A continuing look at the Rangers 40-man roster: JOHN KINGAge: 26Left-Handed Pitcher The Rangers tenth-round pick in the 2017 draft, King was one of a handful of players who made it into a major league game without having any experience above A-Ball.  He didn’t shine. But, then again, nobody expected […]

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.

A continuing look at the Rangers 40-man roster. TYLER HEARNAge: 26Left-Handed Pitcher Hearn was grateful for one thing in 2020. He got the opportunity to drop his major league ERA below 108.00.  He is certainly a talent in demand. He was drafted by the Pirates in 2012. By the Reds […]

A continuing look at the Rangers 40-man 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.
