Rangers add Gore.

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 […]


Ready, set, stumble.

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 […]


More meh from the Rangers.

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 […]


A Crismatt gift.

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 […]


Happy Thanksgiving.

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 […]


Brandon Nimmo for Marcus Semien.

This might not make the Rangers cheaper, but it does make the offense better. The Rangers have acquired outfielder Brandon Nimmo from the Mets. All it cost them was Marcus Semien.  Taking money out of the equation, it seems the Rangers pulled a fast one on the Mets. Semien is […]


No action.

The General Managers meetings in Las Vegas have concluded with no trades, not by the Rangers or any team. It’s still early in the offseason process. It’s always interesting to see who the first free agent domino is to fall. That gets the ball rolling. Some people love the hot […]


Subtraction time.

The General Managers Meetings start today in Las Vegas, an ironic choice of cities considering the gambling scandal going on in baseball now. Rangers President of Baseball Operations Chris Young and their General Manager nobody has ever heard of Russ Fenstermaker will have the unenviable task of trying to fill […]


Can Yamamoto channel Gibson?

Game 6 is tonight, and if you are a Dodgers fan, you have the right guy on the mound going for you, as you desperately need to win the final two games in Toronto. Yoshinobu Yamamoto has thrown two consecutive complete games. One in the playoffs, one in the World […]
