Declan Cronin inks a 2-Year deal with the Rangers
At approximately 7p.m. last night right before the Yankees and Blue Jays squared off in game 3 of the ALDS, Bob Nightengale reported that the Rangers signed right-handed reliever Declan Cronin to a 2-year minor league deal. Cronin has long dreamed of playing professional baseball. In an interview, he said he knew from a young age that this was his goal. That dream began to take shape, in his senior year at Holy Cross, he took his training seriously and dedicated himself fully to improving. He t
The Rangers Hire a New Skip
Friday afternoon Chris Young and Ross Fenstermaker had their end-of-year press conference and spoke to the writers. CY mentioned that they had only one candidate in their managerial search who was already in the organization. I think everyone knew who that internal candidate was (It was Skip Schumaker). I expected the Rangers to officially announce Schumaker's hiring within the next few days, but at 7:45 p.m., reports emerged that the Rangers and Schumaker had agreed to a four-year deal. I rea
Players That The Rangers Could Target This Winter
Chris Young and company will have work to do this offseason to improve the roster and raise its floor. It could be a busy offseason for the Rangers. Adolis Garcia and Jonah Heim are likely not going to be on the roster next year, and a number of the current bullpen arms are set to become free agents this winter. Tyler Mahle and Jon Gray will also be free agents this winter, so it looks like the Rangers will need to be active this winter. I feel like the Rangers priorities this winter will be get
Rangers Tied to 7 Top Free Agents in Jon Heyman’s Offseason Landing spot Predictions
On September 4th Jon Heyman posted an article on the New York Post about predicting landing spots for the top 25 free agents this winter. The Rangers came up seven times throughout the article. I'm going to name all of the free agents he mentions as fit for the Rangers and give my opinion on them. Bo Bichette, Jays (SS)- I'm curious to why Jon Heyman thinks the Rangers could be a landing spot for Bo. I don't see the fit at all personally. He isn't playing shortstop over Corey Seager, and I don'
3 Rangers that could be Trade Candidates This Winter
The Rangers will have an active offseason this winter between signing free agents, trading 1 or 2 players, maybe non-tendering some, and possible coaching changes. Chris Young and the front office have their work cut out for them this winter that's for sure. On top of that with the lockout looming next offseason they may or may not be willing to do things they aren't normally willing to do, that could be the case for a lot of teams. I am going to go over three guys that could be on the move this
My Thoughts on the Rangers Trade Deadline Moves
Coming into the deadline the Rangers were said to be buyers, they are currently right in the middle of the Wild Card race. The Rangers did need to make moves at the deadline to improve the team. The Rangers needed a closer/high leverage bullpen arm to strengthen the bullpen and a guy that locks down the 9th inning. Also could use a right handed bat for when the Rangers face a left-handed pitcher. The first move of the deadline for the Rangers was trading for Danny Coulombe from the Twins for Ga
The Rangers acquire Phil Maton
Around 4:54 pm before the deadline closed Jeff Passan reported that the Rangers and St Louis Cardinals agreed on a deal to send Phil Maton to the Rangers. The Rangers get Maton from the Cardinals in return for #27th and #28th pitching prospects Mason Molina and Skylar Hales as well as international Bonus pool money. Mason Molina pitched pretty well for the Rangers this year. In 74 innings he struck out 92 hitters and held opponents to a .207 batting average, and he had a 3.41 ERA. Molina was a
Rangers Prospects That Have Gotten Interest From Other Teams
Evan Grant of the Dallas Morning News reported at 4:15 this evening that 5 of the Rangers prospects have gotten interest from other teams those 5 include Kohl Drake, Mitch Bratt, Caden Scarborough, Alejandro Osuna, and Yeremi Cabrera. Kohl Drake- Drake was drafted in the 11th round of the 2022 MLB draft, and he bursted onto the scene last year. He struck out 148 hitters in 106 innings and opponents only hit .196 against him, he also put up a 2.29 ERA. This year Drake started 12 games for the Ri
Rangers Connected to Multiple Relievers 48 Hours Before The Trade Deadline
The Rangers have been connected to 4 teams about relievers today. At approximately 8:30 this morning Noah Hiles of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reported that the Rangers were among the teams that have contacted the Pirates about closer David Bednar. Mark Feinsand of MLB.com also reported that the Rangers are among teams interested in Cardinals flame-throwing closer Ryan Helsley. Now Evan Grant of the Dallas Morning News has reported that the Rangers have engaged in talks with the Colorado Rockies
Some Players The Rangers Could Target at The 2025 Trade Deadline
I don't think that it is any secret that the Rangers are not in perfect shape and could definitely use some reinforcements if they want to go deep into the playoffs. What do they need to improve the team? They most definitely will need a closer and maybe another arm or 2 with Chris Martin going down for at least 4-6 weeks. They also could potentially add a bat to help out the offense. Let's start with the bullpen arms: Danny Coulombe- Unfortunately he is a rental, but probably won't be too exp
