The Texas Rangers won the World Series last year. You almost wouldn’t know it. Not quite Boston Red Sox 2014. But, uh, things have been a bit of a thing down in Texas. And the Sox are looking to mess with Texas in a big way.
Boston is featuring a new face at second base: Nick Sogard. Our own Dean Roussel wrote about him this week. The tl;dr? Yes, he’s a cousin of Erik Sogard. He’s a middle infielder playing second and short. So another option for Alex Cora when Ceddanne Rafaela needs to go to center field in a game.
