The one-third mark of the MLB season has passed, enough time that buyer’s remorse already is, at minimum, a concept for the Phillies with Trea Turner , the Twins with Carlos Correa and the Yankees with Carlos Rodon .
This is offered not just as a reminder that big-time free agency comes with a significant miss rate — hey look, Kris Bryant is on the Rockies’ injured list again — but that one reason the Rangers began the weekend with the best 55-game record in their history and the majors’ second-best mark in 2023 was due to a high hit rate on nearly $850 million spent in free agency the past two offseasons.
Bochy was essentially forestalling an eventual Hall of Fame selection, and he wasn’t going to do that for just any team. He believed what Young was selling, that the Rangers could win. So he entered this weekend at 2,038 wins, two shy of Walter Alston to move into the top 10 all-time, and with a 2 ¹/₂-game lead in the AL West.
“I think the strengths of the Rangers are sustainable and really good,” said an executive from another recent opponent, who asked not to be named. “The lineup is diverse. You can’t pitch it one way. You can’t think you are getting through the really strong top six and you are good. Leody Taveras is emerging. So was Duran. It is the best offense we have seen this year.”And the Rangers’ 3.68 ERA was sixth in the majors, with a 3.28 rotation ERA that was second only to the Rays .
