Morning, all!
The Rangers have signed another potential bullpen piece to a minor league deal in JT Chargois. Chargois is a 34 year old sinker/slider guy who has a sub 3.00 ERA over the last 3 years but has been limited by injuries.
Evan Grant says Kumar Rocker seems to have pretty good chances to make the rotation while Dane Dunning apparently is going to have to earn a spot in the bullpen.
The 2025 Ranger bullpen may not have defined roles, with Bruce Bochy saying the team may utilize pitcher based on matchups and repertoire rather than inning.
D Magazine looks at how the projection systems are scoring the Rangers and notes that there are reasons to be optimistic, with Fangraphs and PECOTA forecasting between 85 and 90 wins.
Kennedi Landry says the team is reporting to Arizona much healthier than it was in 2024.
Landry identifies the three biggest stories to follow this spring as Jacob deGrom and whether we will get more than 6 starts from him in 2025, the bullpen, and Evan Carter fighting Leody Taveras over the center field job.
