It’s the last day in the sun. More accurately, today is the last in Arizona. Their Grapefruit League schedule ends today. After an off day tomorrow, the Rangers return to The Baseball Shed to play two exhibition games with the Royals Monday and Tuesday, travel on Wednesday, and open the […]
Team USA won its first World Baseball Classic pool game against Brazil. That was no surprise. This is a stacked team, top to bottom, and it should have no problem cruising all the way to the final, gold medal game. Brazil isn’t known as a baseball powerhouse. In fact, there […]
And the first Rangers home run of the spring goes to… Nobody. Yet. After three games, the Rangers have yet to hit a home run. It’s not that big of a deal because these are meaningless games, but it is odd. Hopefully, it’s not a peek into what’s to come. […]
Whether you like it or hate it, arguing with the ump over balls and strikes has been a part of baseball forever. Now, most of that joy or consternation is going away. After years of experimentation in the minor leagues, Major League Baseball is set to unveil its ABS Challenge […]
Pitchers and catchers report in a couple days, and the Rangers are still looking to add an arm to the rotation. Right now, it consists of Nathan Eovaldi and Jacob deGrom as one-two. MacKenzie Gore is three. Jack Leiter four. But there is competition for the fifth starter. Kumar Rocker […]

Chris Young, the Rangers president of baseball operations, said Friday that the Rangers are “likely set” on the position player side of their roster, and are now just looking for arms to fill out their bullpen and rotation. Let’s hope “likely” is GM-speak. Otherwise, it’s going to be another long […]
Ten days into 2026 and the Rangers are still trying to fill out a roster on the cheap. They just picked up Zak Kent, a perfectly non-descript reliever they drafted back in 2019 then traded away. He was DFAed by Cleveland. The twenty-seven-year-old righty has kicked around the minor leagues […]
The Rangers close out the 2025 offseason about the same way they played the 2025 season. With a whimper. They signed right-handed reliever Nabil Crismatt. It’s a minor league deal, meaning they don’t think enough of him to take up a spot n the 40-man roster, and meaning Nabil Crismatt […]
