The Rangers currently have 141-142 million in guaranteed contracts when you add up deGrom, Seager, Eovaldi, Nimmo, Pederson, Higashioka, and Haggerty. My math can be off though.

The Rangers have I think four players getting arbitration money those are Jake Burger, Josh Jung, Josh Smith, and Ezequiel Duran.

My predictions on the Arb dollars:

**Burger**: 3 million **Duran**: 1.25-1.5 million **Smith**: 2.25 million **Jung**: 2.25 million That adds up to 9-9.25 million

Alright lets get to some additions:

Re-sign RP **Shawn Armstrong**\~ 2 years 9 million (2.5 mil in 26', 6.5 mil in 27') 

Sign RP **Danny Coulombe**\~ 1 year 3 million 

Sign [**Mark Leiter Jr**](https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/l/leitema02.shtml?ref=theprospecttimes.com)\~ 1 year 2 million

Sign SP **Zac Gallen**\~ 3 years 60 million (15 mil in 26', 20 mil in 27', 25 mil in 28')

Sign RP **Hunter Harvey**\~ 1 year 4 million 

Sign **Tyler Kinley**\~ 1 year 3 million 

Trade for catcher **Joey Bart** (FA after 2027) 2.25 million in arbitration 

These additions add up to a total of 31.75 million. With the additions plus the guaranteed contracts and arbitration eligible players it should add up to around million. Once again my math could be off obviously
