Six days ago, Evan Grant had a story on Chris Young and the abysmal Texas Rangers offense with the headline, “The Rangers’ offense is running out of time, and Chris Young is running out of patience.”
Little did we know how little patience the Rangers’ president of baseball operations had left.
In 2024, coming off a World Championship, the front office was very patient with a team that underachieved offensively. Other than an early-season deal to acquire platoon DH Robbie Grossman, Chris Young largely stood pat and trusted that the hitters that were do dominant in 2023 would snap out of it.
