With the signing of ace pitcher Jacob deGrom, the Texas Rangers have put the rest of the American League on notice that they intend to be a contender, writes BNightengale.
“I'll never forget when we got him in '98 in San Diego,’’ Bochy said. “I mean, you just change your staff. We ended up going to the World Series that year. Not just the talent that he was, but you know Kevin. And his approach to the game and everything just made the rest of the staff better.’’
“You still feel the residual of signing somebody like this,’’ Bochy said. “It just does a lot for the other players. Hey, we mean business right now. I mean, we're trying to get back to contending and bringing winning baseball back to Texas.’’ “When you talk to C.Y., he's committed,’’ Bochy says. “He's got a real passion for trying to build a winning culture in Texas. He's from the Dallas area. It means a lot to him. It means a lot to improve the ballclub for the fans and get back to playing great baseball and hopefully getting back to the postseason and eventually hopefully winning a championship.
The Rangers have put the baseball world on high alert. They plan to spend, they plan to win, and they plan to bring that winning tradition back to Texas.
