The annual MLB Pipeline Top 100 Prospects list is out. The Rangers have four players on the list. In fact, they have two of the top six players: outfielders Evan Carter at number five and Wyatt Langford at number six. Shorstop Sabastian Wolcott comes in at 71, and right-handed pitcher […]
The bullpen was their Achilles Heel last year. So, the Rangers have added to it this offseason. They signed Kirby Yates. Traded for Daniel Duarte. And, yesterday, signed David Robertson, a thirty-eight-year-old right-handed closer who split his time between the Mets and the Marlins in 2023. It was the tale […]
If there was every any doubt, there shouldn’t have been. Adrian Beltre belonged in the Hall of Fame. Period. Yet, 4.9 percent of Hall of Fame voters didn’t vote for him. Those writers are known by their more familiar name: Idiots. Eleven voters didn’t cast ballots for Babe Ruth back […]
In an offseason as dull as a Super Bowl halftime show, any news is news. And at least the Rangers have some news to report. The Rangers have reached agreements with seven of the eight arbitration eligible players on the their roster. Nathaniel Lowe, Dane Dunning, Jonah Heim, Leody Taveras, […]

Major League Baseball has announced a few rules changes for 2024. They are certainly not as drastic as the changes made last offseason and implemented in 2023, that added a pitch clock which made the game crisper, and eliminated the shift which made the game fairer. Perhaps the biggest change […]
It’s been a slow, boring offseason. Not much to report or talk about.. And yesterday that trend contented when the Rangers announced they signed Tyler Mahle to a two-year deal. A sore-armed, broken down pitcher? Is Jon Daniels back? Okay, it’s not that bad. But this one is somewhat of […]
The Rangers started their long-awaited rebuild of their bullpen yesterday by signing free agent Kirby Yates. It was a bullpen that blew more saves than it converted, yet somehow held on through the playoffs, thanks to Jose Leclerc and Josh Sborz. But the Rangers cannot go through an entire season […]
Some times these are too difficult to write. It’s with profound sadness that I pass along the news that one of our fellow Rangers Rounding 3rd friends needs as many thoughts, prayers, good wishes, and luck that we can send his way. Nathan Whitten, who posts here as John Ed […]
