ARLINGTON, Texas — On the surface, it is a great mystery.
Even after an early-week run-scoring splurge, the Rangers remain among MLB’s worst-producing offensive teams. How is that possible after they invested more than $500 million on hitters in the offseason and overhauled the coaching staff by hiring not one but two successful hitting coaches? These are supposed to be the solutions, not raise more questions.
Go beneath the surface a bit and perhaps a different question arises. Like how could this not have happened?
