The latest on the once and future World Series champion Texas Rangers
Good morning.
Shawn McFarland writes that the Texas Rangers won on Sunday to put themselves in a better mindset as they travel east following a difficult homestand.
Kennedi Landry writes that a win yesterday gave Jacob deGrom victories in consecutive starts for the first time with Texas.
McFarland writes that deGrom lowered his ERA to reach the top 15 in the league, which is good for third best among his rotation mates.
With the pitching doing their job, Landry notes that the team axed offensive coordinator Donnie Ecker in an effort to jump-start the bats.
Evan Grant writes about the Ecker dismissal which comes after a well-documented stretch of ineptitude at the plate for Texas.
Jeff Wilson writes that in addition to the Ecker decision, Leody Taveras was placed on waivers, potentially ending the time in Texas for one of the longest tenured Rangers.
Grant has more on the Taveras move with the center fielder of the World Series winners from 2023 now in roster limbo.
Wilson writes that the Rangers are trying everything they can to figure out how to get the offense going.
And, Landry writes about Blaine Crim’s promotion to the big leagues, which came as a surprise even to Blaine Crim.
Have a nice day!
