It’s been an unfortunate week for the Texas Rangers. Following the All Star break, the Rangers were hitting a crucial part of their season as they looked to climb their way back into the AL Wild Card race. A successful run could prompt the front office into buying possibly, but at the minimum, holding onto their assets to gear up for the 2020 season and the opening of Globe Life Field. A poor run, could force the club’s hand, leading to a sell off of some of the team’s more desirable pieces, mainly, Mike Minor.
Minor has had a resurgence of epic proportions this year, becoming statistically, one of the most valuable starting pitchers in baseball.
