Trade for Bryan Reynolds
Owner Ray Davis has spent big money the last two offseasons to try to jump the line. Call them the winters of gorge. He’s committed almost $800 million to players in free agency while the organization has stocked up on talent by picking in the top three of the draft in consecutive years. And until the Rangers take the next step on the field, the idea of buying and hoarding talent should probably be the prevailing strategy.
There’s a lot to like about Reynolds. He will be only 28 on opening day. He’s had two .300 seasons with an OPS of .875 or better. He’s been an All-Star. He’s controllable through 2026. He will make less than $5 million in 2023. There are some concerns, too. A 6 WAR player in 2021, he fell to half that in 2022 while his strikeout rate went up significantly and his walk rate fell.
David Peralta, a .754 OPS guy over the last four years, is probably going to cost a team somewhere north of $5 million, but well short of the $11 million Joey Gallo got from Minnesota. Detroit’s Austin Meadows, an .813 OPS/123 OPS+ guy over the last four years, might be available via trade. Meadows is four months younger than Reynolds.
