Texas Rangers

The Texas Rangers made a splash in the pool of foreign players today, inking 16-year-old shortstop Yeyson Yrizarri to a $1.375 million deal.  At 16-years old, Yrizarri will have plenty of time to develop in the minors before getting sent to the majors.  So what exactly did Texas get in signing Yrizarri?

No, it's not quite the second half of the baseball season just yet, but it's safe to say the first half is just about over.  Texas has had several players put up remarkable numbers this season, helping the team to a 47-33 record, good for first in the AL West.

MLB players involved in the Biogenesis scandal may not be suspended in 2013, according to an ESPN Dallas report.

In a rematch of the dramatic World Series from only a couple of seasons ago, the Texas Rangers and St. Louis Cardinals face off in what is sure to be a terrific matchup.

In the first game of the series on Friday night, the Rangers came out on top thanks to a go-ahead single in the ninth by Nelson Cruz. Saturday's contest has the potential to be equally as thrilling.

The Texas Rangers (41-32) make their first trip back to St. Louis since the 2011 World Series to take on the St. Louis Cardinals (47-26).

The Rangers will look to keep the momentum from winning three games in a four-game series against the Oakland Athletics.

The Texas Rangers had a hectic schedule in May, and it ended at home versus the Kansas City Royals. 

The early stages of the 2013 season have been dominated by good pitching, so it would not be all that surprising to see something accomplished on the mound that has not been done in over a decade this season.

On Thursday night, Yu Darvish beat the Detroit Tigers and threw 130 pitches. It wasn't his best performance this year or even this month, but it may end up the most scrutinized. 

The Texas Rangers are about three weeks into the new season. They were just dealt a big blow with the news that lefty Matt Harrison will need back surgery.

Despite the bad news, there is reason for optimism—after all, it's only April.

Ron Washington and his players can still set their sights on the division crown. Here are a few reasons why.
