The Rangers are really bad and also have some key injuries. I'm almost ready to just start the firesale now to maximize the return. Sell off Darvish, Gomez, and Lucroy, take whatever you can get for Napoli. Listen to offers on Bush/Cashner/Ross (and consider doing the same on Beltre/Hamels when they come back).

My dad has partial season tickets for the Rangers, so I've been to plenty of games, but the only notable ones I can recall:

First World Series win in franchise history in 2010.
Seeing Josh Hamilton kill that guy.
Ian Kinsler's 6 for 6 cycle game.

Texas relief pitchers combined to go 4IP today, giving up 4 hits and 9 walks. The Astros managed to only score 2 runs in those innings, both on sac flies. Thats some impressively bad baseball.

Jon Daniels and Josh Boyd (Texas Assistant GM and head scout) are in Japan watching Shoehei Otani who isn't even pitching right now, so you other 29 teams can just pack it up for the Otani Lotto (Lottotani?)

Beltran got off to a hot start but has cooled significantly lately and actually has a negative WAR

Thanks a lot jerk

But seriously, this The Ringer article goes into how this is one of the worst seasons for players over 35 ever and is the worst in wRC+ since 1965

He sucked for us after we got him from NYY and I suspect that he is nearly done.
