Texas Rangers | featured news

Hall of Fame pitcher and Texas Rangers president Nolan Ryan has
won the high-stakes bidding war for the team.

Newly acquired ace Cliff Lee has been added to the Rangers' 25-man roster and will make his Texas debut against the Baltimore Orioles.

The Texas Rangers were bystanders for the playoffs in the first decade of the 2000s, but they are intent on returning this season, bankruptcy court or not. That became apparent on Friday, when the Rangers traded for the All-Star left-hander Cliff Lee, who had seemed to be headed to the Yankees.

A man was hospitalized late Tuesday after losing his balance trying to catch a foul ball at a Texas Rangers game and falling 30 feet.

Owning a baseball team isn't always a license to print money. Take the Texas Rangers, for example. Ten years after signing Alex Rodriguez to a then unheard of $252 million contract, the MLB franchise has filed for bankruptcy.

Now, it's probably not exactly fair to blame the team's financial failings on the current Yankees slugger. Still, USA Today explains that A-Rod is one of the team's largest unsecured creditors.
