After thirty-two years of covering the Rangers, writer T. R. Sullivan is calling it quits. Here’s wishing him a happy retirement and a tipping of the collective cap to his career. Thirty-two years is quite an accomplishment. He published his last article on MLB.com yesterday. He leaves with a few […]
A continuing look at the Rangers 40-man roster. ISIAH KINER-FALAFAAge: 25Right-Handed Infielder The Rangers were desperate for a drafting success story. Desperate being the operative word. So, they took their fourth-round pick of the 2013 draft, a kid drafted as a shortstop out of high school in Honolulu, and decided […]
A continuing look at the Rangers 40-man roster. SAM HUFFAge: 22Right-Handed Hitting Catcher The Rangers could sure use a drafting success story and Huff might just be it. The only player of any consequence the Rangers have drafted and developed over the past dozen years has been Joey Gallo. The […]
A continuing look at the Rangers 40-man roster. JONATHAN HERNANDEZAge: 25Right-Handed Pitcher When you throw 100 miles per hour, people are going to want you on their roster.

RONALD GUZMANAge: 27Left-Handed Hitting First Baseman In spring, the Rangers tried to give away Guzman’s roster spot but they couldn’t find anyone who could hit. Greg Bird couldn’t. Ronald Guzman couldn’t. But since Isiah Kiner-Falefa was hitting, they moved Todd Frazier over […]
Chris Young, it seems, is living up to his name. He is making the Rangers much younger. In yesterday’s trade of Rafael Montero to the Seattle Mariners, they swapped a thirty-year-old pitcher for one that’s just seventeen. After bouncing back from Tommy John surgery, Rafael Montero had two highly productive […]
A continuing look at the Rangers 40-man roster: KYLE GIBSONAge: 33Right-Handed Pitcher Now that the the Rangers tradde Lance Lynn, that makes Kyle Gibson the Rangers opening day starter.
