Last week, our Rangers Reacts survey asked folks what the Texas Rangers should prioritize, should they be buyers at the trade deadline.
It is still up in the air, of course, whether they will be in a position to buy — they are currently occupying Wild Card 3, but a couple of bad weeks could put the Rangers in a place where they’d be more likely to be sellers than buyers. We are going to be optimistic for now, though…
A majority of folks believe that the bullpen is the area that the Rangers should prioritize,
and its hard to argue with that stance, given the overall state of the team. Outfield/DH was the next most popular option, followed distantly by the rotation, catcher, and the infield.
For the MLB-wide questions, when asked which MLB exec currently has the hottest seat, David Stearns of the Mets got by far the most votes, though Buster Posey of the Giants and Craig Breslow of the Red Sox each got some support.
In the wake of MLB’s proposal to change the MLB draft rules and length, almost half of folks think the draft should be revamped.
And taking a look back at the Rafael Devers trade from a little over a year ago, the consensus is that no one came out well in that deal.
