For the past several years, Max Rieper at Royals Review has overseen a simulated MLB offseason, with each SBN blogger or his delegee acting as general manager for their team. We did a sim offseason again earlier this week, with me acting as the Texas Rangers’ general manager. I was given an anticipated payroll of $150-160M, in light of the new stadium opening up, and tried to make moves consistent with what I think the Rangers will do this offseason — trying to build a team that has a chance to contend in 2020, but with the expectation the contention window likely won’t open until 2021.
