December 10: The Rangers, as they look to address several areas of need on the roster while chipping away at the backlog, have received several calls from Star Shorttop Carey Seager. However, when Evan gave the news of Dallas Morning counting the Red Sox (as reported yesterday evening), the yankees and the braves as the teams asked, they have bad advice to move seager and there are no five-star talks about the five-time star.
On the surface, it sounds like the same situation as that Ketel Marte in Arizona. Seager, like Marte, is an MVP-caliber talent on the club’s latest long-term contract in hopes of moving along the lines of dealing with the needs of multiple franchises and paying back their payroll. The Rangers don’t turn out to be an obvious throwing team but they also don’t use a single ocean and definitely need some big young players who can help quickly if they’re going to even entertain the idea of a trade.
Seager, who turns 32 in April, was limited to 102 games last season because of a strained hamstring but continued to produce in the role when he was on the field. He hit .271/.373/.487 last season and posted a massive .294/.344 batting line in his previous plate appearances as a Ranger. That’s 52% better than the league average production after weighting his home park, with a WRC+ rating. Seager also walked at a career-best 13% clip in 2025 and claimed second or third marks in his field in slugging average (92.9 mph), barrel average (53.6%). He also posted a career-high 16 runs scored
The Rangers signed Seager to a 10-year, $325mm deal before the 2022 season. He’s lived up to that big payday so far but still owes $186mm more over the next six seasons (he’s been paid equally at $31mm per year). Adding that kind of commitment would send the Yankees picking up in the top tier of the comfort zone for the third straight season. They are currently just shy of the third cutofving ($284mm), per rosterRerource. As soon as they cross that line, they will be subject to a 95% tax on the next increase and We’ll see their top draft pick next year drop 10 spots. Effectively, Seger could double the remaining commitments on his contract.
Not too extreme in Boston, where the Red Sox are about $20mm shy of first tier luxury. Seager would push them into a second season opener. They would owe a 30% tax on Seager’s contract As soon as they are over $20mm over the cap, that jumps to 42%. Crossing the 40mm limit of more than $40mm can pressure the red sox’ At the top of the draft to pick back 10 spots and wrap the tax with the next addition to 72.5%.
The Braves are currently the team’s newcomer to the luxury tax line, sitting about $33mm shy of RouteReverSource’s Projection. They could add technology without hitting the tax line, or you successfully get him to show willingness to pay tax, since they could get $2mm away from the first cutoff and they have several acquisitions available. However, Ken Rosenthal of the sport reported last month that Atlanta is one of the eight teams on the limited list of Seager That also reduces the chances of a deal. Seager will receive full trade protection after the 2026 season, thanks to the 10-and-5 rights.
It’s not entirely clear what kind of ownership payroll ranger ownership has in mind. The projects are currently projects for the payment of around $ 169mm, which is about $ 47mm shy of the first opening day of the year. They want help behind the plate, at first and in bad situations. That’s a lot of boxes to check, obviously, but they should at least have some decent spending room. There are also various ways to test trades that don’t involve sending their best position player (or one of their good but expensive arms Jacob of Egrom or Nathan Eotuldifor that matter).
It is a little balanced that Texas did not spill THE CHEPTY of sea trade, but it is so remarkable that it is not deeply held that it is possible. If one of the interested parties presents a compelling enough offer, perhaps the Rangers would consider such a situation, but this seems like a very different situation than, say, the Cardinals – a rebuilding club that wants to spend some of that salary. Seager’s name can continue to appear in rumors, just as we have seen with Marte in Arizona or Tarik skubal In Detroit, but that doesn’t mean he’s all that’s available or that the Raiders are willing to deal him.
