While the signings of Corey Seager and Marcus Semien were huge, Rangers fans have to use a bit of caution to not get too carried away. This team won only 60 games last year. It was 23-players shy of having a 25-man major league roster. Seager and Semium are only […]
The one issue that seems to be on the top of the players’ agenda during this labor negotiation is tanking. It’s teams deliberately being bad for a number of seasons in a row to get top draft choices, in an effort to rebuild. The Rangers have been doing it for […]
When this whole labor mess first cropped up, the worry was that it would be long and painful and the 2022 season would suffer greatly. Games would be lost. Maybe a lot of games.
