Alan Trejo will go down in Rangers history. Well, Rangers spring training history. And if the games don’t count, do the records? Anyway, Trejo, an infielder on a minor league invite, became the first Ranger to use the Automated Ball Strike (ABS) replay challenge system in the Rangers’ 5-2 spring opener loss to Kansas City.

The Yankees sent Hauver, infielder Josh Smith, infielder Ezequiel Duran and right-hander Glenn Otto to Texas at the 2021 trade deadline for Gallo who, ironically, started at first base for the Chicago White Sox on Monday vs. the Rangers at Camelback Ranch in Glendale.

Hey, just because Bruce Bochy thinks that Will Venable will make a great big league manager, that doesn’t mean he plans to hand him wins. He didn’t in his first meeting with his former deputy at least.

But it's not in free agency, though the Rangers could certainly make a play. Rymer wrote that Texas could be a potential trade partner if the Toronto Blue Jays feel they need to deal him or risk not getting anything in return if he leaves in free agency.

The Chicago Cubs entered spring training with one glaring hole on their roster: Third base. Alex Bregman felt like a perfect fit in Chicago, but the team lost a bidding war to the Boston Red Sox. The Cubs do have Matt Shaw, their top prospect, but how much trust should they have in a guy without any MLB experience?
