Sunday hops, 1-5-25.
A weekly compendium emptying the bench, with Rangers developments, rumors, and takes — and yes, a little TROT COFFEY.
Lots to get to in our first Hops of 2025.
Including 1,110 words, about halfway down, that you absolutely don’t want to read — or absolutely do — about the most gut-wrenching moment in Texas Rangers history, on October 27, 2011. I learned something new (new to me, at least) about that moment yesterday. It shook me.
On to this week’s Hops. You’ll know the section below when you get to it. Easy enough to skip past it if you choose.
