The Rangers head into the All-Star break on a high note after beating the Astros two out of three. It wasn’t so much that they won the series, it was how they won it. Friday’s Game 1, they had a 3-0 lead, blew it, then came storming back with four […]
Yesterday was the first round of the 2026 player draft. The Rangers are all giddy about their pick. With the sixteenth pick in the draft, they were able to snag a kid who was ranked as eighth best prospect. That’s pretty good value. His name is Gio Rojas, and he’s […]
One of the best things about baseball is it’s filled with stories about unsung heroes. Guys who have failed, persevered, and came out on the other side. Cal Quantrill is one of those guys. This is his eighth major league season, and sixth team. Which means, he has been DFAed […]
What if being average is good enough in the American League West? The Rangers, who finished 81-81 last year and nine games out of first, are textbook average. But average this year is good enough to win the A.L. West. Nobody is good in this division. But here’s the tricky […]
Is it too late to return MacKenzie Gore? Okay, maybe he’s slightly used, so Texas gets only three or four of the prospects they dealt for him back, not all five. Like a restocking fee. Let the Washington Nationals keep something for him. Gore would be better served as a […]
You have to wonder where the Rangers would be without Elias Diaz. He was nowhere on the Rangers radar when the season started. Diaz started the season with the Royals, played ten games, hit .227 but had a decent .852 OPS. Still, Kansas City cut him. Luckily for the Rangers, […]
It didn’t take long for Josh Smith to be unbanished from the minor leagues. All it took were injuries to Corey Seager and Wyatt Langford to open a space for him. Mainly, they had nobody else to bring up. Being optioned was a wake up call for Smith. It happened four […]
And just like that, the Rangers are back at .500. They had a nice run, then reality set in. There’s only so much you can expect of the bottom end of their rotation. But if there is good news to be taken out of the 6-3 loss to Detroit, and […]
The Rangers have one All-Star. It’s not a hitter. It’s not a starter. It’s their closer, Jacob Latz. That’s it. Not to diminish what Latz has done this year. He’s grabbed the closer role that the Rangers have not had for the past two seasons, and has not only held […]
Soon, the Rangers are going to need to make a decision on Corey Seager. You remember him, don’t you? He played shortstop for the 2023 World Champion Texas Rangers, won the Series MVP as a matter of fact, the second time he won that honor. Since then, he’s dabbled in baseball, […]
