Colorado Rockies shortstop Trevor Story is one of the hot commodities in this offseason’s free agent market. While Story isn’t on the same echelon as Carlos Correa and Corey Seager — the two shortstops expect to garnered the biggest deals this offseason — he’s an All Star caliber player who has averaged 5.8 bWAR per 162 games played in his career, has finished in the top twelve in the MVP voting three times, and, having just turned 29 this month, figures to have several more years of high level performance left in him.
The Texas Rangers are among the teams that have been linked to Story, and while the fact of his Metroplex roots is a factor in that, the team has consistently been reported to be pursuing one of the big time shortstops this offseason, and Story would be a fit.
