7/31/25	Texas Rangers exit trade deadline with a thud against Mariners as woes in Seattle continue. They changed the name of this lovely stadium with the rolling roof and the open air spaces from Safeco Field to T-Mobile Park in 2019. Where the Rangers are concerned, though, it might as well have become the Little Shop of Horrors, presented, of course by T-Mobile. In a 6-0 loss, the Rangers allowed two runs to score on pitches that got away from catcher Kyle Higashioka (one ruled a wild pitch, the other a passed ball), allowed a homer hit so hard the metrics only said “interstellar,” and, of course, didn't do anything offensively. Be the smartest Rangers fan. Source: https://www.dallasnews.com/sports/rangers/2025/07/...

Escarra, the Yankees are in good shape at the position for this season and beyond. Higashioka is doing well, too. Source: https://www.nj.com/yankees/2025/05/kyle-higashioka...
