We have only two (Miggy and Bass), we would be activity, too …

Rangers also have a new stadium they would like to get fans to come out to and DFW is a kinda big market.

 

Two other factors in this whole thing.

 

But I do expect Rangers to be one of the most active teams out there this winter. 

Two reason I hope this team to make some moves ASAP, 

A. This off-season is very critical to the team and the fans, some early moves would convincing fans this is really a different off-season. 

B. With the lockout on the horizon, it's better to make some moves before the stoppage and not waiting for the end of the lockout in the Jan./Feb. to address all the needs in the limited time.

BTW who is that guy? His bio says national writer for Forbes, but only 11 followers? That'd be unique.

That guy has less fans than the Marlins do.

They never really wanted to keep Marte unless he signed for cheap. There's no way they didn't realize that they were gonna have to pay more in free agency to keep him compared to back in the summer.

I'd guess due diligence from Ng. The money restrictions come from ownership and it wouldn't surprise me if Ng is gonna still reach out and say "Hey we would love to have you back but this is all we can offer you, we didn't wanna not ask." I could see that side of it from the front office but separate from ownership.

@Entendu, you're either not really care about this team or you're just the most patient people in the world. 

This is an extreme take.  Most teams have done absolutely nothing yet.  To act like the Marlins are the only team that hasn't done anything is too far at this point in time.  Maybe it stays that way, but right now, they have a short leash, but they're wrapping it around their neck more and more times and will hang themselves with it soon.

It's not time to get out the pitchforks and start marching, but you are a fool if you aren't already starting to sharpen yours.

Oh, the pitchfork was sharpened already.  I'm ready to skewer them like a marshmallow for smores and then squash what's left with the graham cracker.

But like I said above, most teams haven't done anything yet as far as trades or signings, so it's not like the Marlins are the lone team to do nothing.  As time moves on, though, the pitchfork will come out of the shed and be ready, preparing to light the proverbial torches.

So if he doesn’t end up staying in the end, it was 100 percent their fault.
