Welcome to SportsDay Rangers<\/a>!<\/p>\n

Long-time Dallas Morning News Texas Rangers<\/a> beat writer Evan Grant has teamed up with Rangers senior advisor and team historian John Blake for a new podcast. Our two hosts bring nearly 70 years of combined experience covering the Rangers to the pod.<\/p>\n

Just as Team USA is about to start its quest for the World Baseball Classic title, manager Mark DeRosa, a Ranger in 2005-06, joins John and Evan to discuss his team\u2019s chances, his fervor for putting together the roster and even the possibility of Wyatt Langford joining the roster at some point in the tournament.<\/p>\n

But first, John and Evan run through the various injuries impacting the Rangers in spring training and mull the pitching situation.<\/p>\n
