Rangers Updates Castellanos and Arenado

On Tuesday, Jon Morosi of MLB.com reported updates on two Rangers' targets.The first Morosi report regarded the Rangers' pursuit of free agent right fielder , which according to Morosi, remains active as of Tuesday. He Thomas Hennessy Jersey then stated the Rangers are "among the favorites to land him."The Rangers likely would bring Castellanos to Arlington to addre s first base rather than play right field, even though he has never played an inning at first base in the big leagues.Texas plans to utilize as their right fielder.Gallo is a superior athlete Noah Dawkins Jersey to Castellanos and is a better defender in right field. Although Gallo has experience at first base, it's not the best way to utilize his talents. There is also no plan to shift Gallo back to center field.Adding Castellanos would give the Rangers another right-handed bat in the middle of the lineup that can drive the ball out of the ballpark. The Rangers have done a good job addre sing their starting rotation this winter and an addition of Castellanos would help solidify a lineup that struggled in 2019. , who the Rangers have engaged with the Rockies about a po sible trade. Unfortunately, it looks like another suitor is gaining headway on landing the Rockies' superstar.Scroll to ContinueAccording to Morosi, the St. Louis Cardinals and the Rockies "have begun exchanging names" in their negotiations and talks have "advanced beyond a preliminary stage." The report also states the Rockies are seeking "a combination of Major League talent and at least one prospect."This helps give an idea Isaiah Williams Jersey on how the Rangers could po sibly gain any kind of momentum in the sweepstakes. If the Rockies are looking for Major League talent, a package would certainly have to include a nice, young player like . A top prospect in the trade package would likely have to include or , who are , respectively.As anyone should expect, the Cardinals are concerned with the opt-out clause in Arenado's contract after the 2021 season. Any suitor Morgan Moses Jersey for Arenado, including the Rangers, would likely require him to waive or renegotiate his opt-out clause as a part of any potential deal.The Rangers' chances to land Arenado have been slim from the Quincy Enunwa Jersey beginning. It's not surprising to see a ball club with a better farm system making further progre s on a deal. If anything, the Rangers' best chance of landing Arenado rests on their willingne s to take on the entirety of his contract, which includes $245 million over the next seven years (not taking his opt-out clause into account).An addition of either Castellanos or Arenado would be fantastic fits for the Rangers and help further them along toward becoming a postseason contender again.
