Aaaand, the Rangers are having a reunion with Martin Perez....

I'll try to figure out why.

The Rangers are also having a reunion with Matt Moore. Minor league deal.

[BigTex]

And just like that IKF is a Yankee.

[BigTex]

IKF will have to shave his beard.

Rangers trade Jose Trevino to the Yankees for two pitchers.

[Mark]

The Rangers have put together a pretty good lineup in the field, but Jon Gray gets the ball opening day, and I guess Martin Perez pitches the next day. Ugh.

At least we know they're working on it.

[BigTex]

Apparently the Rangers have become a farm team for the Yankees.

[Mark]

I know it doesn't mean much, but the Rangers finished 2nd in the Cactus League this year with a 10-6 record.

[BigTex]

Could be fool's gold but maybe they've got something.

[BigTex]

Picking up where they left off . . .

[Mark]

Jon Gray to the 10 day DL with a blister.

I think we've seen this story before.

[BigTex]

Good to see Matt Bush back at it. Hope he can stay healthy.

Not really Rangers but an interesting baseball note. In Houston last night the Angels scored 6 runs in the first inning, making Ohtani the first starting pitcher to bat twice before throwing a pitch in at least 100 years.

Ohtani is going to end up with a lot of weird records in the books.

Finally, a W last night.

So last night's game broadcast was an exclusive for Apple TV subscribers? This is bullshit.

Apparently Apple TV has games every Friday night. Their broadcast team is pretty bad. I wanted to sync up the TV with Eric Nadel's radio call but I couldn't pause the Apple TV. Good game, but I had to bail in the fifth inning.

I guess those of us that refuse to purchase any Apple products are just out of luck.

Three in a row!
