Texas Rangers 2025-2026 Offseason
New arm. https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/texas-rangers Rangers RumorsRangers Claim Zak KentBy Darragh McDonald | January 9, 2026 at 3:30pm CDT The Rangers announced that they have claimed right-hander Zak Kent off waivers from the Cardinals. St. Louis had designated the righty for assignment earlier this week. Texas had a 40-man vacancy and doesn’t need to make a corresponding move. Kent, 28 in February, returns to his original organization. The Rangers drafted him back in 2019. He got a 40-man roster spot in November of 2022, to keep him out of the Rule 5 draft. In March of 2024, he was traded to the Guardians for international bonus pool space. He made his major league debut with Cleveland in 2025, allowing nine earned runs in 17 2/3 innings. He averaged around 93 miles per hour with both his four-seamer and sinker, while also throwing a slider and a curveball. In the minors, he flashed big strikeout numbers but also a lack of control. He tossed 38 Triple-A innings last year with a 2.84 ERA. He gave out free passes at a huge 13.2% clip but also struck out 31.4% of batters faced and got grounders on 54% of balls in play. The Guards nudged him off their roster. The Cardinals claimed him off waivers in early December. St. Louis designated Kent for assignment this week when they acquired Justin Bruihl from Cleveland. Kent still has an option, so the Rangers don’t need to keep him on the big league roster. He gives them an extra arm in their bullpen mix with some roster flexibility. He has just 37 days of big league service time, so he can be retained well into the future if he hangs onto his 40-man spot and has a good season.

According to a thing I saw on facebook, Rangers have avoided salary arbitration for 26 straight years, the longest streak in MLB history. Championship!

Follow suit and ship him off to the Talosians, where he can live in a fantasy world where his Cowboys are perennial Superbowl champs.

Rick Beato's YouTube channel is a must-subscribe
Necro-reply, but I don't know what it is about Rhett Shull. He should be in the thread of most punchable faces, and I'm not even sure why. He just seems so mediocre and self-important, trying really really hard to fit in among session guitarist legends.

A bit surprising they didn't do it quicker. He is a weird cat. Haven't really seen the results to make it all worth it.

He was a total Jerry hire. He hasn't always been total dogshit as a DC, but he's got one way, and it's outdated, and definitely doesn't fit what he had to work with. He made efforts to change that showed some improvement, but just kept falling back into his old system habits. He got his year, there are some way better candidates available now. Last year there wasn't the abundance.- Dallas Cowboys 2026 Offseason Thread: All in for one more win
Probably the better bet. And you can always tag and trade if the right offer comes along.- Dallas Cowboys 2025 season thread: 8-9 and divine. The world according to Jerry
Eberflus fired. Time to go coach shopping.- Dallas Cowboys 2025 season thread: 8-9 and divine. The world according to Jerry
This is true. And aggregates like USA Today's Cowboyswire and SI versions are often very critical, especially the local beat guys. But that's news. The sell fluff and outrage, and the Cowboys are like the ultimate giant attention magnet with Fluff / Outrage poles.- Dallas Cowboys 2025 season thread: 8-9 and divine. The world according to Jerry
Truth. Now go and get Cleveland's DC, maybe he understands how to use those tackles we payed out the ass for.- Dallas Cowboys 2025 season thread: 8-9 and divine. The world according to Jerry
I mean people acting like this was the Titanic of Cowboys seasons compared to...? Just a shit-ton of LOL at that.- Dallas Cowboys 2025 season thread: 8-9 and divine. The world according to Jerry
Pretty much as the same for the last 20 years or so. Somewhere around the middle, maybe in a fluke year stumble into a first round playoff loss- Dallas Cowboys 2025 season thread: 8-9 and divine. The world according to Jerry
They weren't the Cowboys. They all had young rising talent. And they didn't have Jerry Jones running shit.- Dallas Cowboys 2025 season thread: 8-9 and divine. The world according to Jerry
It was a shitass season, but when you put it in the perspective of the first year of a new regime, really about what one should expect. They weren't gonna win shit.- Dallas Cowboys 2025 season thread: 8-9 and divine. The world according to Jerry
I just don't think Guyton is a left tackle, and probably a marginal right tackle. Might even be a better guard than tackle. They may have to take an LT with an early pick, unfortunately, despite all the major needs on D. I think Steele is gone, despite the dead cap it will cost them. His contract was a disaster. Maybe they pick up an older tackle in free agency at a modest salary that still has something left in the tank. At RB I don't want to overpay Javonte, either, but he is the only real veteran presence that is a do it all kind of guy they need, including pass protection, which is a huge deal. It's hard to trust young guys. We'll have to see what the market is on him, but it may very well be too high. They need to get a pick for Turpin, who is a luxury guy that doesn't deliver enough for his salary. But there should be teams that feel they need guy like that. If Blue is on the roster, he probably takes the KR role. It's just a shame how many middle round picks the shit away for basically nothing in return for most of them.- Dallas Cowboys 2025 season thread: 8-9 and divine. The world according to Jerry
Atlanta winning would help pick up one more tick. Other than that not much else to effect the Cowboys first pick. Green Bay mainly matters if they get knocked out in the first round of playoffs. If they somehow get a win that cost several spots update: Falcons win, so Cowboys currently have the 12th overall pick. Miami would have to beat New England to improve one more spot.- Dallas Cowboys 2025 season thread: 8-9 and divine. The world according to Jerry
OK... That's one small step backward for season. One giant leap for draft time. Let's goooo!!! Giants could go from 2 to about 6 or 7. Nicely played.- Dallas Cowboys 2025 season thread: 8-9 and divine. The world according to Jerry
And nowhere near enough draft capital or cap space to address all that. If they do it right, they need to trade down the Packers first round pick to pick up some extra picks in rounds 2,3,4 ish range where they have decent chance to get safeties, LBs that can start and improve the roster. Biggest problem is they also need a good left tackle because they fucking blew it with Guyton.- Dallas Cowboys 2025 season thread: 8-9 and divine. The world according to Jerry
Mafah looks strong. RB situation gonna be interesting next year.- Dallas Cowboys 2025 season thread: 8-9 and divine. The world according to Jerry
Packers behind Vikes 13-0 at the half. You hate to see it...- Dallas Cowboys 2025 season thread: 8-9 and divine. The world according to Jerry
