Opening Day is tomorrow for the majority of MLB teams. That means we’re getting close to minor league baseball starting, and I couldn’t be more excited. I know you are as well.
You have probably seen the break camp rosters by now. We all have day jobs here, so it’s hard for us to put out content as soon as I’d like, but the wait is over. We now know who is going to start the season at each Texas Rangers affiliate.
