Abi Ortiz is on a world-class heater at Triple-A. Acquired in the Gore deal. Should be in MLB helping at 1B very soon.
⚾️ 2 HR today
⚾️ 6 HR in last 4 games
⚾️ 9 HR in 14 games in May
He's got huge power. Has 25 and 33 HR seasons under his belt in minors.
We do not have time to wait on two guys to get back who both have a sub .640 OPS.
Also no sense in building around them in ‘27 when they’re always hurt to begin with.
Doesn’t matter how good the staff is when we can’t score to begin with.
Texas Rangers update
The offense is currently….horrible
Yet @fangraphs has them at 36% chance to make the playoffs
deGrom Eovaldi Gore Leiter Rocker are the staff
That’s pretty freaking good!
Rangers Twitter is screaming for firings and fire sales
Go take your medication
Seager is hurt
Langford is hurt
deGrom Eovaldi Pederson Nimmo all have no-trade clauses of some kind-not to say they can’t be dealt, but it’s unlikely
Players currently in the bigs they could move if they sell seem to me to be
Burger
Smith
Duran
Jung
Carter
Higashioka
No one is breaking down any doors to add these guys.
No top 100 prospects coming back for anyone on that list
Mavs fans Cowboys fans Sports Talk radio parrots and most of Rangers Twitter are having emotional breakdowns like the ladies of the view after another orange haired guy won an election
My take….
Wait on Seager and Langford and see what they have this summer
The 2026 Rangers….
And for that matter the 2027 Rangers will be built around Seager & Langford & DeGrom & Eovaldi
In baseball we play 162 games…
Not 17
It’s Memorial Day
Relax
"The first person you've got to look at is me. I've got to figure out a different way to message on the offensive side. That's how you move on — to look at yourself in the mirror first."

Sell at the deadline. I don’t care how close the division is and it’s taken a lot for me to get to this point but there is no October in this lineup.
Rebuild the farm.
The OPS of Rangers qualified hitters
Josh Jung .822
Brandon Nimmo .752
Jake Burger .685
Corey Seager .639
Evan Carter .605
If the MLB Average is usually around .725 mark, we have two above average hitters, and seven others below average. Duran is unqualified but above .725.
