It’s ready. And it looks wonderful. The Rangers new ballpark was set to open today. Instead, this worldwide mess. No throwing out the first pitch to christen the new park. No throwing out the first insult at Rougned Odor. Both will have to wait. No first home run or first […]
Jesse Sanchez of MLB.com took out his crystal ball and named the one future All-Star for every team in the A.L. West. Either he needs to take his crystal ball into the shop or the Rangers are in some trouble. Because for every other team, he lists a prospect that […]
Here is how Joey Gallo is staying in shape during the shutdown. What could possibly go wrong here?
