MLB.com predicted the best Texas player in 2023 and he wasn't on the club in 2022. The Texas Rangers have made plenty of noise this offseason when it comes to starting pitching.

Business remains brisk in the starting pitching marketplace. While the Cardinals have yet to make a move to improve their rotation quality or depth, other franchises have been busy.

The Texas Rangers have come out swinging these past two off-seasons. Last year, they added infielders Corey Seager and Marcus Semien, as well as Jon Gray, a decent pitcher that had been stuck in Coors. In the last few months, Texas added Jake Odorizzi via trade, brought back Martín Pérez Andrew Heaney, and made a huge splash by signing Jacob…

The Texas Rangers have done a fair amount of work to their rotation this off-season. Adding Jacob Degrom, Andrew Heaney, Jake Odorizzi, and Martin Perez so far. Pitching was a problem in 2022, even with the All-Star season by Perez. Gray was good, but health was an issue. With the ban of the shift, the offense should be more productive, and they…

It ended with Yankee-fueled heartbreak, but the Twins' 2019 season was a thrilling and unexpected triumph. They won 101 games, took home their first division title since 2010 and turned the bleachers and shrubbery beyond the walls of Target Field into their own personal target practice, launching a historic number of home runs and earning the…

The 2022 MLB Winter Meetings officially got underway on Sunday night.

The magic number still sits at one game for the Atlanta Braves who failed to officially clinch the NL East last night with a 4-0 loss to the Miami Marlins.

LAS VEGAS - It's easy to fall for deals that seem too good to be true in Vegas. Free drinks are hardly ever free. Odds at the craps table never actually favor the bettor.
