ARLINGTON, Texas — They have all but perfected this part. On Thursday afternoon, on the airy concourse at Globe Life Field, marched a procession of Rangers ticket sales reps, marketing execs, front office officials and a gaggle of players who have been using the place for offseason workouts.
Among them, smiling more broadly than they have since they were on the dais up on the concourse 12 months ago: Marcus Semien and Corey Seager.
And finally: A trio of Jacob deGrom, Bruce Bochy and giant of a GM, Chris Young. We mean giant in the literal sense, at least for the time being. But it’s worth noting his height since the size differential wasn’t nearly as pronounced when standing beside the lanky 6-4 new ace and the sturdy 6-3 new manager.
