Texas Rangers minor league relief pitcher Alex Speas is being promoted from AA Frisco to AAA Round Rock, according to Evan Grant.
This is a move that I think we have been anticipating and wondering about for a while. Speas, the Rangers’ second round pick in 2016, has always thrown hard but has struggled with injuries, as well as with his command. He retired from playing and was a high school coach last year, but after being away from a year decided he wanted to give playing one more shot.
That decision is paying off for Speas.
