These signings barely registered a blip on the radar, and that absence of noise tells you everything you need to know about how the baseball world views this move. The Rangers adding Bradford and Freeman on minor league deals is the organizational equivalent of restocking office supplies — necessary, unremarkable, and unlikely to spark any meaningful conversation. Bradford's left-handed arm gives Texas some bullpen depth on paper, but the media consensus is clear that this is a Triple-A roster filler move with virtually no path to big-league impact. Fan reaction has been correspondingly flat, with most Rangers supporters not even registering these signings as worth a mention in offseason discourse. When a transaction generates this little enthusiasm from both the press and the fanbase, a D- sentiment grade is the only honest verdict.
