I don't want to go all overenthused

But this hire just might be the hinge that opens the Rangers door to general success.

I always thought Orel would be the answer.

If only Orel had talent to work with

He did a great job given the crap that was given to him.

By 2028, Mark Teixeira will be in the HOF.

I dont understand

Why he doesn’t have a job in baseball.

I've always heard he is quite

fond of himself. Perhaps that has something to do with it…

I guess if he’s not the GM, he’s not interested.

This at the end…

The Rangers are still talking trades with other clubs and still have catching to offer. They would like to trade one to Boston for Clay Buchholz, but the Red Sox don’t want to deal him and are still waiting to see if they can re-sign catcher Jason Varitek. The Marlins need catching but are adamantly opposed to trading any of their young starters.

The Rangers may have some interest if the Rockies want to trade newly acquired reliever Huston Street .

Go Strangers.

TR's suggestion

that whether or not the Red Sox would be interested in a young franchise catcher (or at least the degree of their interest) hinges on whether they can bring back Varitek seems off base.
