A World Series appearance may not be on the Texas Rangers’ 2019 radar, but a less mediocre season than this past one better be. It will all depend on starting pitching. Texas did not prepare a successful rotation for 2018 and we saw first hand where that got them. Hopefully a lesson has been learned and hopefully the team can enter the upcoming season with a much more reliable rotation.
I’ll be honest, I was on board with the optics of GM Jon Daniels’ offseason strategy following the 2017 season. He signed a few reclamation projects for cheap and kept his fingers crossed that one or two of them would outplay their price.
