MacKenzie Gore was a top prospect after San Diego drafted him third overall in 2017. He was destined for front-of-the-rotation stardom. Funny thing happens to baseball prospects once they get called up. Cruel reality sets in. Gore didn’t escape it. He made it to the big leagues with the Padres […]
The Collective Bargaining Agreement between players and owners expires at the end of the 2026 season. Enjoy this season. It will be the last one for a while. Any hope of avoiding a work stoppage went out the window yesterday when The New York Times reported owners will push for a salary […]
Chris Young, the Rangers president of baseball operations, said Friday that the Rangers are “likely set” on the position player side of their roster, and are now just looking for arms to fill out their bullpen and rotation. Let’s hope “likely” is GM-speak. Otherwise, it’s going to be another long […]
Ten days into 2026 and the Rangers are still trying to fill out a roster on the cheap. They just picked up Zak Kent, a perfectly non-descript reliever they drafted back in 2019 then traded away. He was DFAed by Cleveland. The twenty-seven-year-old righty has kicked around the minor leagues […]
The Rangers close out the 2025 offseason about the same way they played the 2025 season. With a whimper. They signed right-handed reliever Nabil Crismatt. It’s a minor league deal, meaning they don’t think enough of him to take up a spot n the 40-man roster, and meaning Nabil Crismatt […]
The Rangers have been busy at the Dollar Store. Almost the same time the Rangers signed catcher Danny Jansen, they signed a former closer in Alexis Diaz and another bullpen arm in Tyler Alexander. Alexis Diaz. Diaz is a twenty-nine-year-old former reliable closer for the Reds. The key word here […]
The Rangers offense got a little better with the announcement that they have signed catcher Danny Jansen to a two-year, 14.5-million-dollar deal. The thirty-year-old right-hand batting catcher has had a couple down seasons at the plate after seven really strong years in Toronto. In fact, 2022 was his best year, […]
The Winter Meetings came and went, and the Rangers were quiet. They signed infielder Tyler Wade to a minor league deal and traded for Carter Baumler, who the Pirates had just selected in the Rule 5 Draft. The loudest noise they made was insisting Corey Seager will not be traded. […]
The Winter Meetings start Monday, and it’s anyone’s guess what the Rangers will do. They have so many holes to fill, and only a tiny spoon with which to dig. In swapping out Marcus Semien for Brandon Nimmo, the Rangers offense has invproved a bit. But it had more than […]
Happy Thanksgiving to everyone in RR3 Nation. Let’s hope we can continue being thankful that Chris Young and the GM nobody’s ever heard of named Ross Fenstermaker bring more badly needed offense to this team. And a closer. Unlike at the trade deadline when the Rangers desperately needed a bat […]
