SURPRISE, Ariz. -- We take you now to a moist, crisp spot at the very front of the Rangers battle to create a competitive edge on the field.
It is called: "The produce aisle."
That is not a euphemism. It is an actual produce aisle of a local grocery store, piled high with heads of cauliflower, bunches of broccoli and spears of asparagus. In the midst of this vegetable cornucopia Stephanie Fernandes, wearing a Rangers' "Train to Reign" hoodie, is discussing with a handful of players, mostly from the minor leagues, optimal leafy-green intake to boost workout recovery.
