add many people say they gave up a lot of good minor league players to land those . Also the rangers just made it though it could have been mariners Astros . The finish was incredible close …. When was the last time you can remember a team could have had 3 different playoff teams in the same division.
Oh yeah sure we bought some guys but you forgot to mention guys we traded for or developed yk only Jonah heim (all-star), josh Jung (all-star), evan carter playoff BEAST , adolis Garcia all-star 39 home runs, Dane dunning (121 ERA+ underrated) Nate lowe sure he struggled but played great defense and was reliable to play every day , Leody taveras who actually was really good most of the year he had some slumps.
Funny how every white boy says there dead arm issues are from being over used but every asian pitcher says there arm only gets stronger the more they use it. I think baseball has let there salaries get out of hand. I'll never make 70mil in a lifetime but there's a guy making it per year and the amount of money these people make seems like made up amounts. There should be a limit. I realize they play 162 games a year plus playoff but how do you justify these amounts when it cost a family of 4 hundreds to thousands of dollars just to go to a game. 12$ drinks, 15$ dollar hot dogs. If food cost that much in a grocery store the majority of us would starve. There is allot to say about it and when I get started all I do is ramble, but how in the hell does anyone think this is ok. Seeing a ball game used to be a thing everyone could do, now, it's a luxury that only the rich can afford. Baseball is slowly losing me as a fan. No players hits a home run every at bat but you pay then 30.il a year knowing that there stats will go up and down year by year. Owners should ban together and say there just not going to do it. How can any player say they are being treated unfairly when there uniforms are washed for them, layer out ready for game day. Luggage is carried for them. We are turning them into premadonnas. How many sign contracts that are huge and the very next season they suck big time.
While I agree they are a worse team than last year currently, I can't say they're punting 2024 away. It is brought up that Jordan Montgomery was their savior to close out the season and in October which is true, but it's not like they were some horrible team without him. They were 63-46 before Monty even pitched a game for them. While their rotation currently isn't ideal, it is serviceable and given Mahle and Scherzer will return mid-season, the early season will be their toughest battle. There's a chance deGrom even returns in August as a late season reinforcement. What they really need to focus on is the bullpen as that single handedly cost them the division and almost a playoff spot. With one of the best offenses in the league, they will remain a threat. Edit: Rangers were 63-46, not 63-48 before Monty's first start.
I think they will be better. They did all of that with one of the worst bullpens on baseball and dealt with a ton of injuries. There was a time when we had 5 allstar players hurt at the same time
Does anyone know what kind of year DeGrom had after his first Tommy John surgery? I think DeGrom has one or 2 dominant years left. If that gets the Rangers another title it was worth it. If Rangers can hold the ship at 500 or so by mid season they could have Max, Tyler, Jason and maybe even Kershaw. That's alot of CY winners pitching when it matters the most. I think Cody Bradford will have a breakout year based on what I saw at the end of last year. And Teodo looks like he'll be a future closer as he developed a 100 mph 2 seam FB that's difficult to hit. Some think he's ready. That would help their bull pen without spending a king's ransom on a free agent. Rangers could be better.
This video feels overly doomer. Chris Young said the Rangers could afford Ohtani, so they can afford Montgomery 100%. Not to mention it came out a day or two before this video that they'd (unfortunately for fans wanting to watch the games) be willing to go for another year with Bally for a slightly lower fee. We lost an arm, maybe two, and suddenly only a few months into offseason the Rangers have supposedly "given up"? I'll save my concern for if we can't get Garver back. We were first in the division for half the season without Scherzer, Montgomery and DeGrom and we can do it again if we just don't go on insane loss streaks.
Bros saying they are throwing because of not signing back a mid pitcher that was only good at the end of the year which was important but that does not mean that 2024 is over
The Mets signing Scherzer to that contract and then the same for Verlander? What was Cohen thinking? 86 million tied up in two pitchers who don’t start enough games and don’t pitch enough innings. So say 25 starts average 6.2 innings per game to go 7-12? 12-7? Is that worth 43 million. So glad they’re were traded and their money comes off the books after next year.
“No one thought that the rangers were gonna be in the World Series” and “they bought the entire team from top to bottom” are the dumbest comments I’ve heard 😂😂
Lost 100 in 2022. 94 in 2021. They sign DeGrom, and Eovaldi. DeGrom gets hurt. By the end of the season after making multiple trades, Eovaldis recovering from injury (he pitched mid before the postseason). Scherzer was out. I didn’t see a single list predicting them to win it, so not sure how its dumb. Lets see. They didn’t develop Garcia, Eovaldi, Scherzer, DeFrom, Seager, Semien, Montgomery. Just all the best players lol. So you tell me, hows that “the dumbest comments you’ve heard”
Give up is right. The O's just traded for Corbin Burnes, the Astros got Hader, the list goes on. All the while the Ranger management is content to do nothing to help this team repeat. They don't want to pay any FA pitcher, and what is MOST agrivating they don't want to make a trade. Fans want to know, what are you holding out for? We have the best trade chips, the Bally TV deal is paid, and money is there! Are we EVER going to make a move to better this teams chances of winning in 2024? Losing confidence in Ray Davis and Chris Young being really commited to winning. Looks like they want to be one and done!
This guy doesn’t understand the Rangers financial situation. Bally cut their expected 2024 TV deal by $20 million. Even with that the Rangers are 5th going into 2024 with a $232 million payroll. After this year Heaney, Scherzer, and possibly Eovaldi will be coming off the books. They will still be very good this year, and I expect them to be moderate spenders again in 2025. And hopefully a lucrative TV deal in place by 2025.
There’s still plenty of good RP on the market I highly doubt the rangers just give up and don’t sign anyone else. Besides they did sign multiple pitchers already like Mahle and Yates
The rangers have not given up, they have potentially lost 110 million dollars due to no TV rights with Balleys and being at the top of the payroll. We will find pitching.
Fans are wondering several things. First why is CY not doing anything about making a trade for starting pitching. That should involve very little if any money. Second we need bullpen help. One aquision that the Rangers need to spend for is a closer. The Padres just signed a Japanese closer, so that assures the Hader will be available. If the Rangers don't sign Hader it is a guarentee that they will regret it later. They are using DSG backing out of TV contract as an excuse for not spending to get anyone. It is a guarentee that before the start of next season someone will pay to have the broadcast rights for Ranger games. Does management really think that no one will pay to have the broadcast rights for the WS champs? Come on!
thinking the offseason is done already isnt accurate. nor can teams give up after the world series during the offseason. just because teams dont do what fans want doesnt mean anything is wrong. fans arent professionals
The “buying a championship” is surprisingly rare…good for them! I just want the Dodgers to make the second round. Buying a Dodgers championship would be fine with me…
Aye if it works it works. Yeah I’d personally say they bought it. Signed Eovaldi, Degrom, Seager, Semien, then traded for Scherzer and Montgomery. Overall, great team!
The last 5 World Series the Yankees won where all bought late 90’s and early 2000’s any free agent or trade deadline it was like who is the best available player they are going to the Yankees and the Yankees still try to it today but there is another team that the Yankees have to compete against now for that top star and that is why it does not happen anymore they have to compete against the dodgers now the rangers built that team and then added stars we actually had some home grown talent just think jung Garcia cater hiem where all here developing before we bought stars they got the time to learn on the field and grow into great everyday players the only thing we where missing was good pitching but our best pitcher did not even play but like 3 games and we still won
Jung, Tavares, Carter leclerc all farm guys. Garcia,heim, Lowe, dunning, sborz by trade. Not bought from top to bottom. If you’re gonna make a statement, at least make it the truth. People complain about teams spending money then turn that around when a team who does spends wins. What do y’all want?
All I stated was a report that Montgomery isn’t returning, Scherzer isn’t playing half the year, and Jacob DeGrom hasn’t stayed healthy since 2019. Thats not something thats gonna mature with time.
They did not "Buy the team from top to bottom". You have no idea what you're talking about. You a real sports journalist or just a salty fan the hated the rangers winning the world series?
Pretty sure that the team wanted to let Martin walk. We could have matched 1 year, $8M...but where was he going to pitch? He was shelved in the 'pen during the playoffs despite no deGrom/Scherzer, and that's before you consider White and Winn as possible starting options. Texas doesn't have the rotation space for him. Glad he got his ring; also glad he'll have the chance to play in Pittsburgh.
Martin was definitely not a ace but he was a 10+ game winner for them in five different seasons he was reliable, ate innings Don’t underestimate that I don’t care where the prospect ranks in what top 100 and less you approved you can play major-league baseball. That means absolutely nothing. Believe me as a pirate fan. I’ve seen a lot of top 100 pitchers become nothing
Not sure what your talking about lol. Ken Rosenthal said Montgomery will likely not be resigned, due to losing a local TV deal. Its a mistake to not resign Jordan, because outside of Eovaldi, he’s the only reliable option
@@PurelyBaseballYT no you’re right on that, I just don’t think you can count Rangers out completely because of that though. They still have loads of position player talent and definitely have the resources to find a way around the issue, even if it’s cheaper than resigning Montgomery. The TV deal falling through is completely out of their control,
@@samchernoff350 I agree. I mentioned the lineup, its a top 5 lineup in baseball. I understand losing the TV deal is out of their hands, but the ownership has all the money in the world. They should still be able to pay Jordan
I can see you’ve already gotten blasted in most of the comments because of your laziness in making this video, let me just add the obvious. Free agency isn’t over. The Rangers had 3 needs going into free agency. Bullpen help, a DH, and a starting pitcher. They signed Yates for the bullpen, they sign Mahle as a starter. I foresee Langford coming up and splitting time with Carter in left field and the DH role. How in the world does that translate as giving up.? How many other teams have better 9 batters than the Rangers? The Dodgers and maybe the Braves? You’re telling me Evo, Gray, Dunning, Heaney and Bradford aren’t a solid rotation? How many team can beat Degrom, Evoldi, and Scherzer in the playoffs, especially with the Rangers offense. Yeah we good.
Rangers have a lot of money on the books so I’m not surprised they haven’t done anything worth mentioning this offseason Probably figured they won with what they have so why add
Its not silly or clickbaity. It was just announced Max Scherzer is out for half the season. 5 days ago, we got a report Montgomery wont return. Losing their best pitcher in Montgomery, and having only one reliable pitcher with Eovaldi… yeah its a mess. To go along with the brutal bullpen
@@PurelyBaseballYT DeGrom did not play. Minus his pay we come in at 17. The bottom 9 teams' payroll is a joke, and they are not close to trying to compete. So basically, out of the teams that are actually trying to win, the Rangers were number 17 out of 21. Again, 4 players do not equal a bought team. You either dislike the Rangers in some way and have a bias or you are unable to see sense.
@@PurelyBaseballYTyou don’t know jack shit kid. They have a really good shot to go back to back. Do some research on the team and fact check your takes
Awful video. “They didn’t build the team they bought the entire team from top to bottom” Jung Lowe Carter Garcia Heim Dunning Leclerc Sborz Bradford Ect
Yeah should’ve changed that line a bit. Apologies. Just meant bought DeGrom, Scherzer, Semien, Seager, Montgomery, Eovaldi, Garcia. By the way, Garcia was a trade lol. Not sure if he ever played more than 5 games in the Rangers farm. If that one line truly offended you, not sure what to tell you lol
“This team feels so much more different from last year” last year I remember they were saying Texas was still a 4th place team. This guy is Rangers hater for sure
Whether Clayton Edward Kershaw signs with the Boys in Blue or the World Series Champions, both the DODGERS and the RANGERS should have a lot of concerns regarding the health of their pitchers. What could possibly go wrong ? ⚾️⚾️⚾️ ROGER, The LOS ANGELES DODGER (from the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex)
Man if your going to make a video at least do some research or have some knowledge of the team. Dont just put a bad take out there because you’re a salty fan of another team. People like you are just bad for the game
“Salty fan of another team” 🤣 Literally how. Red Sox fan with 0 hate towards the Rangers. They’re gonna have arguably the best lineup in baseball next year. But the pitching is BAD. Its that simple.
Red Sox fan lol. No relation to any of them. I don’t think its unfair to say that not bringing back Jordan is a mistake, and Scherzer being injury ridden, and Degrom not having a healthy season since 2019 is unfair. I think its logical to say they wont have the same type of year. The lineup on the other hand, top in baseball
As a Red Sox fan, I have 0 salt toward the Rangers lol. I’d rather see them win the division over every other team in the West.. (maybe outside of Seattle)
The Dodgers did not "pitch Scherzer's arm to death" lol. They were limiting how many pitches he threw and then Scherzer went I didn't get to throw as many pitches as I usually do and blamed the Dodgers for trying to save his arm lmao.
Yes
the quote he screenshotted literally says "pitch count limit" too
Hi..pitcher that is a 90..98..fast ball .they dont last..look Greg Maddux his fast ball was 89.90..he pitch for 21 years..Billy Wagner his fast ball 99..101..like Chapman....i was a pitcher ..fast ball 98...99..101 ..on oficial game 106..but i hurt my arm ..that was 1991 ..never picht till 2011 .20 years after i injure my arm ..start pitch 41 years my arm feel better than ever .. scout he want sign me in 1989 but my father say no....thank you from ARUBA ..for all scouts thers some very very good young prospect here in ARUBA..really good prospect..

Yeah truth Chris said If a player they wanted he could go ask ownership for money. Obviously they don’t feel Jordan is worth 150 million
Money issues with Bailey tv going in bankruptcy just might be a BIG reason Tx has “given up”
“Screw your TV deal” he said. If you’re running a business and you could see one of your major revenue streams dry up or see a major decline in revenue in the next year, you will probably be cautious about how much money you’re spending or committing to long term contracts. It sucks but this might be a really bad time to throw caution to the wind when it comes to spending.
So unsuspected loss is TV revenue is minor problems? The owners have already on the books for large contracts. Easy to say keep spending when it’s not your money.
Think bally supposed to be situated mid January
5:32 “his future looks to be coming to an end” 😂
Just so long as his present doesn’t come to an end, he still has a chance!
Scherzer is cooked. He’ll announce retirement soon.
RANGERS GOING BACK TO BACK
So the World Series champions Texas Rangers gave up because they can’t spend anymore money they don’t have from a TV deal that turned bad. Players they traded or signed got hurt. Let alone the fact everyone predicted this team 2-3 years away last year.
I will like to add many people say they gave up a lot of good minor league players to land those . Also the rangers just made it though it could have been mariners Astros . The finish was incredible close …. When was the last time you can remember a team could have had 3 different playoff teams in the same division.
Oh yeah sure we bought some guys but you forgot to mention guys we traded for or developed yk only Jonah heim (all-star), josh Jung (all-star), evan carter playoff BEAST , adolis Garcia all-star 39 home runs, Dane dunning (121 ERA+ underrated) Nate lowe sure he struggled but played great defense and was reliable to play every day , Leody taveras who actually was really good most of the year he had some slumps.
Funny how every white boy says there dead arm issues are from being over used but every asian pitcher says there arm only gets stronger the more they use it. I think baseball has let there salaries get out of hand. I'll never make 70mil in a lifetime but there's a guy making it per year and the amount of money these people make seems like made up amounts. There should be a limit. I realize they play 162 games a year plus playoff but how do you justify these amounts when it cost a family of 4 hundreds to thousands of dollars just to go to a game. 12$ drinks, 15$ dollar hot dogs. If food cost that much in a grocery store the majority of us would starve. There is allot to say about it and when I get started all I do is ramble, but how in the hell does anyone think this is ok. Seeing a ball game used to be a thing everyone could do, now, it's a luxury that only the rich can afford. Baseball is slowly losing me as a fan. No players hits a home run every at bat but you pay then 30.il a year knowing that there stats will go up and down year by year. Owners should ban together and say there just not going to do it. How can any player say they are being treated unfairly when there uniforms are washed for them, layer out ready for game day. Luggage is carried for them. We are turning them into premadonnas. How many sign contracts that are huge and the very next season they suck big time.
Bought the team from top to bottom? Jung, Carter, Garcia, Leody?
I’m not gonna doubt the front office after what they pulled off last year.
While I agree they are a worse team than last year currently, I can't say they're punting 2024 away. It is brought up that Jordan Montgomery was their savior to close out the season and in October which is true, but it's not like they were some horrible team without him. They were 63-46 before Monty even pitched a game for them. While their rotation currently isn't ideal, it is serviceable and given Mahle and Scherzer will return mid-season, the early season will be their toughest battle. There's a chance deGrom even returns in August as a late season reinforcement. What they really need to focus on is the bullpen as that single handedly cost them the division and almost a playoff spot. With one of the best offenses in the league, they will remain a threat.
Edit: Rangers were 63-46, not 63-48 before Monty's first start.
I think they will be better. They did all of that with one of the worst bullpens on baseball and dealt with a ton of injuries. There was a time when we had 5 allstar players hurt at the same time
Does anyone know what kind of year DeGrom had after his first Tommy John surgery? I think DeGrom has one or 2 dominant years left. If that gets the Rangers another title it was worth it. If Rangers can hold the ship at 500 or so by mid season they could have Max, Tyler, Jason and maybe even Kershaw. That's alot of CY winners pitching when it matters the most. I think Cody Bradford will have a breakout year based on what I saw at the end of last year. And Teodo looks like he'll be a future closer as he developed a 100 mph 2 seam FB that's difficult to hit. Some think he's ready. That would help their bull pen without spending a king's ransom on a free agent. Rangers could be better.
I've never been this early :0
Same 😅
You made it! 🐐
This video feels overly doomer. Chris Young said the Rangers could afford Ohtani, so they can afford Montgomery 100%. Not to mention it came out a day or two before this video that they'd (unfortunately for fans wanting to watch the games) be willing to go for another year with Bally for a slightly lower fee. We lost an arm, maybe two, and suddenly only a few months into offseason the Rangers have supposedly "given up"?
I'll save my concern for if we can't get Garver back. We were first in the division for half the season without Scherzer, Montgomery and DeGrom and we can do it again if we just don't go on insane loss streaks.
Bros saying they are throwing because of not signing back a mid pitcher that was only good at the end of the year which was important but that does not mean that 2024 is over
Let’s not forget late in the season the rangers bullpen threw 16 straight balls in the 10th inning .
Rangers are actually 12th in money spent this offseason and there is a lot of FA left. World Series champs they can do whatever they want
Im so happy to see the Rangers FINALLY win the World Series.....way to go Texas Rangers
this dude sounds like a salty astros fan lol
Far from it, this guy makes great videos
How? By saying that the Rangers should continue to build on the team that they have instead of riding the coat tails of their victory to mediocrity?
@@UnfairEnforcer brother its barely been 2 months of the offseason. This guy is acting like the offseason is over
The 1997 Marlins bought a World Series championship, and then their owner dismantled it in the off-season.
Wayne Huyzinga wanted a World Series championship for himself. He never cared about the team or its fan based
We'll be fine 😂 I hope, just gotta survive till we get our guys back healthy
The Mets signing Scherzer to that contract and then the same for Verlander? What was Cohen thinking? 86 million tied up in two pitchers who don’t start enough games and don’t pitch enough innings. So say 25 starts average 6.2 innings per game to go 7-12? 12-7? Is that worth 43 million. So glad they’re were traded and their money comes off the books after next year.
Do people understand that the TV deals is how they can spend money?
“No one thought that the rangers were gonna be in the World Series” and “they bought the entire team from top to bottom” are the dumbest comments I’ve heard 😂😂
Lost 100 in 2022. 94 in 2021. They sign DeGrom, and Eovaldi. DeGrom gets hurt. By the end of the season after making multiple trades, Eovaldis recovering from injury (he pitched mid before the postseason). Scherzer was out. I didn’t see a single list predicting them to win it, so not sure how its dumb.
Lets see. They didn’t develop Garcia, Eovaldi, Scherzer, DeFrom, Seager, Semien, Montgomery. Just all the best players lol. So you tell me, hows that “the dumbest comments you’ve heard”
Give up is right. The O's just traded for Corbin Burnes, the Astros got Hader, the list goes on. All the while the Ranger management is content to do nothing to help this team repeat. They don't want to pay any FA pitcher, and what is MOST agrivating they don't want to make a trade. Fans want to know, what are you holding out for? We have the best trade chips, the Bally TV deal is paid, and money is there! Are we EVER going to make a move to better this teams chances of winning in 2024? Losing confidence in Ray Davis and Chris Young being really commited to winning. Looks like they want to be one and done!
This guy doesn’t understand the Rangers financial situation. Bally cut their expected 2024 TV deal by $20 million. Even with that the Rangers are 5th going into 2024 with a $232 million payroll. After this year Heaney, Scherzer, and possibly Eovaldi will be coming off the books. They will still be very good this year, and I expect them to be moderate spenders again in 2025. And hopefully a lucrative TV deal in place by 2025.
DeGrom becomes a stud closer
There’s still plenty of good RP on the market I highly doubt the rangers just give up and don’t sign anyone else. Besides they did sign multiple pitchers already like Mahle and Yates
The rangers have not given up, they have potentially lost 110 million dollars due to no TV rights with Balleys and being at the top of the payroll. We will find pitching.
“Bought their whole team” they bought two bats and an arm lol
Sub hour gang less go love the videosss
AYEE yessirrr 🔥
This dude is a Seattle mariners fanboy, lol
When are they going to get their players back from the DL
Fans are wondering several things. First why is CY not doing anything about making a trade for starting pitching. That should involve very little if any money. Second we need bullpen help. One aquision that the Rangers need to spend for is a closer. The Padres just signed a Japanese closer, so that assures the Hader will be available. If the Rangers don't sign Hader it is a guarentee that they will regret it later. They are using DSG backing out of TV contract as an excuse for not spending to get anyone. It is a guarentee that before the start of next season someone will pay to have the broadcast rights for Ranger games. Does management really think that no one will pay to have the broadcast rights for the WS champs? Come on!
Minor detail but semien was signed first then seager, not the other way around
How can you say the Rangers gave up when they only played one game and won it?!?!??????
this aged really well😂
thinking the offseason is done already isnt accurate. nor can teams give up after the world series during the offseason. just because teams dont do what fans want doesnt mean anything is wrong. fans arent professionals
“Buying a team worked for once”
*Yankees in the corner
Gotta fact check these before you just put them out! Lost me at "they bought the ENTIRE team from top to bottom"
The “buying a championship” is surprisingly rare…good for them! I just want the Dodgers to make the second round. Buying a Dodgers championship would be fine with me…
Aye if it works it works. Yeah I’d personally say they bought it. Signed Eovaldi, Degrom, Seager, Semien, then traded for Scherzer and Montgomery. Overall, great team!
@@PurelyBaseballYT Great team
Rangers got bats but need pitchers.
Mariners got pitchers but need bats.
SEEMS LIKE A NO BRAINER TO ME.
Ok well I wouldn’t say the bullpen is bad now just based on how good it was in the postseason
They held their own weight for sure. But Regular season, second worst. Gotta make moves
@@PurelyBaseballYT yeah I hope we can pick up josh hader and resign Montgomery and hopefully degrom stays healthy
The last 5 World Series the Yankees won where all bought late 90’s and early 2000’s any free agent or trade deadline it was like who is the best available player they are going to the Yankees and the Yankees still try to it today but there is another team that the Yankees have to compete against now for that top star and that is why it does not happen anymore they have to compete against the dodgers now the rangers built that team and then added stars we actually had some home grown talent just think jung Garcia cater hiem where all here developing before we bought stars they got the time to learn on the field and grow into great everyday players the only thing we where missing was good pitching but our best pitcher did not even play but like 3 games and we still won
Jung, Tavares, Carter leclerc all farm guys. Garcia,heim, Lowe, dunning, sborz by trade. Not bought from top to bottom. If you’re gonna make a statement, at least make it the truth. People complain about teams spending money then turn that around when a team who does spends wins. What do y’all want?
Next time read what the excerpt you put on the screen in regards to Scherzer and the Dodgers. How embarrassing for you.
It’s still December, you’re making this video way prematurely. This video is not even worth a watch tbh.
All I stated was a report that Montgomery isn’t returning, Scherzer isn’t playing half the year, and Jacob DeGrom hasn’t stayed healthy since 2019. Thats not something thats gonna mature with time.
They did not "Buy the team from top to bottom". You have no idea what you're talking about. You a real sports journalist or just a salty fan the hated the rangers winning the world series?
When Big Bucs Bob Nutting is outbidding you for your pitchers (Martin Perez, one year $8 million) things are not good
Pretty sure that the team wanted to let Martin walk. We could have matched 1 year, $8M...but where was he going to pitch? He was shelved in the 'pen during the playoffs despite no deGrom/Scherzer, and that's before you consider White and Winn as possible starting options. Texas doesn't have the rotation space for him. Glad he got his ring; also glad he'll have the chance to play in Pittsburgh.
Martin was definitely not a ace but he was a 10+ game winner for them in five different seasons he was reliable, ate innings Don’t underestimate that I don’t care where the prospect ranks in what top 100 and less you approved you can play major-league baseball. That means absolutely nothing. Believe me as a pirate fan. I’ve seen a lot of top 100 pitchers become nothing
Scherzer got defeated by father time
Bro is saying that the Rangers are cooked because they lost a TV deal 💀
Not sure what your talking about lol. Ken Rosenthal said Montgomery will likely not be resigned, due to losing a local TV deal. Its a mistake to not resign Jordan, because outside of Eovaldi, he’s the only reliable option
@@PurelyBaseballYT no you’re right on that, I just don’t think you can count Rangers out completely because of that though. They still have loads of position player talent and definitely have the resources to find a way around the issue, even if it’s cheaper than resigning Montgomery. The TV deal falling through is completely out of their control,
@@samchernoff350 I agree. I mentioned the lineup, its a top 5 lineup in baseball. I understand losing the TV deal is out of their hands, but the ownership has all the money in the world. They should still be able to pay Jordan
I can see you’ve already gotten blasted in most of the comments because of your laziness in making this video, let me just add the obvious. Free agency isn’t over. The Rangers had 3 needs going into free agency. Bullpen help, a DH, and a starting pitcher.
They signed Yates for the bullpen, they sign Mahle as a starter. I foresee Langford coming up and splitting time with Carter in left field and the DH role. How in the world does that translate as giving up.?
How many other teams have better 9 batters than the Rangers? The Dodgers and maybe the Braves?
You’re telling me Evo, Gray, Dunning, Heaney and Bradford aren’t a solid rotation?
How many team can beat Degrom, Evoldi, and Scherzer in the playoffs, especially with the Rangers offense. Yeah we good.
Now answer this, was Scherzer good in the playoffs? Has Degrom been healthy since 2019?
Lmfao tell me you don't know ball without telling me you don't know ball
Rangers have a lot of money on the books so I’m not surprised they haven’t done anything worth mentioning this offseason
Probably figured they won with what they have so why add
LOL the title is silly and clickbaity. They're bringing back most of the team. They didn't need to spend big this offseason.
Its not silly or clickbaity. It was just announced Max Scherzer is out for half the season. 5 days ago, we got a report Montgomery wont return. Losing their best pitcher in Montgomery, and having only one reliable pitcher with Eovaldi… yeah its a mess. To go along with the brutal bullpen
You literally lost cred with this video. Rangers bought?! So many errors in here.
Yep, they bought. Eovaldi, Montgomery, DeGrom, Seager, Semien, 9th in Payroll.
@@PurelyBaseballYT DeGrom did not play. Minus his pay we come in at 17. The bottom 9 teams' payroll is a joke, and they are not close to trying to compete. So basically, out of the teams that are actually trying to win, the Rangers were number 17 out of 21. Again, 4 players do not equal a bought team. You either dislike the Rangers in some way and have a bias or you are unable to see sense.
2:36 Really bad toupee.
Bruh I’m a rangers fan like what did you say about my team like🤬
They didn't give up. It's more like what's the future?
They gaveup on 2024, by not retaining the most reliable arm. As I said, bright future
@@PurelyBaseballYTyou don’t know jack shit kid. They have a really good shot to go back to back. Do some research on the team and fact check your takes
Awful video. “They didn’t build the team they bought the entire team from top to bottom” Jung Lowe Carter Garcia Heim Dunning Leclerc Sborz Bradford Ect
Yeah should’ve changed that line a bit. Apologies. Just meant bought DeGrom, Scherzer, Semien, Seager, Montgomery, Eovaldi, Garcia. By the way, Garcia was a trade lol. Not sure if he ever played more than 5 games in the Rangers farm. If that one line truly offended you, not sure what to tell you lol
No mention of Jung
I mean… they won it all.
Seattle is definitely not getting better nor will they be better than Texas.
“This team feels so much more different from last year” last year I remember they were saying Texas was still a 4th place team. This guy is Rangers hater for sure
Gave up what?
I only had to listen to this for 30 seconds to know this was just another willfully ignorant take fueled by petty jealousy
As a rangers fan I’m getting major 2011 Mavs vibes with them not signing anyone so far.
No we didn’t it’s just the TV deal is having issues.
Even so, Jordan Montgomery should be extended
Bought top to bottom? Do some homework Skippy.
Traded for Montgomery, Scherzer. Signed Eovaldi, Seager, Semien, Gray, and Heaney. $800 million in free agency, is considered bought.
You should change your channel name to "PURELY AMATEUR", because this is some of the worst analysis I've seen.
lol @ this video
@
Kershaw will sign with the Rangers.
*Dodgers. Why would he rehab with a new team for half the season?
Whether Clayton Edward Kershaw signs with the Boys in Blue or the World Series Champions, both the DODGERS and the RANGERS should have a lot of concerns regarding the health of their pitchers. What could possibly go wrong ? ⚾️⚾️⚾️
ROGER, The LOS ANGELES DODGER (from the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex)
Man if your going to make a video at least do some research or have some knowledge of the team. Dont just put a bad take out there because you’re a salty fan of another team. People like you are just bad for the game
“Salty fan of another team” 🤣 Literally how. Red Sox fan with 0 hate towards the Rangers. They’re gonna have arguably the best lineup in baseball next year. But the pitching is BAD. Its that simple.
Trade the team to the tigers
Bros definitely a salty mariners fan
Red Sox fan lol. No relation to any of them. I don’t think its unfair to say that not bringing back Jordan is a mistake, and Scherzer being injury ridden, and Degrom not having a healthy season since 2019 is unfair. I think its logical to say they wont have the same type of year. The lineup on the other hand, top in baseball
😂😂😂😂😂😂
damn.. the salt is real from you
As a Red Sox fan, I have 0 salt toward the Rangers lol. I’d rather see them win the division over every other team in the West.. (maybe outside of Seattle)
Sound like a hater
Braves world series dynasty
Is inbound
2024>

Love your energy but you need to do more research for your videos as you got a lot of things wrong in this one
