Elvis Andrus signed a minor league deal with the Arizona Diamondbacks yesterday. Which brought up the thought: Where have other former Rangers gone? The crop that led to six straight losing seasons, and a decade of futility, are all still holding on to the dream in one form or another.

Joey Gallo is batting .124 with no home runs so far this spring for the Washington Nationals.

Rougned Odor is playing in Japan with the Yomiuri Giants.

Willie Calhoun signed a minor league deal with the Los Angeles Angels.

Ronald Guzmán signed a minor league deal with the Baltimore Orioles.

Nomar Mazara is playing with Sultantes de Monterrey in the Mexican League.

Leonys Martin is also playing in the Mexican League, with Conspiradores de Queretaro.

Fortunately, objects in the mirror are much further away. The road ahead, for once, looks bright.
