Open(ed) arms.

A couple 2023 acquisitions provide the biggest news in camp so far.

I mean, I thought I asked pretty nicely.

But alas: we, along with two players, have been on the receiving end of a couple sobering surprises since camp opened on Tuesday.

The news dropped 27 hours apart, about a couple players who first joined the Rangers 28 weeks apart, back in the greatest year in franchise history.

Early Wednesday morning, social media buzzed with reports that Texas was bringing back postseason hero Jordan Montgomery on a one-year, low-cost contract. Mid-morning on Thursday, the bigger bomb dropped: it was announced that Sebastian Walcott needs elbow ligament surgery on his throwing arm.
