The Angels are here for Elvis Andrus' retirement day. No coincidence it will take place with Ron Washington here. So, I went and spoke Wash about Andrus. And, as usual, it was gold. dallasnews.com/sports/rangersā€¦

Jacob deGrom pitches for Frisco on Saturday; Max Scherzer pitches for Round Rock on the same day. Minor leaguers will eat well

While the old copy desk readies my story with the stat of the year on Cody Bradford, take a minute to read about a development with Leody Taveras that has gone a bit overlooked. dallasnews.com/sports/rangersā€¦

My proudest stat discovery of the year: Cody Bradford won while relying on the slowest fastball of the MLB season last night. dallasnews.com/sports/rangersā€¦

Today, being Elvis Andrus retirement day, we gotta couple of things. Let's bring back an oldie, but a goody: Meat With the Press. This idea became a COVID victim. Man, I'd love to do this again. dallasnews.com/sports/rangersā€¦

Couldn't imagine Elvis Andrus retiring without Ron Washington on hand. And couldn't imagine talking to Wash without getting some gold on Elvis. It wasn't my imagination: dallasnews.com/sports/rangersā€¦

Last thing from last night: One thing that's gone somewhat overlooked this year is that for all the offensive issues Leody Taveras has had, he's become a more effective base-running threat dallasnews.com/sports/rangersā€¦

This is not true. Heā€™s had 9 OF assists this year and has very good range. Yes, he makes some mistakes, heā€™s not a perfect defender. Heā€™s not awful either.

The greatest mystery of this team, for me, is what has happened to Jonah Heim. A GG/All-Star in 2023, he's slashing .164/.207/.291/.498 since the All-Star break. I just don't get it.
