IMO, for the Rangers to have long-term success, they can't allow Holland, Perez, Scheppers or Beltre to leave... BUT those are the names the Royals are going to want. I just don't think 2 years of Grienke are worth those names.
Jurrickson Profar is a top SS prospect in all of baseball. However, the Rangers have the 21yo Elvis Andrus entrenched at the SS position for the next 12 years. The only future Profar has on this Rangers team is if he switches to 2B and Kinsler goes to the OF/DH.
