Good morning.
Evan Grant writes that the Texas Rangers continue to display the flaw of not having a rallying bone in their body.
MLB dot com’s Paige Leckie wrote about the shutout loss by the Rangers in the series opener from Baltimore.
Grant writes that the Rangers won’t have Jacob deGrom in the upcoming series against Seattle because they’re in no position to juggle the rotation.
Jeff Wilson writes that the lack of juggling is perhaps as much about not rocking the boat when it comes to deGrom as anything else.
Sean Bass writes that the Rangers have a couple of weeks to turn things around if they want to see additions made to propel them to October in a wide open American League.
From ESPN, Kiley McDaniel and Jeff Passan check out the top 50 trade deadline candidates that could shape the race.
And, former World Series hero Derek Holland is now a college pitching coach.
Have a nice day!
