When it comes to Twitter, Texas Rangers fans know how to engage and demonstrate passion for their team, regardless of the circumstances.
In particular, 2021 was expected to be a tough year for the organization and its fans, but we’re still here (and on Twitter) finding tidbits to discuss and debates to have over a myriad of topics, among them the upcoming MLB Draft, next winter meetings, trade chips for the deadline and many others.
But what if Texas Rangers Twitter assumed the role of GM of the organization? What kinds of moves would they make?
Based on what we’ve digested from our interactions with fans, here’s what Texas Rangers Twitter would do if they ran the show.
Texas Rangers Twitter GM Item 1: A Trevor Story trade and extension
We happen to be big fans of Trevor Story in DFW, and that makes all the sense in the world since the Rockies’ shortstop originally hails from the area.
Story just seems the perfect fit for the Rangers, a player in his prime who could anchor and lead the Rangers’ middle infield with Texas roots and his established track record.
Despite what could be a heavy price tag both financially and in terms of prospect capital should Texas pull off a trade for the superstar, Rangers fans have been unabashed in their pursuit of Story, realizing the kind of impact he could have on the organization.
No doubt the Rangers will have competition for Story’s services, but if they can pull off a move of this caliber, it would represent a major turning point in this team’s ongoing rebuild.
