>The Rangers have zeroed in on Tampa Bay’s director of baseball operations Cole Figueroa for an assistant general manager’s role, two people with knowledge of the process told the *Dallas Morning News* Saturday. Figueroa, 37, spent parts of three seasons as an infielder with Tampa Bay, the New York Yankees and Pittsburgh from 2014-16, but has been the Rays’ director of baseball operations for the last three seasons. He was previously the Rays’ assistant director of hitting development.
I’m happy with executives from the Rays coming over to a team that actually spends.
I think this is awesome news!
Anyone else half expected to see JD’s name listed? 😂
I can’t wait to see what moves that the Rangers make this off season I think a lot of people are just throwing away the possibility of this team still being great just because they practically led the majors in injuries. That’s what always gets me about DFW sports fans they do so fast instead of realizing what happened was kind of out of Texas’s hands and a lot of the players that weren’t nearly as consistent hitting wise can easily fix that issue. Bochy would straight up go back to retirement if he thought this team wasn’t going to compete for a World Series again.
Scattershooting…While Wondering Whatever Happened to Jon Daniels
i think this is super exciting! it’s about time we get some fresh talent in the front office.
