Tue Feb 7 202300:24Ian Kinsler To Rejoin Rangers As Special Assistant To GM
The Texas Rangers announced Monday that former second baseman Ian Kinsler will rejoin the organization as a special assistant to general manager Chris Young. As part of his new role with the Rangers, Kinsler will be involved in player development at the Minor League level. He will first serve his duties as manager of Team Israel in the 2023 World Baseball Classic. Kinsler spent the first eight seasons of his 14-season career with the Rangers and was inducted into the Texas Rangers Baseball Hall of Fame in August 2022. The Rangers made a bunch of additions this offseason, so Kinsler will be returning to a team that should have a number of fantasy-relevant players.

Mon Apr 19 202114:39Gallo getting on base for Rangers without all of the extras
ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Joey Gallo is getting on base a lot for the Texas Rangers without going out of the park. That is quite a shift for the 6-foot-5 slugger who homered in the only pitch he's faced in an MLB All-Star Game and got to 100 career homers quicker than any player in American League history, at a time when he had only 93 singles. Gallo reached base in each of his first 15 games this season, his only homer being an impressive 450-foot drive to center in the opening series at Kansas City. His other 10 hits were all singles and he had an MLB-high 15 walks. He got on three other times when hit by a pitch and was the only Texas base runner in the game where Joe Musgrove plunked him while throwing the first no-hitter in San Diego Padres history. “When I was younger, I thought it was really cool to hit 40 home runs. And then I remember everyone’s just kind of like bashing me, saying I’m the worst 40 home run hitter,” said Gallo, 27. “And I was like, all right, I guess it’s not that... [More]
