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, […]
Merry Christmas to everyone in RR3 Nation. Mitch Garver signed with Seattle so the Rangers need a DH, a closer, and an starting pitcher who can start the season. Other than that, they are looking strong.

I’m proud to announce the release of the album “Little Holes” by The Four Baggers. Who the heck are The Four Baggers? And what does this have to do with Rangers Rounding 3rd? You may know them. It’s me and fellow Rangers Rounding 3rd poster Eli Saenz. You remember Eli? […]
The Hall of Fame Ballot came out yesterday. Number 29 is on it. Adrian Beltre was a good player when, at age thirty-two, and after thirteen major league seasons, he signed as a free agent with the Rangers. Eight seasons later, he was a Hall of Fame-caliber player. Beltre started […]
In news that is not surprising: Marcus Semien won the American League Silver Slugger award for second basemen. He led the A.L. in hits, with 185, and runs, 122. He drive in 100, and had 73 extra-base hits. Oh, by they way, he is a finalist for MVP. Corey Seager […]
It’s awards season. The Rangers already took home the biggest award of all. But it’s nice for individual players to be honored. Yesterday, three Rangers won Gold Glove Awards. Nathanial Lowe at first, Jonah Heim at catcher, and Adolis Garcia in right. The only other team in the American League with […]
