Rangers lost Scherzer for rest of reg season and likely playoffs.

They aren't the smartest FO in the league, but they try to win. It seems like they get snake bit on every major acquisition they make.

Rangers are killing me. Win 6 in a row including sweeping the Jays in Toronto. Then lose 4 in a row including being swept by Cleveland.

Signed Michael Lorenzen.  $4.5M that can reach $7M in incentives.  Incredibly bad job by Lorenzen and his people this offseason.  He got $8.5M last offseason, went out and had the best year of his career, and overplays his hand into a contract for half as much.  He did stink in Philly after the trade, so maybe that's fresh in people's minds, but I gotta think he turned down offers early in the offseason for a lot more than he eventually signed for.

Small sample size alert, but “3-2” Evan Carter is 0-11 to begin the season for the Rangers… with a .409 OBP and leads the team with 5 runs scored.

*I met a Rangers fan at the bar over the weekend who informed me that his nickname is 3 and 2 due to his ability to work counts. I love that.

Josh Jung fractured his wrist on a HBP last night, Justin Foscue called up.

Texas has won 5 in a row. 5.5 out of division lead. If they have a hot July I doubt they sell and it would dry up a number of players who would be available. Hoping they tread water or lose ground the next few weeks.
