OTF Premium Texas adds to baseball transfer portal haul with Long Beach State OF Trevor Goldenetz

🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼

Dude screams 9 hole and I don’t mean that in a bad way. 

“Great kid. Big upside.”

From a friend.

I tend to agree. A good ole fashioned contact speedster from the bottom of the order who can play all 3 spots in the outfield. 

Gotta love it, honestly. I don’t expect him to hit .370 in the sec/all season but if you can get anything close to .300 or a tick below/above at the bottom, it’s a good get.

Portal additions so far:

3B Linkin Garcia — 4 HR … .877 OPS

C Ian Armstrong — 16 HR … 1.069 OPS

OF Sawyer Solitaria — 16 HR … .954 OPS

OF Trevor Goldenetz — 0 HR … .895 OPS

 

I suspect there’s room for one more OF. 

Think we go after the kid from Oregon?

Does he play LG sorry wrong thread

Anything close to .300 will be better than what Texas had in the bottom third of the order at the end of the season.

100%

Thanks Blake! I Don’t want to worry too much about outgoing guys, but was Monsour set to get a ton of time? Is he a big loss?

I sit here and wonder if Texas will have the top end power/HR ability that we saw in the heart of the order in 2026. 

I still suspect they aren’t done, but we will see. 

That would be nice, but they need a bit more power throughout the lineup for those occasions where the big guns don't do so well (see the 2026 World Series)

This guy basically replaced Monsour.

The lack of power by our additions is a bit underwhelming. I dont want a repeat of this years lineup 

Other than the Oregon OF. Is there any other targets out there that you can tell us?

We have added two guys who hit 16 home runs and another one who is 6’4 with a profile that screams an uptick in power is coming.

Is your take that the lineup this year lacked power? They hit 105 home runs while playing 80% of their games a pitcher friendly park.

Can he hit a slider??

Do we have anyone else visiting today?

Stoked to finally have a Dirtbag on the roster!🤘

Add Laya (14 HRs), retain Borba (18 HRs), and get a full season of ABs from ARod, and I’m guessing we have 5-6 players with double digit HRs in the lineup next season.

I also expect the Frosh on this list (Pack, Laya, Garcia) to see their HR numbers go up in year 2 of their careers.

I’ll take some hit for average put the ball in play guys any day.
