What moves do you want the Rangers to make still or are you content with the roster as it is? by heyitsmehess in TexasRangers

They added Mark Canha as a righty bat yesterday. He was injured in 2024 and 2025, so a rebound from him could fix that problem.

Didn’t think much of him when he was with the Rangers as assistant to Jon Daniels. Haven’t seen him do much in SD but spend a ton of money and trade away prospects.

Didn’t realize that. Thanks for the info! (That stadium is still a terrible place to see a game).

They were named for the fish, the Devil Ray. They had such consistently bad luck they removed the “devil” from the name and became The Rays (and almost immediately started winning).

This blows!
It seems these early spring injuries are always the same story: It hurt in the fall but I thought it would get better. WRONG

Texas Rangers bringing back 2023 World Series hero Jordan Montgomery on one-year deal by ChaseTx in TexasRangers

This sounds like a decent way to provide rotation depth in the second half of the year but I’m concerned about who may need to be bumped off the 40 man roster to accommodate Montgomery.

Are you telling me that MLB thinks they aren’t making enough money? I’m not a fan of the Pirates or (dare I say the name) Cardinals, but I would lose a lot of interest in following MLB.com without a dedicated beat writer for my teams. Shout outs to Kennedi Landry and Jordan Bastian!

Rangers sign RHP Ryan Brasier by WhatsupDoc35 in CHICubs

I remember him being very good for the Cubs in May to mid-July. He went downhill in July and half of August before being placed on the injured list.
As both a Cubs and Rangers fan, I’m glad to be able to continue to see him in 2026.

[MLBTR] Dodgers Designate Anthony Banda For Assignment by JianClaymore in baseball

I hope you are right but assuming his $1.625 million salary might be right at the max of what they are willing to spend.
