Rangers bring back Montgomery.

Jordan Montgomery is coming back to the Rangers. In the words of the Grateful Dead, what a long, strange trip it’s been. The thirty-three-year-old right-handed pitcher spent six solid seasons with the Yankees, was traded to the Cardinals at the deadline of 2022, pitched well for Saint Louis, then traded […]


Walcott coming, maybe just not yet.

The Rangers emptied their prospects pantry to get MacKenzie Gore. This was a farm system that was already void of depth. But the one player they held tight was Sebastian Walcott. He seems to have been on the Rangers prospect radar for a decade. Somehow, Walcott is only nineteen. He’s […]


The final season.

The Collective Bargaining Agreement between players and owners expires at the end of the 2026 season. Enjoy this season. It will be the last one for a while. Any hope of avoiding a work stoppage went out the window yesterday when The New York Times reported owners will push for a salary […]


Rangers pick up two discount arms.

The Rangers have been busy at the Dollar Store. Almost the same time the Rangers signed catcher Danny Jansen, they signed a former closer in Alexis Diaz and another bullpen arm in Tyler Alexander.

The Winter Meetings start Monday, and it’s anyone’s guess what the Rangers will do. They have so many holes to fill, and only a tiny spoon with which to dig. In swapping out Marcus Semien for Brandon Nimmo, the Rangers offense has invproved a bit. But it had more than […]


Garcia and Heim gone.

Baseball can be a cruel sport to play. On Cloud Nine one minute, on the way out of the door the next minute. Friday, the Rangers cut Adolis Garcia and Jonah Heim. It would be cruel if it wasn’t deserved. According to BaseballReference.com, of the 155 players to have accumulated […]


Non-tender deadline is Friday.

The non-tender deadline is Friday. That’s the day teams decide whether they want to offer a contract to player who are eligible for arbitration or let them go into free agency. The website MLBTradeRumors.com predicts four Rangers hitters will be non-tendered: catcher Jonah Heim, first baseman Jake Burger, right fielder […]


Chris Young has his hands full.

The offseason is here. The Rangers have been very active, losing their manager, pitching coach, hitting coach, catching coach and third-base coach. Eventually, it will be time to get to the actual big league roster. Rangers president Chris Young is under a microscope here. He came in as GM and […]
