We are less than a week from the Opening Day and it’s time to put out our final roster prediction. I got together with Chris Halicke of Sports Illustrated and Alex Plinck of Dallas Sports Fanatic to do a series of predictions for final roster spots. We did one for the Rangers Nation Podcast first. Then we got back together …
April 1st is looming along with some very tough decisions that the Texas Rangers have to make. Going over final roster decisions, there could be as many as 5 non roster invitees that deserve to make this team. That would force the Rangers to clear five spots in the process. With a young roster, this could force some eye opening …
There are a lot of full roster predictions out there for opening day 2021. In fact the Rangers Nation Podcast did a ‘Way Too Early Prediction ” episode with Alex Plinck of Dallas Sports Fanatic and Chris Halicke of Sports Illustrated. The plan is to do another one very soon. We haven’t decided which podcast it will air on. I …
Should Nate Lowe begin the 2021 season in Round Rock? This is not the question the Rangers were planning on asking themselves. In a trade that had most Texas fans excited about this coming season, the Rangers went and got what they assumed was their new starting first baseman.

Pitchers and catchers are reporting to Surprise, AZ today for the start of spring training. Every season, teams around MLB invite non roster players to spring training.

We finish off our Top 20 countdown with the Top 5 Dallas Sports Nation prospects. Once again, we explain our criteria. To be on the DSN Top 20 list, you cannot have played one inning of major-league baseball. That leaves off players like Sam Huff, Anderson Tejeda, and newly acquired Dane Dunning. Let’s recap… 20-16 15-11 10-6 With that, here …

We continue our countdown of the Top 20 Texas Rangers prospects. Now we begin the Top 10. We have already gone through 20-16 and then last week 15-11.
