Riding a seven-game winning streak on the road, the Texas Rangers have improved their record to 40-28, which is good for fourth best in all of baseball.
Even with the Rangers strong play, the Los Angeles Angels still sit only 2.5 games back of the Rangers after Saturday's games, so it looks like the Rangers should be looking for some help when the trade deadline arrives.

Posted: 9th June 2010 by Jason Brynsvold in MLB
After watching Stephen Strasburg carve through the Pittsburgh Pirates lineup in his major league debut to the tune of 14 strikeouts in 7 dominant innings, I couldn't help but think how monumental 2010 could be in the history of baseball.
First, we had Jason Heyward make his much anticipated debut on Opening Day, April 5th. He hit a homerun on his first swing as a major league hitter and hasn't ...
The Texas Rangers are clearly dedicated to building from within after they traded away their franchise first baseman, Mark Teixeira, for Jarrod Saltalamacchia and four other big-league prospects.
Four of the five players received in that trade (Elvis Andrus, Matt Harrison, Neftali Feliz and Saltalamacchia) have made significant impacts in the major leagues and have shown Rangers fans that it is okay to trust the decisions that general manager Jon ...
