00:00
I would like to bring back at least Robertson and Yates.
00:02
I just don't know that we have the the payroll to pull something off that like that.
00:05
We'll check.
00:06
Yeah, I'm all in on Yates for sure.
00:08
I think you got to try and bring him back.
00:10
I'd like David Robertson.
00:11
I mean at 40 years old.
00:12
I don't think for 7 million you're picking that up.
00:15
Maybe you go ahead and try and work a deal if he wants to come back for a little
00:18
bit less, but I mean the big question to me is is Leclerc like he's your World
00:23
Series hero.
00:23
You made a great run in the postseason what he was able to do, but I don't know
00:27
like was that just kind of a flash in the pan in the pan for Jose Leclerc.
00:32
Let's move on you're moving on moving on from that.
00:35
I mean, you're you're talking about like some some real psychological.
00:42
You know, no, I feel like that.
00:44
You could probably get something better there.
00:47
Many probably got guys that you're thinking about that were starters that you
00:51
want to move into those spots and stuff like that.
00:53
I it's just too up and down for me on that guy.
00:56
I mean things have to fall into place for you.
00:58
So well to win that World Series with the Adventures that Leclerc and Chapman
01:03
took us on and the runners they got on and those are the things that a good GM
01:07
thinks about the good GM doesn't think well, this guy's special.
01:10
He won a World Series.
01:12
He's got the makeup of a champion.
01:14
Now some guys do like it appeared that Montgomery probably did.
01:18
Yeah, it's obvious of Aldi does it's obvious Seager does but you know guys
01:24
that are falling flat on their face after winning you a championship.
01:27
I think you have to be more leaning towards let's move on from the role
01:31
players and hang on to the guys that are are, you know, proven clutch gene
01:36
dudes and you it's clear who those guys are on your team.
01:38
Yeah, and it's a much more difficult decision in the offseason right after
01:42
winning the championship.
01:43
I think now that you've had a year to kind of sober up from I mean brought us
01:47
is still still blowing a .03 or so at least did we ever sober up but I think
01:54
you're able to be a little bit more logical and rational about some of
01:57
these things.
01:58
Yeah, Nathan of Aldi at 34 years old.
02:01
That's the litmus test for the entire offseason in the Rangers plans, right?
02:05
They got a I think that's a move that you have to make.
02:08
I mean, I think Yates in of Aldi.
02:10
Those are the two guys for sure.
02:11
I'm trying to bring back in Evo.
02:14
Yeah, we'll see.
02:15
I mean, he's going to have an option.
02:17
I wonder about the Houston Astros.
02:19
I mean, he's a kid from Alvin, Texas to the Astros come over and say we'll
02:23
offer it will go ahead and offer more than what the Rangers are willing to
02:26
go through and then he's going to have to make that decision.
02:29
Do I might in this for 5 million more?
02:32
Is it 25 million with Houston 20 million with the Rangers, whatever it
02:35
is, but I think the leadership.
02:37
I mean, that's every time we did a player show with a pitcher.
02:40
It was Nathan of Aldi and how he's taking guys under his wing and the
02:43
calmness and the leadership and the veteran mentality and every get big
02:46
games.
02:47
I mean, you know, he's showing up.
02:48
I think of all the is a must-have bag.
02:51
I mean, you could go ahead.
02:52
No, you can make a case that you don't need him on paper.
02:54
Yes, I can with the amount of guys that you have with the quality that you
02:58
have, but we're talking about intangibles and paper.
03:02
Great game big game stuff, dude.
03:04
And I think if of all these back that like that means he's been sold by
03:09
Cy and this team that they're really trying to win.
03:12
He above anybody is a dude, especially at this point in his career.
03:16
He wants to be somewhere.
03:17
He's going to win.
03:18
So if he inks the deal back with the Rangers, I think that means hey,
03:21
that's a good sign that other things are going to be coming here as the
03:25
offseason progresses and then even into the trade deadline for next season
03:28
as a team that's going to be trying to win.
03:30
And as well Chuck mentioned, I mean, there's nobody has an entire clubhouse
03:35
under their wing when you lift it up when you lift up of all these wing
03:39
the entire clubhouse is under it.
03:40
That's a great point.
03:41
Not just the pitchers.
