In this episode, we dive deep into the Texas Rangers' postseason success and their persistent struggles in developing homegrown pitching talent. Since 2010, the Rangers have notched the fifth most postseason victories (33) and the sixth best playoff winning percentage (.559) in MLB. During this stretch, they've played in 59 playoff games, showcasing their dominance on the field. Yet, of these games, only eight have been started by pitchers they drafted, developed, and called up without ever touching another franchise.
But why is there still concern about their developmental struggles despite their success with veteran pitchers? We'll break down the importance of having young, controllable, and effective starting pitchers, drawing comparisons to the impacts of Paul Skenes in Pittsburgh and Clayton Kershaw in LA. Tune in as we analyze the Rangers' unique approach and the potential long-term implications for their pitching staff.

The Texas Rangers are having a rough season after their incredible World Series win last year. With a current record of 43-48, they're trailing by 5.5 games in the AL West and 7.0 in the Wild Card race. While there's still a glimmer of hope, it looks like the Rangers might shift their focus to 2025 and beyond.
Rumors are swirling about a potential fire sale at the trade deadline, with key players like Max Scherzer, David Robertson, Michael Lorenzen, and Andrew Heaney possibly on the trading block. These moves could reshape the team's future, with veterans like Nathan Eovaldi also potentially attracting interest.
Will the Rangers turn things around, or are we looking at a major re-tooling for the future? Dive into the latest updates and speculations in this episode.

In this episode, we dive deep into the Texas Rangers' recent ups and downs. After an exhilarating 11-2 victory over the Baltimore Orioles, the Rangers have snapped their six-game losing streak and gained some much-needed momentum. Despite this win, the defending champions find themselves eight games behind the Seattle Mariners for the top spot in the AL West and equally distanced from a Wild Card position.
We explore the trade rumors swirling around the team as the July deadline approaches. Will the Rangers be sellers, with key players like Andrew Heaney and Nathan Eovaldi potentially on the move? Eovaldi, in particular, has been a standout since signing a two-year deal after the 2022 season. With his consistent performance and playoff prowess, he could be a hot commodity if made available.
Join us as we discuss Eovaldi's future with the Rangers, including the possibility of an extension, and what it means for the team's plans moving forward. Could the Rangers be looking at another rebuild, or will they push through with their current roster in hopes of a late-season comeback? Tune in to get all the insights and stay updated on the latest Texas Rangers' developments.

In this episode, we examine the Texas Rangers' tumultuous 2024 season. After entering the weekend trailing the Seattle Mariners by 5.5 games, the Rangers left Seattle trailing by 8.5 games, maintaining their deficit in the division. This is a stark contrast to their high expectations following an incredible World Series championship run last year.
Currently sitting at 34-40 and out of a playoff spot, the Rangers are running out of time to turn things around. The upcoming trade deadline may offer some hope, but the core issues within the roster need immediate attention. We’ll delve into the key factors behind the Rangers' struggles:
Tune in for an in-depth analysis of the Rangers' season so far and what lies ahead for the team. Whether you're a die-hard Rangers fan or just love baseball, this episode is a must-listen!

In this episode, we break down the Texas Rangers' missed opportunity to close the gap in the AL West against the division-leading Seattle Mariners. Entering the weekend series, the Rangers were just a few games below .500 and had a real chance to make a statement. Instead, they were swept by the Mariners, extending Seattle's lead in the division to 9.0 games. To make matters worse, the Rangers followed this disappointing performance with a crushing 14-2 loss to the New York Mets on Monday night.
We discuss the implications of this series and what it means for the Rangers' playoff hopes. While it's true that baseball is a long season and anything can happen, the road ahead looks challenging with upcoming series against tough opponents like the Mets, Royals, Brewers, and Orioles. The Rangers' health issues and their poor start against Seattle this season compound the difficulty of their situation.
Tune in as we analyze what the Rangers need to do to turn things around and how the seven crucial games against the Mariners in September could determine their fate. Despite the current setbacks, we explore the glimmers of hope and potential strategies for the Rangers to get back in the race.

This week, we dive into the details of Seager's injury scare and what it means for the Rangers moving forward. Both Seager and manager Bruce Bochy downplayed the severity, with Seager feeling "a little twinge" and Bochy stating the move was precautionary. However, given Seager's injury history and the Rangers' bad luck in 2024, fans should keep a close eye on this situation.

This week we dive deep into the struggles of Jack Leiter, the highly-touted pitching prospect for the Texas Rangers. After a disappointing home debut with a horrendous 16.39 ERA in just 9.1 innings, Leiter's future in the major leagues looks uncertain. Despite his dominance in the minors, Leiter has yet to replicate that success at the big league level. With the Rangers sending him back to the minors, fans are left wondering if he will ever fulfill his potential.
Join us as we compare Leiter's current trajectory with past Rangers' draft busts, such as Dillon Tate, Casey Kiker, and the infamous 2010 draft picks Jake Skole and Kellin Deglan. We also explore what could have been with potential All-Stars like Christian Yelich, Aaron Sanchez, and Nick Castellanos. Can Leiter turn things around and avoid joining this list of draft failures? Watch to find out!

In this insightful episode, we delve into the Texas Rangers' offseason strategy amidst financial uncertainties. Fresh off their euphoric first World Series win, a significant achievement capping 52 years of effort, the Rangers are now facing a challenging offseason ahead of the 2024 season. The episode explores the Rangers' cautious approach in building their roster, contrasting it with the aggressive moves of teams like the New York Yankees and the Toronto Blue Jays.
We discuss the Rangers' sole major signing so far - reliever Kirby Yates for one year at $4.5 million - and their hesitancy to make further big moves. Ken Rosenthal's insights on the Athletic suggest the Rangers are considering two paths: possibly retaining Clayton Kershaw or exploring second-tier free-agent starters like Sean Manaea, Frankie Montas, or Michael Wacha. A key factor in their restrained approach is the looming "financial uncertainty," mainly due to the potential loss of the media rights deal with Bally Sports. This episode examines the implications of these financial challenges and how they're shaping the Rangers' strategy for constructing their 2024 roster

We'll analyze potential targets, including Jordan Montgomery and NL CY Young award-winner Blake Snell, weighing the pros and cons of each and discussing the likely financial implications. The episode will also cover the strategic considerations behind these potential signings, including how they align with the Rangers' overall team strategy and the expectations of their fanbase.

The news came out on Sunday morning just before the NFL games that Aaron Nola will be returning to Philadelphia for the long term. The 30-year-old right-hander agreed to seven-year contract worth $172 million. According to Jon Heyman of the New York Post, Nola met with other teams and turned down more money to stay in Philadelphia. He chose to stay with a team that was in the World Series in 2022 and a win away from making it back to the World Series in 2023.
This choice by Nola could lead to a certain free-agent left-hander also choosing to stay with the team that he finished the season with. Now that Texas has an idea of what Montgomery is worth on the free agent market would it be smart to bring him back for those years and at that cost?
