The Texas Rangers begin their AL wild-card series against the Tampa Bay Rays on Tuesday, but before that, general manager Chris Young had to get something off his chest regarding a reporter's comments about how the AL West was won.
A 6-1 win over the Seattle Mariners on Saturday helped the Rangers qualify for the postseason for the first time since 2016. If they won again Sunday or were helped by a Houston Astros loss, they would've clinched the AL West division title.
Instead, the Rangers dropped their regular-season finale to the Mariners 1-0, while the Astros topped the Arizona Diamondbacks 8-1, giving Dusty Baker's club a third consecutive division crown.
