Maybe but it still would require a 40-man roster move so they can add JP. Has anyone heard what they will do?

I hope he is replacing someone for a better reason than maternity leave.

Same here. If he hits anywhere near what he’s hit at AAA he will have a spot for quite a while

Sometimes you bring a player up from the minors and they fail miserably but every now and then you bring one up and he helps ignite the team. Hoping for the ignition switch to be turned on.

Langford-Carter-Garcia is going to be the best OF in baseball one day in the near future.

My guess is Wyatt Langford is the starting LF for the Rangers on opening day of 2025.

Anything is possible

What happens to Harris, Zavala, Gutierrez, Morrobel and Osuna?

Gutierrez may make Adolis expendable by 2026.

With all of these outfielders coming up over the next 2 or 3 years, watch the Rangers go out and sign a couple of free agent OF to long term deals like they did a couple of years ago with MIF.

I wonder what is going on with Leiter?

Don’t see it but who knows.

Needs to get his head straight

In discussing a possible roster nove to make way for JP Martinez, Jeff Wilson had this to say.

Something else to consider: With Jonah Heim healing quickly and possibly returning next week, the Rangers might be able to part with catcher Austin Hedges. Yes, they just got him at the trade deadline, but they didn’t give up much. Brad Miller, on the injured list, might also be expendable.

One interesting thing is that the Rangers saw that Martinez was ready to come up and yet Blaine Crim is the one who won the minor league player of the month. Martinez is certainly the right choice to bring up, but it does say a lot about the potential Crim has.

If top prospect lists were simply results driven then Blaine Crim, Abimelec Ortiz and JP Martinez would all be top 5 prospects.

I agree. I do not see Adolis as a Ranger beyond 2025.

Orioles beat Houston but Bautista tried to blow it again
