As we wrap up report card season, we conquer the last one in Jeff Gorton. Gorton and the Rangers announced the rebuild before the 2018 trade deadline and then promptly sold off a ton of expiring assets. With the rebuild in full swing, Gorton entered his first offseason with the sole purpose of restocking the cupboard with youth and picks.
I was struggling with where to begin Gorton’s grading scope. In the end, I decided that the full scope of Gorton’s report card will begin as soon as last year’s season ended, and will go through the writing of this post.
