The Texas Rangers made a minor league move that could carry bigger implications than the transaction log suggests. The Rangers acquired right-hander Ben Peoples from the Chicago White Sox in exchange for minor league catcher Ben Hartl.
Neither player is on a 40-man roster, and the deal was not formally announced, which is typical for the Rangers when it comes to minor league trades unless the player ends up on the big league roster.
A Reliever Knocking on the Door

Guardians 9, Rangers 4
The Texas Rangers scored four runs but the Cleveland Guardians scored nine runs. I will simply choose to be glad that A. the Rangers enjoyed a successful road trip against all odds and B. the road trip has now concluded. Despite this one appearing to be an imminently winnable contest (after all, Texas did have […]

The Texas Rangers have placed Corey Seager on the 10 day injured list with lower back inflammation, the team announced today. To take his place on the active roster, the Rangers have recalled infielder Josh Smith.

It’s the third IL stint of the season for the 32-year-old Seager, who exited yesterday’s game […]

Morning, all! The Rangers have acquired AAA reliever Ben Peoples from the White Sox as bullpen depth for a potential playoff push.

Rangers 4, Guardians 2
July 1 is here, the rumors are flying, and someone has opinions. Four bold predictions for the day's action, including the one Rangers move that's almost certainly happening whether fans like it or not.
Our image bank doesn't even have a picture of Chris Paddack in a Rangers uniform.

The White Sox and Rangers agreed to a one-for-one trade of minor leaguers, as first reported by Brooke Fletcher of Chicago Sports Network. Chicago sends Triple-A reliever Ben Peoples to Texas in exchange for High-A catcher Ben Hartl. Neither player has appeared in MLB, nor do they occupy spots on the 40-man roster. Peoples, 25, was one […]

The Rangers announced that right-hander Gavin Collyer has been recalled from Triple-A Round Rock. In a corresponding move, fellow righty Chris Paddack has been designated for assignment. It’s a very quick turnaround for Paddack. The Rangers just signed him yesterday and it seems they effectively wanted him to make a spot start to give the […]
The Texas Rangers have recalled pitcher Gavin Collyer from AAA Round Rock, the team announced today. To make room for him on the active roster, the Rangers have designated pitcher Chris Paddack for assignment. The Rangers 40 man roster now stands at 38. So the Chris Paddack Era was a brief one. Paddack was brought […]

Why would you watch Germany face World Cup elimination in a penalty shootout when you could watch two teams slow-motion walking toward the top of their divisions in the American League? Of course, I’m talking about the Cleveland Guardians vs. Texas Rangers thumb-wrestling match. Now that's appointment television!
In Monday's marquee game, Cleveland's Parker Messick faced off against the Rangers' bullpen, with the bulk of the innings thrown by Chris Paddack, debuting with his third team this...
The Texas Rangers offense has been assessed the lion’s share of the blame for the team’s struggles last year, as well as their hovering around .500 so far this season. If the team would just hit like an average team, the argument goes, the pitching is strong enough for the Rangers to excel. I have […]
2026 MLB Draft Preview: Chris Rembert scouting report. The 2026 is less than two weeks away — the first round kicks off on July 11, 2026 — so its time to start offering capsule looks at players the Texas Rangers could select with their top picks. The Rangers’ first round pick is at #16, their […]
Rangers 6, Guardians 3
Good morning. Evan Grant writes that the Texas Rangers are taking a page from USMNT supporters and believing that they can win. MLB dot com’s Henry Palattella writes that Cam Cauley was called up yesterday and immediately contributed to Texas’ 6-3 victory over the Cleveland Guardians. Grant writes that with Wyatt Langford out, the Rangers […]
The Texas Rangers scored six runs while the Cleveland Guardians scored three runs. With a need for an opener, a lineup that would have perhaps been questionable if it had been for Round Rock, and a bulk pitcher that I suspect was on the mound for Texas tonight because he was close enough in proximity […]
