Rangers probably won't have payroll to sign Realmuto. Looking at other options. The article doesn't identify the Cardinals as possible trade partners, but ...

I'm in on sending any one of our catchers without the initials RR to Arlington for a solid return.

I would add initials IH and LB, too.

Pedro Pages would be a very good fit for them. Their farm system isn't deep, but they do have a couple players who would be a good return for Pedro.

What do they have to give? Why wouldn't they just sign Gary Sanchez

Send them NADO + Pages for prospect(s).

They've got the money to eat at ;east half of NADO's deal.

They would be much more interested in Contreras than Arenado.

Due to the depth in the system at Catcher I’m sure Bloom is getting a lot of calls.
When you consider the other roster needs it makes sense to deal from that depth.
The tricky part?? Which one to trade???

NADO is superior defensively to J. Jung.

Playing half his games in that park he should do no worse than Jung's 2025 production (14 HR/.251 .294 .390 .684).

But WillyC could also be a fit.
