Where is the sense of urgency? The Rangers don’t have a whole lot more left in the season to start trying to win games. After finally winning a game to break an ill-timed four-game losing streak, the Rangers pretty much absolutely had to win yesterday. Losing two out of three […]
Suddenly, MacKenzie Gore is the Rangers ace. Well, if not ace, he’s their number one starter. Jacob deGrom is injured, so is Nathan Eovaldi. Kumar Rocker is still a work in progress, as is injured Jack Leiter. Cal Quantrill is a long-reliever pressed into starter duty because of the rotation […]
The Rangers made a statement at the trade deadline. They were going for it. They were all in. They were going to be major buyers. After all, they were just 2.5 games out of first and could smell a division title coming. So, they opened their wallet and emptied their […]
