We can discuss things like who is playing centerfield, what is the rotation going to look like, who is going to step and and be the closer. But what’s really important as the Rangers head into 2025 is what is new to eat at The Shed? The Rangers announced they […]
The Rangers have waved Dane Dunning. Teams have forty-eight hours in which to make a claim for him. They must pick up the entirety of his $2.66 million salary. Texas acquired Dunning in a trade with the Chicago White Sox for Lance Lynn in 2021. He had been a first-round […]
Jack Leiter pitched six innings yesterday, giving up three runs. That is officially a quality start: six innings or more, three earned runs or fewer. This should be enough of a good spring training to earn Leiter a slot in the Rangers rotation, even if temporarily until Cody Bradford comes […]
Today is the final game in Surprise, Arizona. Then, the Rangers load up the bats and balls and helmets and all the equipment and drive it all back to Arlington for two games against the Royals Monday and Tuesday. Then an off day. Then, opening day on Thursday. Most publications […]
There’s a week left in spring training. This is the point where it gets monotonous. You see the finish line. You see opening day staring at you. You just want to get the season started. But spring training still matter for some people. Look at the Rangers games last night. […]
Leody Taveras continues to struggle in spring. Evan Carter continues to show he cannot hit lefties in spring. He’s not tearing it up against righties either. Alejandro Osuna continues to hit the ball hard every at-bat he gets in spring. He had one at-bat in yesterday’s 3-2 loss to Seattle […]
Desperation, thy name is Patrick Corbin. After losing Jon Gray to a wrist fracture and Cody Bradford to a sore forearm, and with Tyler Mahle and Jacob deGrom just one pitch away from their seasons ending, the Rangers needed an innings eater. They went with Patrick Corbin, of all people. […]
For two teams, the season started today. Los Angeles and Chicago—the relevant franchises from each market, the Dodgers and Cubs—play this morning and tomorrow morning in the Tokyo Series in Japan. Shohei Ohtani, Yoshinobu Yamamoto, and Roki Sasaki play for the Dodgers. The Cubs have Seiya Suzuki and Shota Imanaga. […]
The long, sad saga of Joey Gallo reaches an interesting twist. Unable to catch on with the White Sox—the most miserable team in the history of Major League Baseball—Gallo has decided he is going to give it a shot as a pitcher. Makes sense. He hits like a pitcher. And […]
Just when it was looking a little bad, it got worse. Jon Gray is going to be out for a couple months with a broken wrist after taking a 108-mile-per-hour line drive off his hand. With Cody Bradford out for six weeks, and Tyler Mahle experiencing forearm stiffness, that’s three […]
