In case anyone is curious, Nicky Lopez has 1 hit in his last 35 major league at bats, which goes back to last season. The Rangers are his third MLB team (Angels, Cubs) since 2025.
He's also spent time since 2025 in the D Backs, Yankees and Cubs AAA teams. The Rangers gave this guy a MLB contract and a spot on the 40-man roster.
Fans questioned the move, rightfully so. See, the fans are more right about things in sports than the media, and pro teams would like you to believe. The signing itself made no sense. Ranger fans knew this.
You have Justin Foscue at the big-league level now, who at the plate has been decent. Defensively he needs work and playing time, and one of the reasons why Chris Young said he hired Skip in the first place was player development.
On top of Foscue, you have Cody Freeman rehabbing at AAA.
Over the last 4 days, thinking about that signing has made me realize just how bad the Rangers front office really is. I've watched this team for over 40 years. Most of those years this team has been bad to mediocre. Most of those years, I was still able to find something entertaining about the teams play.
BUT.....
This is the most soulless Rangers baseball team that I have ever seen.
There are a lot of angry Ranger fans at the moment. Some of them get called " fair weathered fans". That couldn't be more wrong. The angry Ranger fans are truly the ones that have stuck around all these years, long before 2023, most before 2010.
