Anthony Gose Placed on Outright Waivers

Houston Astros Rule 5 pick Anthony Gose has been placed on outright waivers, per Jake Kaplan of The Athletic. If Gose clears waivers, the Astros would have to offer him back to the Texas Rangers. A converted outfielder, Gose only made one appearance in the Grapefruit League, walking all three of the hitters he faced. Despite […]


Rangers Unlikely to Use Six-Man Rotation in 2018

It appears that Texas Rangers starting pitcher Cole Hamels got his wish, as the Star-Telegram's Jeff Wilson reports that the Rangers are unlikely to use a six-man rotation in the upcoming season. There had been chatter that the Rangers were considering the strategy in recent weeks, leading to Hamels' negative comments. It was unlikely that […]


Julio Pablo Martinez Could Sign With Rangers Tuesday

Cuban prospect Julio Pablo Martinez has been making the rounds since defecting to the U.S., and the Texas Rangers hope to sign him quickly. Tuesday is the first day that the 21-year-old outfielder is eligible to sign, and the Rangers have emerged as the front-runners within the last two weeks. They can offer him nearly […]


Cole Hamels Not a Fan of Proposed Six-Man Rotation

Texas Rangers starting pitcher Cole Hamels had a "back in my day" moment when discussing the idea of deploying a six-man rotation. "That's just not what MLB is to me," Hamels told Gerry Fraley on Saturday. The Rangers have openly considered the six-man rotation an option that interests some of the more analytically-minded front offices. […]


Elvis Andrus in the Lineup Friday

Texas Rangers shortstop Elvis Andrus (back) is taking the field in a live game for the first time in 2018. After sitting with back issues up until now, the steady performer is ready for action. Hitting in the two hole and taking the field at his usual shortstop position, it looks like Andrus is all good. […]


Tim Lincecum a Lottery Ticket for Texas

Pending a physical, pitcher Tim Lincecum will join the Texas Rangers on an incentive-laden one-year contract. Evan P. Grant reports that the deal is for just $1 million for the season. The former two-time Cy Young winner is trying to resurrect his career one more time after showing little life in a 2016 Angels campaign […]


Martin Perez Close to Returning

TR Sullivan of MLB.com reports that Texas Rangers starting pitcher Martin Perez (elbow) is close to returning to action and is scheduled to pitch in a simulated game Tuesday. He'll work on fielding drills as the week goes on, and Perez reportedly said "I am ready" when asked about a potential return. This supports a previous […]


Matt Bush Adding a Third Pitch in Transition to Starter

The Texas Rangers are pushing pitcher Matt Bush to add a changeup into his repertoire as he continues to stretch out into a starter. Bush had previously relied on a blazing 95-100 mph fastball with an 80 mph curve mixed in to keep hitters honest. Successful two pitch starters are rare, and the push to […]


Rangers Place Joe Palumbo on 60-Day DL

Texas Rangers left-handed pitcher Joe Palumbo (elbow) was placed on the 60-day disabled list as he continues his recovery from Tommy John surgery. The move clears space on the 40-man roster for recent signee Jesse Chavez, as Palumbo is expected to miss at least the first two months of the season. Palumbo does not figure to […]


Rangers in the Lead to Land Julio Pablo Martinez

The Texas Rangers have emerged as the favorites over the Marlins and Yankees to sign 21-year-old Cuban outfielder Julio Pablo Martinez. The recent defector will be free to sign with a team on March 6, and his bonus is expected to be in the neighborhood of $2.7 million. The Rangers traded pitcher Miguel Medrano for […]


Nomar Mazara Not Far From Competing for an MVP

SportsDay's Evan P. Grant believes if Texas Rangers outfielder Nomar Mazara makes a small adjustment, he will be in the conversation for MVP in 2018. Grant is encouraged by Mazara's 100-RBI campaign from a season ago and believes if he can clean up his approach against lefties, then there is more success to come. The […]


Elvis Andrus Sits Again Due to Back Spasms

Texas Rangers shortstop Elvis Andrus (back) will take the day off again with back spasms on Wednesday. The Rangers star stated that "it's just too cold for me" and won't participate in team workouts. For fantasy owners, there does not appear to be any lingering concern or long-term issues, so consider Andrus still safe from a […]


Adrian Beltre Open-Minded to Changing Role

Texas Rangers third baseman Adrian Beltre told Jeff Wilson of the Star-Telegram that he's considering acquiescing to spending more time serving as the designated hitter. This is music to fantasy owners' ears, as this would mean less time at the physically-demanding hot corner. Beltre will play most of the upcoming season at age 39, so […]


Adrian Beltre Hopes the Rangers Add Free Agents

Jeff Wilson of the Star Telegram reports that Texas Rangers third baseman Adrian Beltre hopes the team adds some firepower before the 2018 season. Beltre, entering his 21st season, believes that the core roster is good enough to compete for a playoff spot and potentially a division championship, but thinks that general manager Jon Daniels should […]


Rangers to Give Jurickson Profar Consistent Playing Time in the Infield in 2018

While at-bats may be tough to come by, the Texas Rangers are looking to get utilityman Jurickson Profar more opportunities in the infield during the 2018 season. After not being traded last season, the Rangers are hoping that keeping the 25-year-old Profar in the infield, where he is more comfortable, will unlock the offensive potential […]


Seung-Hwan Oh Diagnosed with Ligament Inflammation

The results of the MRI for free-agent relief pitcher Seung-Hwan Oh (elbow) are in, and it appears that he is suffering from ligament damage in the elbow of his throwing arm. While the injury is considered not to be serious, apparently the ailment, along with some increasing contractual demands, were enough to submarine his deal with […]


Rangers No Longer Signing Seung-hwan Oh

MLB.com's T.R. Sullivan reports that the Texas Rangers have called off a previously reported deal with free-agent relief pitcher Seung-hwan Oh after an MRI discovered damage in his throwing arm. This will have major consequences for the Texas bullpen, as Oh was expected to serve as the either the team's closer or eighth-inning setup man. […]


Is Ronald Acuna Being Overdrafted?

With the recent glut of top prospect reports emerging from Keith Law to Baseball America, opinions on the future stars of baseball are myriad and loud. We all look longingly at the next generation and dreams of pennants dance in our heads. Of course, each pundit brings their own flavor to the conversation, and each […]


Zack Cozart (SS/3B, LAA) - 2018 Fantasy Baseball Sleepers & Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target ~135 CURRENT ADP: 188 ANALYSIS: Zack Cozart made himself a rich man thanks to a 2017 campaign in which he posted 24 HR, 80 runs, a .297 average, and .385 OBP while striking out on just 15.4% of his at-bats. After producing the 17th-best wRC+ in all of baseball, the infielder signed a three-year, $38 […]


Nomar Mazara (OF, TEX) - 2018 Fantasy Baseball Sleepers & Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target ~136 CURRENT ADP: 159 ANALYSIS: Nomar Mazara was drafted in 2017 with sky-high expectations after a surprisingly effective 2016 season. Unfortunately, the 22-year old largely disappointed, producing a .253/.323.422 triple slash and 20 HR with just 64 runs scored. Mazara’s sophomore season was marred by an inconsistent approach at the plate, sometimes pressing and trying […]


Justin Smoak (1B, TOR) - 2018 Fantasy Baseball Sleepers & Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target ~84 CURRENT ADP: 145 ANALYSIS: Justin Smoak broke out in a big way in 2017 with 38 HR, 90 RBI, a 20.1% K% on a triple slash of .270/.355/.529. The former top prospect made major changes to his approach, appearing more confident and comfortable. He made more overall contact than he had in years at […]


Rangers Trade Russell Wilson To The Yankees

ESPN's Jerry Crasnick reports that the Texas Rangers traded Seattle Seahawks QB Russell Wilson today to the New York Yankees in exchange for future consideration. It might surprise some that Wilson actually played nearly 100 games in the Colorado Rockies system after being drafted in the 4th round of the 2010 MLB Amateur Draft. Wilson […]


Jon Niese Signs with Rangers

The Texas Rangers signed free-agent relief pitcher Jon Niese to a minor league contract with an invitation to spring training. The former Yankee and Met will try to resurrect his career after missing all of 2017 due to complications from knee surgery. The 31-year-old Niese is now three full seasons from his last effective campaign in […]


Delino DeShields to Compete for Starting Job

Texas Rangers outfielder Delino DeShields has worked hard in the offseason to improve his defense in center field, and Jeff Wilson of the Star-Telegram believes that he is likely to win the starting job in spring training. With the Rangers missing out on outfielder Lorenzo Cain, who ultimately signed a five-year, $80 million deal with […]


Willie Calhoun is Coming...

Last season, the Rangers surprised the baseball world by trading superstar Yu Darvish to the Los Angeles Dodgers for a return that, at the time, was deemed pretty sparse. The centerpiece was a little known, and maybe lesser-appreciated infielder named Willie Calhoun. Drafted in the fourth round of the 2015 MLB draft, Calhoun started his […]
