Texas Rangers

Tommy John surgery has become as much a brand name as Band-Aid, Kleenex or Coke. We accept the once-experimental surgery as a surefire remedy to fix a pitcher’s arm.

As Yu Darvish continues rebuilding his arm strength from Tommy John surgery, the Texas Rangers will go with Cole Hamels as their Opening Day starter against the Seattle Mariners on April 4.

Shortstop Ian Desmond has been a huge part of the Washington Nationals' success in recent years, but the two sides parted ways Sunday as Desmond signed with the Texas Rangers in free agency.  

Texas Rangers pitcher Cole Hamels has filed a lawsuit against Cornucopia Events after he and his wife were unable to get into the 2015 Victoria's Secret fashion show.   

Right-handed pitcher Jeremy Guthrie has agreed to a minor league deal with the Texas Rangers, pending a physical, per TR Sullivan of MLB.com.

After a successful debut season with the Texas Rangers in 2015, manager Jeff Banister was rewarded Friday in the form of an exercised contract option for 2015.

According to Rangers Executive Vice President of Communications John Blake, the 52-year-old former Pittsburgh Pirates bench coach was also given a team option for 2019.

The Texas Rangers plan to sign left-handed slugger Ike Davis to a minor league contract, according to Jon Heyman of MLB Network.

Evan Grant of the Dallas Morning News confirmed the deal Sunday, noting it will include an invitation to spring training.

Darvish Outlines Throwing Schedule

Tuesday, Feb. 9

Darvish told Evan Grant of the Dallas Morning News that he plans on throwing his first bullpen session in March as he recovers from Tommy John surgery.

Texas Rangers executive vice president of communications John Blake announced Monday the club re-signed starting pitcher Colby Lewis on a one-year contract.  

The 36-year-old veteran went 17-9 in 2015, but he had a 4.66 ERA. Blake specified Lewis' deal will mark his seventh season with the team.

It's not uncommon for a player to go from being a top prospect to being trade bait in a matter of years. That sort of thing happens all the time.

But Jurickson Profar? He's a different story. The Texas Rangers' 22-year-old middle infielder is definitely a former top prospect, but his status as trade bait is...well, even "complicated" is putting it lightly.
