Texas Rangers


Winter shopping.

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 […]


Garcia and Heim gone.

Baseball can be a cruel sport to play. On Cloud Nine one minute, on the way out of the door the next minute. Friday, the Rangers cut Adolis Garcia and Jonah Heim. It would be cruel if it wasn’t deserved. According to BaseballReference.com, of the 155 players to have accumulated […]


Non-tender deadline is Friday.

The non-tender deadline is Friday. That’s the day teams decide whether they want to offer a contract to player who are eligible for arbitration or let them go into free agency. The website MLBTradeRumors.com predicts four Rangers hitters will be non-tendered: catcher Jonah Heim, first baseman Jake Burger, right fielder […]


Chris Young has his hands full.

The offseason is here. The Rangers have been very active, losing their manager, pitching coach, hitting coach, catching coach and third-base coach.

Mike Maddux leaving Rangers.

There will be a Game 7 tonight. And while that is glorious because of the drama and gut churning on every pitch for fans of both teams, for fans of the Rangers, all we have gotten so far this offseason is punched in the gut. First, the Rangers Hall of […]


Game 5 dominated by rookie pitcher.

This World Series seems to have a lot of storylines. Addison Barger becoming the first player to hit a pinch-hit grand slam in Game 1. Yoshinobu Yamamoto throwing a complete game, his second in a row in the playoffs, in Game 2. Game 3 was an eighteen-inning nailbiter, with Shohei […]


Toronto ties the series.

News flash. Shohei Ohtani is human. Read all about it. After getting on base a ridiculous nine times in Game 3, with two doubles, two home runs (including the game-tying homer in the seventh), and five walks, the three-time (and soon to be four) MVP took the mound, to follow […]
