Elvis Andrus said again Sunday that he is leaning toward not opting out of his eight-year contract, but that isn’t all the Texas Rangers shortstop had to say on the final day of the season.
Andrus said that the Rangers need to improve their mind-set next season, that the players who have two or three seasons under the belt need to stop worrying about surviving in the major leagues and start doing the things that help teams win more games.
Andrus didn’t name names, nor was his final media session of the season a fiery soap-box moment, but it was veteran insight into some of what went wrong this season and what can’t go wrong going forward.
