With the start of the season just four days away, and the Rangers being done with Surprise, Arizona, for 2023, it’s time for the annual predictions. If you recall, three wild card teams in each league make the playoffs. The teams in bold are the post-season teams. World Series: San […]
There aren’t many surprises left in Surprise. There are so few going into any spring training. Rosters are mostly set every year. It’s not like Corey Seager has to come in and turn heads and see if he can make the team. The Rangers had their five-man rotation set beforehand. […]
