Good morning, LSB.

The Rangers formally introduced new pitcher MacKenzie Gore yesterday.

Kennedi Landry says the Rangers hope Gore can “level up” in Arlington.

Evan Grant asks if adding another pitcher to this offense starved roster will be enough to compete in 2026.

Kevin Sherrington says the Gore deal was too logical to pass up for the Rangers.

Jeff Wilson ponders where the Rangers rotation ranks with the new addition.

In other news the Rangers announced 10 NRIs they’ll be taking to Arizona.

And Chris Young discusses when he envisions Sebastian Walcott cracking the major league roster.

That’s all for this morning. Happy Friday!
