Jeff Wilson observes that Corey Seager has hit well at Globe Life Field and that the new park is probably a selling point to free agents.
Levi Weaver tells us that the four factors that brought two of the most sought after free agents to Arlington were the facilities, the people the Rangers sent to the meetings, their salesmanship of a brighter future, and money.

The Rangers’ are interested in some of the Reds’ starting pitching and likely have a surfeit of minor league middle infielders that they could trade to make that happen.
