Rangers insider Evan Grant offers up a few reasons to still be excited about the remainder of the Rangers’ 2024 season.The Texas Rangers celebrate at home plate after Josh Smith hit a two-run walkoff home run during the 10th inning of a baseball game against the Houston Astros, Monday, Aug. 5, 2024, in Arlington, Texas. It’s been a month since we’ve chatted. Sorry. A lot was going on.
Does trying to get to a winning record matter? Is there any value in that? A) Probably not. B) Even that would take a huge lift. They’d essentially have to play .667 baseball over the last quarter of the season just to get to 82 wins. They haven’t played better than .550 baseball for any stretch of 40 games this season. So, make of that what you wish.
In addition, Rocker, coming back from elbow surgery, is on a pretty restrictive innings list. The Rangers probably want him to work less than 50 innings this year. He was at 28 going into Wednesday’s start for Frisco. I think he will work regular starts until he gets to whatever the innings limit is, shut it down and go into the offseason with a lot of positive energy. All that said, I also don’t expect Rocker to open the 2025 season on the opening day roster.
If the Rangers had wanted to get the most value for him, they should have explored trading him last winter. That would have brought real value. But it also would have meant trading: Your questions are so good, let’s answer two. I don’t know if “on the verge” is the best terminology here. They are still shopping for the best possible TV situation. There is still uncertainty if Bally Sports, or however Diamond Sports would try to brand it, would even exist.
