The Sunday Read: These are the prospects the Newsletter wants to see while at Texas Rangers minor-league camp
There are more than listed here, but this is a good starting point for this trip to Arizona.
Spring training, the Texas Rangers Newsletter is coming.
The MLB labor impasse Tuesday must have visibly broken me, as for the first time since I’ve been covering the Rangers, Mrs. Wilson told me to go hop on a plane.
Granted, it’s minor-league spring training and it’s March 6 instead mid-February, but Arizona has been yanking at me for about a month now.
Truth be told, the Rangers’ farm system has more stories to tell than the big-league team does. Yes, Corey Seager and Marcus Semien stories haven’t been told in full, and they will in time.
