The Texas Rangers 2023 season is well underway, and boy, things have been going well for the boys from the Lone Star State. Through the first 18 games of the season, Texas currently sits 12-6, three games ahead of the Angels for first place in the AL West. Obviously, standings don’t mean much less than 20 games into a 162-game …
Cole Ragans is having a great spring training. He has struck out 20 of the batters he has faced and only walked 4. Ragans has pitched in 13 innings, giving him a 13.8 strikeouts per 9 innings pitched. That’s good, in case you don’t know. His velocity is up significantly from 2022. He is hovering around 95 mph and in …
The Texas Rangers and Martin Perez have agreed to the qualifying offer of $19.65MM. That is a significant raise from 2022 for Perez. Now that the Rangers have 3/5ths of their rotation in place, it is time for me to project what it will look like in 2023. I always enjoy trying to guess how the roster will look. Opening …
Texas Rangers fans are having trouble seeing positives at the moment. I mean, who can blame them really? The team is 2-7, the team ERA is 6.19, last in all of the MLB. The bullpen has been nothing short of embarrassing. However, there are some positives that we can look at as a fanbase. Enjoy my “glass half full” look …
The offseason acquisitions are yet to be completed thanks (or no thanks) to the CBA negotiations. Prior to the lockout though, the Texas Rangers were able to make a flurry of high-level moves. These moves have already set the tone for the 2022 season. Texas is expected to continue spending in their most expensive offseason ever once the lockout is …
The Texas Rangers haven’t exactly been the hotbed for burgeoning stars. It’s approaching a decade since the likes of Kinsler, Andrus, Feliz, and Holland stepped into to scene in a big way. We’ve had hopes come and go, though. Ronald Guzman is the latest to fizzle out but prior to that Nomar Mazara and Jurickson Profar were dashing hopes. Joey …
I am about to say something that is hardly ever said about the Texas Rangers. The pitching future looks bright. There are valid complaints to have about the Rangers ownership and front office. But the Rangers have done something impressive during this rebuild that cannot be argued. The pitching in the organization is good. Very good………in fact………it may be the …
In the four-game series against the Yankees, the Rangers started hot, beating Cy Young winner Garrett Cole in the opening game. After that, the bats went dead, and the biggest issue with the Rangers reared its ugly head once again. Between a no-hitter and losing 9 out of the last 10 games, the Rangers haven’t shown the consistency at the …
This past offseason saw the Texas Rangers make three key trades that the organization felt was necessary to move on as the rebuild continued. Lance Lynn was traded to the White Sox in exchange for Dane Dunning. Elvis Andrus, who had lost his starting shortstop job to Isiah Kiner-Falefa, was dealt to Oakland for Khris Davis and catcher Jonah Heim. …
The season is early, but the Rangers are already reaping from young players from trades and dealings earlier this year. This past series against the Blue Jays opened a lot of eyes and raised many hopes for this young lineup for the rest of the season. Guys like Jonah Heim, Nate Lowe, and Dane Dunning came in with some buzz …
