In an effort to generate additional revenue, the Rangers have sold the rights to Sam Dyson to the Arlington Heart Clinic. The Rangers get a portion of the proceeds generated for every batter he faces, which is currently $300,000 per at-bat.

Sam Dyson picked up his twentieth save yesterday to move into a tie for eighth place in the American League.

With it came six hundred twenty-six cases of cardiac arrest, ninety-five reported incidences of heart failure, six thousand reported arrhythmias, seven hundred fifty open heart surgeries, ninety-two triple bi-passes, over two thousand accounts of sudden high blood pressure, and sixty-two thousand cases of stress related incidences caused by forced usage of phrases featuring a certain word beginning with the letter F.

All that for a two-game winning streak.
