For this Rangers team to break out of its two year offensive funk will require a bounce back season from so many players. One of those being Jake Burger. Burger was never the centerpiece of an offense. You don’t build a team around Jake Burger. He’s a final piece of […]
Seager and Semien. Semien and Seager. They were the one-two punch in the Rangers lineup, the dynamic duo that made the 2023 World Series Championship happen, along with Adolis Garcia. They both signed huge free agent contract to play with the Rangers one day apart from each other before the […]
It’s not much, but then again, there’s not much to talk about in spring training. It’s always the same thing. Guys come into camp in the best shape of their lives. Guys come into camp looking to have the best seasons of their careers. The team looks strong. The energy […]
Looking for help at first base, the Rangers have signed veteran Mark Canha on a minor league deal. It’s a good deal for both. The Rangers get veteran leadership and depth at first, a position they were razor thin last year once Jake Burger went down. Canha gets a chance […]

He might even miss the entire season. If so, that will be a huge blow to his development, considering the almost certain loss of […]
Jordan Montgomery is coming back to the Rangers. In the words of the Grateful Dead, what a long, strange trip it’s been. The thirty-three-year-old right-handed pitcher spent six solid seasons with the Yankees, was traded to the Cardinals at the deadline of 2022, pitched well for Saint Louis, then traded […]
The Rangers emptied their prospects pantry to get MacKenzie Gore. This was a farm system that was already void of depth. But the one player they held tight was Sebastian Walcott. He seems to have been on the Rangers prospect radar for a decade. Somehow, Walcott is only nineteen. He’s […]
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 […]
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.
