The man pictured above? That’s Josh Jung, the Texas Rangers‘ elite third-base prospect and top organizational minor league talent.
That sounds great, until you realize he probably won’t begin the 2021 season with the big league club. Instead, he likely has a starting hot corner role waiting for him in Double-A Frisco.
Effectively, that leaves the Rangers without a quality solution at third base to begin the year.
