The Texas Rangers have five home games left this season and 12 total. Not that anyone is counting.
Their Triple A affiliate has zero games remaining in Round Rock.
The long-awaited announcement that Nolan Ryan-owned franchise would not sign another player development agreement was delivered Monday, and precisely zero people with the Rangers were caught off guard.
The Ryans have a history of keeping things in the family, and with Ryan and son Reid drawing Houston Astros paychecks, this was inevitable.
Next up for the Rangers is trying to find a new home for their Triple A team, and Nashville appears to be the preferred landing spot ahead of San Antonio and Fresno, where the Astros’ Triple A team has been.
