At this year’s trade deadline, an active one to say the least, the Texas Rangers were firm sellers, dealing away the likes of Joey Gallo, Kyle Gibson and Ian Kennedy to the Yankees and Phillies, respectively.
Those deals have helped speed up a full scale rebuild that has officially kicked into gear as evidenced by the team’s lackluster on-field performance and strengthening farm system.
