Latest news and updates about the Rangers
2025, as a season, was a season that can be qualified as a mixed bag for Luisangel Acuña, in the most generous of terms. Acuña, who was acquired from the Texas Rangers for Max Scherzer during the Great Sell-off of 2023, was a divisive prospect at the time, despite his clear Top 100 stature by […]

Tom Henke turns 68 today. Seeing the age of some of these guys makes me feel older than when I think of my age. The Blue Jays got Henke as compensation for the Rangers’ signing of Jays’ free-agent Cliff Johnson. Back then, teams that signed another free agent gave up a player to the original […]
