If you recall, when the Texas Rangers rebuild started in earnest, 2023 was the season that that guy who used to run the team pointed to as the season to watch. Improvement was expected in 2022, but it wasn’t seen as a likely playoff year. 2023, though…noise should be made, we were told.
Well, the Rangers are one-ninth of the way through the 2023 season, and they are looking pretty good right now. Texas has the fourth best record in baseball, at 12-6. They have the second best run differential in MLB. They are in first place in the A.
