Congratulations to the Texas Rangers on winning their first World Series championship on Wednesday night, with a 5-0 win over the Arizona Diamondbacks in Game 5 at Chase Field. It has been a long, often frustrating road for Rangers fans to get here, but they’ve made it, and now all

ARLINGTON -- Corey Seager is a man of few words, often preferring to let his bat do the talking. But even Seager can’t help but celebrate when the time comes. As the Rangers stood on the stage placed in the middle of the North Plaza at Globe Life Field to

PHOENIX -- Less than 24 hours after the D-backs' season came to an end with a loss to the Rangers in Game 5 of the World Series, the pain was still evident in general manager Mike Hazen and manager Torey Lovullo as the pair met with the media for the

The celebration that started in Phoenix on Wednesday night continued Friday in Arlington, where the city’s Entertainment District is hosting a victory parade more than 50 years in the making to commemorate the first World Series title in Rangers history. The parade, which you can watch live on MLB Network

Here’s something about October and November baseball as ageless and as timeless as, well, Bruce Bochy: We come away from the World Series, every single time, with new legends of the fall. This time it was an old manager named Bochy and his players: Corey Seager, Adolis García, Marcus Semien,

PHOENIX -- We will forever think of this 2023 triumph as the first World Series championship for the Texas Rangers franchise, which had previously been MLB’s oldest team without a ring. But let the record show that with their 5-0 victory over the D-backs in Game 5 on Wednesday night

PHOENIX -- There are all sorts of ways to contextualize what made this World Series title for the Texas Rangers so special. For starters, they were one of just six franchises who had never won a World Series, and of those six, they have been around longest, if you include

While Lourdes Gurriel Jr. fell short of joining his older brother, Yuli Gurriel, as a World Series champion in 2023 -- his D-backs fell to the Rangers in five games -- there is still precedent for title-winning sibling pairs in MLB history.

For the first time in franchise history, the Rangers are World Series champions. After Texas sealed its five-game Fall Classic victory with a win over the D-backs at Chase Field on Wednesday, its title is set to be immortalized at the National Baseball Hall of Fame via select artifacts from

Josh Sborz delivered. The curveball dropped. Ketel Marte watched. Jonah Heim squeezed the pitch, then immediately raised his arms in celebration as Sborz spiked his glove. The celebration was on. This moment, when the first World Series championship in Rangers history was sealed, will be remembered forever by the team

The risks are obvious, but if done right, free agency is the quickest way for a club to infuse its roster with proven talent and become a legitimate contender. Take this year’s World Series champion Rangers for example. Texas missed the playoffs in six straight seasons from 2017-22, but it

PHOENIX -- It was perhaps fitting that the Rangers clinched the 2023 World Series title on a night when the D-backs not only had constant traffic on the bases, but Texas didn't have a baserunner until the fifth -- and went without a hit until the seventh. But at the

PHOENIX -- As an 85 mph curveball left Josh Sborz’s hand and hit the corner of the zone for a called third strike, shortstop Corey Seager jumped into the arms of second baseman Marcus Semien. The two business-like middle infielders let the emotions flow. They converged in the middle of

PHOENIX -- Bruce Bochy thinks that last year's World Baseball Classic qualifiers were the first time he realized how much he missed the game. Born in Bussac-Forêt, France, with a military father, Bochy was managing the French national team as they attempted to qualify for the WBC. It was for

PHOENIX -- The D-backs were one of the Major Leagues’ best defensive teams in 2023, and manager Torey Lovullo is fond of saying, “I’m pitching and defense at my core.” Three D-backs players -- first baseman Christian Walker, catcher Gabriel Moreno and center fielder Alek Thomas -- are among the

PHOENIX -- The pressure mounted with each out. Every pitch delivered by Nathan Eovaldi in Game 5 of the World Series carried extra weight as D-backs starter Zac Gallen no-hit the Rangers into the seventh inning at Chase Field. If Eovaldi could limit Arizona, though, he could give his team

PHOENIX -- As the ball fell out of his mitt and scooted away, Jonah Heim panicked. The catcher of the newly crowned World Series champions knew the significance of what was sitting there on the Chase Field dirt. “That ball,” Heim said, “means something to the state of Texas and

PHOENIX -- Wednesday spelled the end of the season for the Arizona Diamondbacks. A 5-0 loss at the hands of the Rangers in Game 5 of the World Series sent the D-backs home for the winter. Rather than the end of something, though, it felt like more of a beginning

PHOENIX -- As Zac Gallen walked off the mound in the seventh inning of Game 5 of the World Series on Wednesday night, his warmup song, “Let the Beat Build” by Lil Wayne, blared through the speakers at Chase Field. A symphony of cheers from the sellout crowd greeted him

If you’re on Will Smith’s team this time of year, consider yourself fortunate. No, not THAT Will Smith. Nor the acting one. We’re talking about Rangers reliever Will Smith -- because he just did something legendary.

The Rangers won the 2023 World Series, and Corey Seager was named the World Series MVP ... again. That puts him in exclusive company -- Seager is just the fourth player to win multiple World Series MVP trophies since the award was first given out in 1955. The Rangers' star

What makes a great team? Well, having great players helps. But every team needs someone who can bring an entire clubhouse together and keep everything on track through the inevitable ups and downs of a long season. Knowing how to handle more than two dozen personalities is just as important

PHOENIX -- The Rangers -- and especially their fans -- know better than to make assumptions about what’s to come. This is the franchise that was one strike away -- twice -- from its first World Series title in 2011, and that’s a sentence that still sends shivers down the

PHOENIX -- There is no letting up or sigh of relief in the World Series until the final out is recorded. But hitting for the cycle and scoring five runs in back-to-back innings early will give a team the opportunity to play free on the opposing turf.
