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 […]
When the final seconds tick off to the Super Bowl, and all that nonsense is finally over, the most glorious time of the year arrives. Time for baseball. Pitchers and catchers return this week. The World Baseball Classic returns in early March. The 2026 season arrives in late March, and […]
MacKenzie Gore was a top prospect after San Diego drafted him third overall in 2017. He was destined for front-of-the-rotation stardom. Funny thing happens to baseball prospects once they get called up. Cruel reality sets in. Gore didn’t escape it. He made it to the big leagues with the Padres […]
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 […]
The Winter Meetings came and went, and the Rangers were quiet. They signed infielder Tyler Wade to a minor league deal and traded for Carter Baumler, who the Pirates had just selected in the Rule 5 Draft. The loudest noise they made was insisting Corey Seager will not be traded. […]
Happy Thanksgiving to everyone in RR3 Nation. Let’s hope we can continue being thankful that Chris Young and the GM nobody’s ever heard of named Ross Fenstermaker bring more badly needed offense to this team. And a closer. Unlike at the trade deadline when the Rangers desperately needed a bat […]
