J.P. & Josh take an early offseason look at the activity and non-activity of their favorite Texas teams.
Before they get into the nitty-gritty (1:30) J.P. puts Josh on the spot for a spontaneous Texas high school football road trip. Then they break down (3:45) the early offseason storylines from the AL champs. Josh is ok with his team not spending before the lockdown shut things down. Dusty Baker is back (7:00) and you can't really say that's a bad move. But the big story is Carlos Correa not coming back (10:00). Who's the in-house candidate to fill that huge hole, or do they go shopping in the bargain bin? Justin Verlander is back (16:30) and that solidifies the Astros rotation up towards the top of the American League.
J.P. is understandably giddy about his Rangers flurry of moves (21:45)! Marcus Semien got the ball rolling (24:20) and Corey Seager was soon to follow. He comes to Arlington as one of the best hitting shortstops in the game. Texas is speeding up the rebuilding process. Hopefully Jon Gray (32:55) won't be the last pitcher signed in the offseason. The front office (34:45) has earned fans trust adding midlevel starting pitching and this probably isn't the offseason to add front of the line pitching with the young starting pitching right around the corner. And let's not forget the addition of Kole Calhoun! (38:15)
