At some point, we have to wonder precisely what the Texas Rangers did to win the World Series in 2023. Was Black Magic involved in some way? Is that why the 2025 season hasn't just been bad? Is that why the team keeps getting hit with one piece of bad news after another? Whatever dark deities they awoke are taking their price for the championship? Is that why Nathan Eovaldi's career-best season (by a wide margin) just came to an abrupt and early end?
On Tuesday afternoon, just hours before the Rangers start game two of a critical series against the Los Angeles Angels, the club announced that Evo is out for the rest of the season.
