The Dr Pepper Texas Rangers Award Dinner was held Friday night at Gilley’s Dallas, and FanFest will take place Saturday at Globe Life Park.
Each January this weekend serves to jump-start the march to spring training, and the clock is ticking. Pitchers and catchers report to Surprise, Ariz., on Feb. 14.
Opening Day on April 3 isn’t nearly as close but already the clock is ticking on the Rangers’ regular season and perhaps their 2018 season as well.
Adrian Beltre isn’t getting any younger, though he appears to be timeless. Yu Darvish can be a free agent after this season.
