PHOENIX -- Early Tuesday afternoon, Rangers owners Ray Davis and Neil Leibman, walked the length of the Chase Field outfield. Along the railing of the visitor's dugout, medical director Jamie Reed met with his Arizona counterpart. Nomar Mazara worked on fielding ground balls.
From top to bottom, the club was using its two-game trip to Arizona to soak up research and get feedback on the Arizona Diamondbacks' new artificial surface, the same one the Rangers will install at Globe Life Field for 2020.
All the feedback was good.
Unless they checked in with Adam Jones.
The Diamondbacks' veteran outfielder couldn't find anything "wrong," with the new surface, but acknowledged the same bias that many fans and players have.
