I hope that I am wrong, but I am not sure either will ever contribute. Leiter basically had to go to the instructional league to learn how to pitch. Rocker has had health issues since his college days.I keep looking for Leiter and Rocker to make an appearance at least in the bullpen, thought those guys would/should be ready soon and with the losses feel like this might be a good year to see what they have.
Each may contribute in the future (or maybe not), but 2024 is not the right time. Both men need continued development in the minors. The Rangers have other short-term alternatives for the pitching staff.I hope that I am wrong, but I am not sure either will ever contribute

They have to limp through until the All Star break when their 3 best pitchers should be coming off the injury list.Each may contribute in the future (or maybe not), but 2024 is not the right time.

P.S. I noted that this is a milestone post for me - my post number 8,000. I feel obligated to Hornfans to post something profound to mark the occasion. So, here's my profound statement -
"It's 4:15, and ou still sucks!"
FWHORN, your observation is a good one. Given a choice, I think I'd prefer signing Montgomery - he certainly came through when the chips were down this past season.I keep seeing articles locally about Hader as a closer being a real possibility and the fact that Montgomery is still out there tells me he and the Rangers are trying. Add either of those two and the Rangers improve pitching at either the starting rotation or bullpen side dramatically.
I was reminded today that Scott Boras is Montgomery's agent. This could go down to Opening Day.
Saw article today on Snell and Montgomery as two best starters still available and it noted that Boras is planning to max out Montgomery and that doesn’t bode well for a missing Ballys money Ranger team. Yankees are apparently willing to back up the brinks truck but the wild card is Montgomery really liked Texas and would prefer to stay if the $ can be worked out.
Where did you hear that? That would be great and probably cheaper than anything else.Two weeks ago prime tv and the Rangers came to an agreement. Not certain of the terms or details

Thanks, H2R. I listen to the Fan a lot, but I had not heard that discussion. Guess I'll have to check into it a bit more.it was an all afternoon discussion on The Fan.
Thanks for the post, FWHORN. Good to see any report linking the Rangers and Montgomery. Monty seemed like a great fit for the staff last season - and if the owners are willing to pony up some money, Montgomery is the guy to spend that money for.
Per the reports I've read, Montgomery apparently wants to stay with the Rangers. It's worth noting that the Yankees, who were rumored to be the other team pursuing Montgomery, have moved on. With a pending settlement on TV money, perhaps the Rangers are in serious discussions with Boras for Montgomery.Still no definitive news on Montgomery or Hader but the Yankees just signed Stroman so they may know something we don't about how things are going with the Rangers and Montgomery.
