Problem with the Cubs is that they don't have but 1 prospect in the top 100 and he is #97.

And they traded him for 2 pitchers and a named later. The Rangers also eat a bunch of his contract money.

Beltre retires and the team has a 3rd base coach hired for a manager. Looks like down years for the future to match 2018 results.

Now that Beltre has retired, Odor, Profar, Gallo, and Mazara are going to have to play up to their full potential to fill the void.

Profar is penciled in as the new 3rd baseman. Gallo and Mazara are pretty steady. Odor needs to play good everyday not every other day. And Andrus needs to step up and be the team leader instead of the team clown. And only 1 starting pitcher, Minor who they have put out on the trade wire.

The Rangers and Jesse Chavez agree on a 2 year contract.

Yeah, they had him at the start of last year and traded him to the Cubs. He was good with the Cubs and rotten with the Rangers.

And now the ball park will become the home of an XFL team as soon as the new indoors ball field is complete. Ole Vince and the WWE strike again with an 8 team spring league for football.

The Rangers traded Drew Robinson for third baseman Patrick Wisdom. Wisdom is a power hitter. He just needs an opportunity to get the at bats, which he would not have gotten had the Cardinals not traded him.

The Rangers sign free agent pitcher Lance Lynn to join their starting rotation.

And now they are talking about trading their #1 starter, only starter, to the Phillies for a couple of prospects. Looks like JD will end up with all new pitchers before the season starts.
Right now the team is a mess!

And as of noon today Profar is gone. Traded to the A's for a bunch of prospects. The Rangers now have no 3rd baseman.

But he is much more than a couple of the minor league guys they already have.
