3 free agents the Texas Rangers should sign-post lockout

At number three, Nelson Cruz. Could you imagine Nelson Cruz with Seager and Semien in the lineup together? Cruz knows the Texas Rangers really well and would give the Rangers a big bat to plug in the lineup.

It appears that Cruz’s days on the field are over, but his bat still has some pop in it, and could help the Rangers bring some power to the lineup. If Texas is able to bring Cruz back, it would help them in a lot of ways, like adding a veteran presence in the clubhouse, especially on a young team, and giving them a big bat that they could use in a key situation.

Of course, these are just speculation but if the Rangers are able to sign any of these guys to the team, then this season could be an interesting one!
