One advantage of Texas Rangers spring training night games is that, while players and media aren't required to show up until after lunch, front office officials and the major-league coaching staff arrive under the cloak of morning to hammer out decisions.
The Rangers might be last in Cactus League standings, but their brass lead the league in meetings.
On Thursday, though, the coaches were allowed to get their beauty rest. No roster moves were unveiled during manager Jeff Banister's daily media briefing, where a day earlier he was like the transactions wire.
Time has essentially run out on players who are hoping to make the roster with Thursday marking one week until Opening Day.
