Texas Rangers Tickets

After losing in two consecutive World Series, the Texas Rangers were left out of the playoffs last season, and many of their core players left. Most notably, Josh Hamilton signed with the Los Angeles Angels, Michael Young was traded to Philadelphia, and Mike Napoli went to Boston. Thankfully for Rangers fans, the great Nolan Ryan knows what he's doing, and the Rangers were able to snatch some fantastic players who are more than capable of filling the voids. The Rangers needed veteran leadership, defense, and quality at-bats; they got all three. The team signed former Chicago White Sox catcher A.J. Pierzynski and former Cardinals infielder/outfielder Lance Berkman, who fill all three needs. They also made sure that their pitching remained a club strength by signing relievers Joakim Soria and Jason Frasor.

The beginning of the season will likely have an adjustment period as everyone learns their roles, but the Rangers still have plenty of firepower in Nelson Cruz, Adrian Beltre, and the nascent Jurickson Profar to keep them more than competitive early on. And with an ace pitchers like Yu Darwish on board, the Rangers can certainly compete for the AL West. The 2013 Rangers schedule has the team starting on the road against the Houston Astros before coming home on Friday, April 5^th for opening day against the Los Angeles Angels. The Rangers will also invite the Tampa Bay Rays, Seattle Mariners, and Chicago White Sox to Rangers Ballpark in Arlington in April.
