Thoughts on a 4-3 Rangers win

Thoughts on a 4-3 Rangers win

Photo by Stacy Revere/ Rangers 4, Cubs 3 Rangers 4, Cubs 3 Ah, man, what a way to start the season. Close game, exciting, a sucky couple of clearly blown calls that seemed like they would cost the Rangers the game, followed by the most unexpected home run ever and redemption for the would-be goat. Nathan Eovaldi got a Quality Start, despite not seeming to have his A game. There was a lot of loud contact early on, and Eovaldi only got six swings and misses all game. Nonetheless, he went six innings, limiting the Cubs to just two runs. Bruce Bochy went Josh...

Rangers trade Kent to Guardians

Photo by David Durochik/Diamond Images via Zak Kent has been traded to Cleveland The Texas Rangers have traded pitcher Zak Kent to the Cleveland Guardians for international bonus pool money, the team announced today. Kent was on the 40 man roster, and his departure means there are now 38 players on the 40 man roster. (Well, the Texas Rangers’ PR account says there are 39 players on the 40 man roster, but Chris Young said yesterday Jose Barrero had cleared waivers and been outrighted, so him and Kent being off leaves us at 38.) The expectation had been that Max...

Montgomery to D-Backs, per reports

Photo by Harry How/ Jordan Montgomery is reported heading to Arizona Jordan Montgomery, a hero of the Texas Rangers playoff run and key part of the Rangers winning their first title, is joining the team Texas vanquished, the Arizona Diamondbacks, per reports. The 31 year old Montgomery was acquired by the Rangers from the St. Louis Cardinals at the trade deadline in 2023 in a deal that saw Thomas Saggese and TK Roby go to St. Louis. He was terrific down the stretch and in the playoffs, and there appeared to be mutual interest in Montgomery returning to Texas for 2024...

We have the final exhibition game. It is an afternoon game. After a day off tomorrow, we then have Opening Day on Thursday. Huzzah. Dane Dunning and Jon Gray are apparently going to both pitch today, and Andrew Knizner is behind the plate, after Jonah Heim started yesterday. The lineup: Semin — 2B Seager —...

The Rangers have not made an official announcement as of yet, though I expect that will come after tonight’s game, along with a number of players on minor league deals being reassigned to the minor league camp. Foscue seemed to have a shot at breaking camp with the team, particularly with Josh Jung and Corey Seager being slowed with...

Joe Camporeale-USA TODAY Sports The Rangers and the Red Sox in an exhibition game in Arlington Texas Rangers lineup for March 25, 2024, against the Boston Red Sox: starting pitchers are Jake Latz for the Rangers and Garrett Whitlock for Boston. The season hasn’t officially started yet, but the Rangers are facing off against Boston at the Shed this evening, so hey, why not a lineup thread, right? In particular, I think this is noteworthy because I suspect this is what the everyday lineup is going to look like for the time being, with the caveat that Jared Walsh and...

Matt Duffy opts out, per report

Photo by John E. Moore III/ Matt Duffy has reportedly opted out of his minor league deal with the Rangers Infielder Matt Duffy has opted out of his minor league deal with the Texas Rangers, per Jon Heyman on Twitter. Duffy is a 33 year old infielder who I had previously speculated might end up with the Brad Miller “veteran guy on the bench who never plays” role for the Rangers this year, particularly given he played for Bruce Bochy earlier in his career. In my Opening Day roster prediction a few days ago I had Duffy making the team. With Travis Jankowski and a...

I don’t think this comes as a surprise to anyone at this point. Langford, selected fourth overall by the Texas Rangers in the 2023 MLB Draft, tore up each level he played at after joining the Rangers organization, finishing the year at AAA Round Rock and being discussed as a possible option for the team’s playoff roster.

To make room for Lorenzen on the 40 man roster, the Rangers have placed pitcher Jacob deGrom on the 60 day injured list. This makes official the move, news of which first broke late Wednesday night. As we discussed, this is a low-cost move that gives the Rangers a functional arm for the rotation, which allows Cody Bradford to go to the bullpen in a multi-inning role. This also gives the Rangers...

Photo by Norm Hall/ The Mets and J.D. Martinez have reportedly agreed on a one year, $12 million deal The New York Mets and free agent DH J.D. Martinez have agreed to terms on a one year, $12 million deal, per Jon Heyman on Twitter. Martinez is signing very late in the process, but he was always going to get a one year deal and it was expected to be for around this amount, so I don’t know if this is a win for the “The Bad Agent is screwing over his clients with bad advice” people. Martinez will be the DH for a Mets team that projects to be around .500, and who...
