Thursday Morning Links
Morning, all! Sam Haggerty would like to be the right handed bat the Rangers have been looking for after a productive turn as half a platoon was ended by an ankle injury last year. Josh Sborz is also hoping to return to a productive role after shoulder issues limited him to less than 20 innings […]

Wednesday Morning Links
Morning, all! With the arrival of automated ball and strike calling and a challenge system the Rangers are trying to figure out how they are going to leverage it to the benefit of their more discerning hitters. Kyle Higashioka and Danny Jansen are using the positionally appropriate Crash Davis cliche list to respond to questions […]
Tony Clark resigning as MLBPA executive director
MLBPA Executive Director Tony Clark is expected to announce his resignation imminently, per the Athletic. The Athletic piece, under the byline of Evan Drellich, Ken Rosenthal and Andy McCullough, calls this a “stunning development,” and its hard to disagree. The current collective bargaining agreement expires at the end of this year, and a change in […]

Robert Duvall, one of the stars of the best baseball movie ever, has passed away
Robert Duvall, who played Max Mercy in the best baseball ever made, “The Natural,” has died at the age of 95, it was announced today. The Natural came out when I was 13 years old — an awkward age for me, and for most everyone, I think. Anyone who says they were happy, well-adjusted and […]

Fangraphs top 100 prospect list is out
The Fangraphs top 100 prospect list for 2026 is out, and the Texas Rangers have a surprisingly impressive showing, with five prospects making the cut.

Sunday morning Rangers things
Good morning, folks… Joc Pederson is motivated after a career-worst 2025 season. Kumar Rocker is fighting for the fifth starter spot after a rocky 2025. Rule 5 pick Carter Baumler provides velocity for a bullpen that is lacking in that regard. Jordan Montgomery is very happy to be back with the Texas Rangers. David Laurila […]
Montgomery signed, Kent DFA’d
The Texas Rangers officially signed Jordan Montgomery on Friday. To make room for him on the 40 man roster, the team has designated pitcher Zak Kent for assignment.

Friday morning Rangers things
Good morning, LSB. The Rangers were dealt a fairly devastating blow Thursday as top prospect Sebastian Walcott will miss most or all of the 2026 season due to a UCL tear. Woof. Walcott will reportedly undergo surgery in the coming days, though there’s still some stuff to be discussed with ol’ Dr. Meister. There’s also […]

Walcott has a torn UCL
Sebastian Walcott will miss most, if not all, of the 2026 season due to a torn UCL, per the beats. This sucks, to put it mildly. And puts a damper on our poll yesterday, asking when Walcott will make his major league debut. Walcott, a shortstop who doesn’t turn 20 until next month, is the […]
Thursday Morning Links
Morning, all! Wyatt Langford is being considered as an injury replacement for outfielder Corbin Carroll for Team USA, which would make him the fifth Ranger playing in the World Baseball Classic.
