Let the Nolan Ryan rumors begin. The Houston Astros announced Monday morning that team president and CEO George Postolos has resigned. If Ryan wants the job, he can probably have it because he’s an even bigger legend in Houston than he is in Arlington.
MILWAUKEE -- Kyle Lohse didn’t sign with the Milwaukee Brewers until March 25 -- at the very back end of spring training -- in part because many teams were weary of losing a first-round draft pick that would come with signing the right-hander.
Martin Perez made his first rehab start Monday night for Double-A Frisco, tossing four innings of one-run, five-hit ball. He’s expected to throw another five innings for Frisco on Saturday. “We have 30 days to do something,” Daniels said of deciding the next step once Perez is ready to be activated.
MILWAUKEE – Rangers GM Jon Daniels addressed the media prior to Tuesday’s game and broached a number of topics, including Mike Olt, who is sidelined at Triple-A Round Rock because of vision troubles.
ARLINGTON, Texas -- Struggling prospects Mike Olt and Cody Buckel began their search Tuesday for what's behind their shockingly poor starts to the season. Olt, the Rangers' second-highest ranked prospect behind shortstop Jurickson Profar, saw team doctors Tuesday after informing club officials he was having issues with his vision.
ANAHEIM, Calif. -- Texas Rangers general manager Jon Daniels received two bits of good news, and another not so good, before the series opener Monday against the Los Angeles Angels. Daniels had positive updates on pitchers Colby Lewis (forearm) and Martin Perez (wrist) –- who are expected to throw live batting practice this week -- but also found out the extent of Joakim Soria's latest setback.
Rangers general manager Jon Daniels and manager Ron Washington were reminded once again Friday that what happened with their starting rotation in 2011 may never happen again. Five pitchers, 155 starts out of 162 games.
ESPN.com contributor and former GM Jim Bowden has an interesting post up (Insider) on why the Texas Rangers should trade top prospects with the St. Louis Cardinals. Bowden believes that because the Cardinals need a middle infielder and the Rangers could use an outfield bat, especially with Nelson Cruz and David Murphy in their final years before hitting free agency, that it makes sense.
Nolan Ryan, bundled up in very chilly conditions, watched his Texas Rangers team fall 2-0 to the Tampa Bay Rays on Wednesday afternoon. The good news: Ryan will be sitting in his customary aisle seat closest to the Rangers dugout entrance for the rest of the season and, hopefully, beyond.
ARLINGTON, Texas -- Matt Harrison said Tuesday that he felt some improvement in his sore lower back, but he didn't throw his usual bullpen session, leaving Thursday's scheduled start in Seattle in doubt.
