Evan Grant, Rangers beat writer for SportsDayDFW.com and The Dallas Morning News, answered questions about the team in a live chat recently. Here are some highlights:
Question: Why would Ohtani want to sign with the Rangers? The only thing they have is a little more money to offer than the competition to a guy who doesn't need or spend it. Yes, they had Darvish, but they jettisoned him, which is a huge no-no in the Japanese baseball culture. Why would he want to pitch behind a below average infield and a way below average outfield defense?
