Texas Rangers 2024 All-Star closer Kirby Yates is about to come off the free-agent market on a deal with the Dodgers, who continue to pay no heed to the collective-bargaining tax and are creating cries for a salary cap in baseball. The Rangers, meanwhile, still have need for a closer, though what executives said a few weeks ago might bear true — the five bullpen additions might be it. This episode also includes an interview with Ivan “Pudge” Rodriguez, the former Rangers great and a member of the National Baseball Hall of Fame. He was interviewed at One Rangers Way, the luxury apartments near Globe Life Field.
