John Mozeliak said the primary reason to make the changes was because the pitching coaches weren’t sufficiently using the technology available.
He said the hitting coaches are.
Also said no more firings during the season.
Chris Young on the trade deadline, per Abby Jones:
“Sometimes the best deals are the deals you say ‘no’ to and I think we did a good job of that and staying disciplined as well.”
The #RedSox acquired C Adley Rutschman ($22.1M surplus trade value) from the #Orioles in exchange for RHPs Anthony Eyanson ($31.4M) and Kyson Witherspoon ($11.8M), OFs Enddy Azocar ($24.2M) and Harold Rivas ($5.9M) and C Carlos Narvaez ($12.4M) ($85.7M ttl)

The bet will be that this team will get healthy, has a favorably schedule and with some minor adds (maybe still a RH hitting outfielder & another RH bullpen arm), they will play their best baseball.
Hearing that Rangers are not motivated sellers. Again, it's deadline day. Take it all with a grain of salt. But as of this moment, I think any deals they make would be very minor. Here is our live blog:

Hearing the buzz doesn't quite match up with #Rangers, at least not yet. Open-minded but not committed to a full-on sale. Still open to making a smaller addition for the final two months if player comes with control. Jacob Latz trade not likely with five hours to go.
Honestly, this is PROBABLY the Rangers last chance to trade Corey Seager and Jacob deGrom for anything big, so I wouldn't mind the decision to pull the trigger on selling
Bryan Abreu has a 4.74 ERA / 5.41 FIP this season and is a free agent after 2026.
Trevor Larnach has a .371 OBP / .812 OPS this season, Houston desperately needs OF help, and is a free agent after 2027.
WHY WOULD HE NIX THIS???
Rafe Perich (TEX) is on fire this season!
The switching-hitting 3B has a 1.026 OPS between Hi-A and AA with above average contact rates and outstanding batted ball metrics, including a 107.1 mph EV90. He is flirting with Top 100 prospect status for me!
