Rangers have stayed in first place without DeGrom. They may be buyers.
Now that DeGrom is out for the rest of the year, I think its time for the Rangers to enter sell mode and be sellers for the deadline and see what prospects they can pick up. This is the kind of gut punch that completely demoralizes and derails a promising season. Get out ahead of it, accept the fact the season is over and start building toward the future.
Just another day at the Ohtani office:
Two-way superstar Shohei Ohtani (https://www.mlb.com/player/660271) continued his scorching hot June with yet another incredible showing, as he struck out 10 over 6 1/3 strong innings and also went 3-for-3 with two homers to lift the Angels to a 4-2 win (https://www.mlb.com/gameday/white-sox-vs-angels/2023/06/27/717592/final/box) over the White Sox on Tuesday night at Angel Stadium.
It marked the first time Ohtani had ever homered twice in a game that he’d pitched in, and he now leads the Majors with 28 blasts this season. He also became just the sixth player since 1900 to hit two homers in a game and strike out at least 10 batters; he's the first AL player to do it since 1963.
I guess this takes them out of the "seller" categoryNow that DeGrom is out for the rest of the year, I think its time for the Rangers to enter sell mode and be sellers for the deadline and see what prospects they can pick up.

That’s the best in Rangers history. Plus Eovaldi has a case to be the starter but I doubt Dusty will make it a Rangers showcase. I could see him starting Ohtani, because why not?My memory might be faulty but I don't recall the Rangers ever having 4 all star starters in the same year in my lifetime.
Rangers are wearing their Japanese league uniforms tonight. Most of Japanese ballparks use artificial turf too, so maybe that is the reasoning. Rangers trying their best to make metroplex baseball a Japanese pastime, maybe to recruit Shohei Ohtani.
And the logo was not enough—they even have a mythological creature, a Peagle, on the sleeve.

Well, you aren’t the only one here and I am confident there are others who have never seen a Peagle and might be wondering too. Really, it is called Peagle—the Rangers new mascot. You can read more about Peagle, the new logo and Metroplex rivalries and sensitivities here—Wow...thanks for posting. I've never seen this. Ever.

There is historical meaning which wraps Dallas, Fort Worth and Texas around Arlington, or something like that.What the Heck Is a Peagle?
The Texas Rangers’ new uniform design takes great pains—including the creation of a new, mythical mascot—to make fans throughout the Metroplex feel seen.www.texasmonthly.com
I very much like the color design of the uniform—the dark and light contrast and I always like retro cream colored jerseys.
