Over at The Athletic, Tyler Kepner checks out the dozen newcomers to the Hall of Fame ballot, which includes Rangers legends Shin-Soo Choo and Cole Hamels.
Kennedi Landry’s newsletter for this week covers the return of El Blondi Travis Jankowski as he begins his big league coaching career as a part of Skip Schumaker’s inaugural staff.
And, former Rangers GM Jon Daniels sat down for Ben & Skin’s YouTube show for a candid conversation.
