The Rangers have been relatively quiet in the news for several weeks or even months, with only a few minor updates such as exercising options and signing players for spring training. However, they have yet to make a significant signing.

Fortunately, the team didn’t necessarily need any major additions. Despite Max Scherzer’s injury adding complications, they still have five starting pitchers, and they can expect Scherzer, Jacob deGrom, and Tyler Mahle to return from injuries around the trade deadline.

However, things changed on Friday and Saturday when some significant events occurred. Suddenly, reporters who previously had empty notebooks now have plenty of news and stories to cover.
