The Rangers knew Adrian deserved it. The fans knew Adrian deserved it, and the Texas Rangers made it happen. Adrian Beltre will be the 24th person inducted into the Texas Rangers Hall of Fame. He came to Arlington in 2011, retired in 2018, but stayed in Ranger fans’ hearts long after. He saw a World Series, was a 4-time All-Star, …
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. …
I AM NOT A PREACHER! In the Bible, there is a story about Jonah. He turned from God, got in a boat, was thrown out of the boat, swallowed by a fish, and spent three days in there before being spit out. The title of this has nothing to do with that. It was just an attention grabber to get …
The Texas Rangers pulled off a massive trade sending Elvis Andrus to the Oakland A’s for slugging outfielder Khris Davis. (in the voice of an infomercial) But wait, there’s more! Texas is sending the A’s $13.5 million to cover part of his remaining contract plus minor league catcher Aramis Garcia. The A’s are sending the Rangers two prospects in catcher …
2020 continues to get the best of everyone, with the latest victim being Elvis Andrus being replaced by Isiah Kiner-Falefa. The Rangers also signed new General Manager Chris Young to the staff. With changes starting to happen within the team, it almost seems like Chris Woodward is sitting in the hot seat going into 2021. Over his first two seasons …
The Rangers announced Tuesday that Andrus has been replaced at shortstop by Gold Glove third baseman, Isiah Kiner-Falefa, first reported by Evan Grant. The year 2020 was not kind to Elvis, as he played in only 29 of 60 games, hitting a paltry .194 in that span. It was bad, but with a salary of $14M coming up for him …
It has become apparent that the Rangers are not expected to big huge players in the free-agent market. The names Trevor Bauer, George Springer, J.T. Realmuto, D.J. LeMahieu, and Marcell Ozuna are names that any team could use. The Rangers will not be players on any of them except possibly Ozuna. There is, however, one player they should be all …
I’ve decided to start a new thing called, “The Recliner Monologues”. My brain can go into overload with crazy ideas or opinions on all things Texas Rangers. Although it may be dangerous to unleash this on the public, I figured why not. My wife has to deal with my brain everyday and she is a saint. Why shouldn’t I expose …
After the Rangers lost their final exhibition game to the Colorado Rockies, manager Chris Woodward started out his post-game press conference with an announcement. “So, I will tell you guys our final roster moves I guess”, he started out. “We kept Ian Gibaut, Kolby Allard, and Joe Palumbo for our bullpen. We also kept Guzman, Refsnyder, Heineman, and Taveras”, he …
The Texas Rangers open the season this Friday, July 24th against the Colorado Rockies. Due to COVID, they are allowed to start the season with 30 players. They have to pair it back to 28 after one week and then back to 26 at the end of two weeks. It’s is time to make roster predictions. Players in Bold are …
