🎙️ Are the Texas Rangers Buying, Selling… or Just Sitting There? | Just Wondering with Norm Hitzges

In this episode of Just Wondering, Norm takes a hard look at where the Texas Rangers stand heading into July 31. Are they big-spending buyers? Strategic sellers? Or just frozen in place by luxury tax panic and a roster that’s pushing retirement home status?

With a $220 million payroll (yes, really), limited tradable prospects, and more creaky veterans than a reunion tour, GM Chris Young might be left doing the unthinkable: absolutely nothing.

Norm dissects all the angles—from prospects like Sebastian Walcott and Osuna to why Corey Seeger (and his paycheck) isn’t going anywhere. He even ponders whether anyone wants what the Rangers are selling.

If you love baseball strategy, trade rumors, or just enjoy hearing Norm make sense of this beautiful chaos we call the MLB, this one’s for you.
