<p>Veteran reliever <strong>Ryan Brasier</strong> is set to continue his Major League career with a new opportunity, as he looks to prove he can still contribute to a contending bullpen. </p>



<p>The 38-year-old right-hander is a two-time<strong> World Series </strong>champion, having won titles with the <strong>Boston Red Sox</strong> in 2018 and the <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/los-angeles-dodgers">Los Angeles Dodgers</a></strong> in 2024. While injuries slowed him down last season, he has shown in recent years that he can still be effective when healthy, especially in high-leverage situations.</p>



<p>According to a report from MassLive’s Chris Cotillo, Brasier and the <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/texas-rangers">Texas Rangers</a></strong> are finalizing a contract, with Evan Grant of <em>The Dallas Morning News</em> adding that it is expected to be a minor-league deal that includes a non-roster invitation to spring training.</p>



<h2>A proven arm with postseason pedigree</h2>



<p><strong>Brasier’s career has included clear ups and downs,</strong> but his postseason résumé stands out. During <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/boston-red-sox">Boston</a>’s 2018 playoff run, he allowed just one earned run in 8 2/3 innings, playing a key role in the bullpen.</p>

Alex Slitz/Getty Images</figcaption></figure>



<p><strong>With the Dodgers in 2024, Brasier served as an opener in two postseason games</strong>, including an elimination matchup against the Padres that ended in a shutout win. Overall, he logged nine innings across eight playoff appearances that year.</p>

<h2>New opportunity in Texas</h2>



<p>Last season with the <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/chicago-cubs">Chicago Cubs</a></strong>, Brasier spent most of the year on the injured list due to a groin strain. He appeared in just 28 games, finishing with a 4.50 ERA, though his underlying numbers suggested he pitched better than the results showed.</p>


<div class="wp_fsn_poll" id="6987232470a943df4bc92aa5" data-title="Will Ryan Brasier earn a spot in the Rangers’ Opening Day bullpen?" data-options="3"></div>


<p>The <strong>Rangers’ bullpen is an area that could use added depth</strong>, giving Brasier a realistic path to earn a role if he stays healthy. Pitching for his hometown team adds another layer of motivation as he heads into spring training looking to extend his career and make an impact in Texas.</p>

<p><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/corey-seager">Corey Seager</a> has a teammate who was expected to be a pitching option for <strong>Team USA</strong> at the <strong>2026 World Baseball Classic</strong>, but <strong>Jack Leiter will not be on the national team’s roster</strong> for the tournament, and it remains unclear who ultimately denied his participation.</p>



<p><em>“Though Team USA reached out about adding the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/texas-rangers">Rangers</a>’ right-hander to its World Baseball Classic roster, ultimately,<strong> the second-year starter will not participate,</strong> two people with knowledge of the situation told The Dallas Morning News,” Evan Grant wrote.</em></p>



<p>In his article for The Dallas Morning News, Grant makes it clear that it is still unknown who was behind the decision to prevent Leiter from playing in the WBC. “It is unclear <strong>if insurance was at the heart of the Leiter situation</strong> or if there were other concerns expressed by the Rangers,” Grant wrote.</p>



<h2>Not a heavy workload for Leiter</h2>



<p>While it is still not clear who was responsible for keeping Leiter off Team USA’s roster, it’s worth noting that his participation in the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/world-baseball-classic">World Baseball Classic</a> would not have placed significant stress on his arm. Grant reports that Leiter was <strong>expected to be used primarily during the opening </strong>phase of the tournament.</p>

<p><em>“Leiter, 25, was expected to be added as a piggy-back reliever, who likely would have appeared only in the first round for Team USA, <strong>which is scheduled to open the tournament March 6 against Brazil in Houston. </strong>It likely would have taken him away from the Rangers for at least one start, perhaps more,” Grant wrote.</em></p>

<p>Leiter finished the <strong>2025 season with a 3.86 ERA, </strong>a strong mark that officially made it his best year as a starter. He appeared in 29 total games for the Rangers, marking his second <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/mlb">MLB</a> season alongside Seager.</p>



<p>Grant also notes that one possible reason Leiter could be out of the 2026 WBC picture is organizational <strong>change within the Rangers,</strong> including the arrival of a new manager, Skip Schumaker, and a new pitching coach. <em>“This will be the first time Leiter will go to camp with the opportunity to simply prepare for his job,<strong> rather than trying to win a roster spot</strong>,”</em> Grant wrote.</p>

<p>By trading <strong>Brandon Nimmo</strong> to Texas, the <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/new-york-mets">New York Mets</a></strong> not only acquired Marcus Semien, but also may have helped the Rangers <strong>resolve a difficult internal situation involving Corey Seager</strong>, according to a new report.</p>



<p>Joel Sherman recently detailed the situation in an article for <em>The New York Post</em>: “<em>The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/texas-rangers">Rangers</a> felt the relationship between <strong>Marcus Semien and Corey Seager had become so toxic </strong>that they were willing to take Nimmo and $5 million from the Mets to move the three years and $72 million owed to Semien.”</em></p>



<p>The Rangers were not concerned about parting ways with their team captain. Their priority was putting an end to the ongoing <strong>drama surrounding Seager</strong>, one of the most important players on the roster, who finished the 2025 season with <strong>103 hits, 21 home runs, 50 RBIs, </strong>and a .271 batting average.</p>



<h3>Semien tried to keep the Rangers together</h3>



<p>While Nimmo’s arrival in Texas came as a surprise, Semien <strong>had reportedly never stopped trying </strong>to bring his teammates closer together, as Colton Stites wrote for <em>The Prospect Times</em>.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">

</div></figure>



<p>“<em>Marcus Semien, on the other hand, brought a high-energy, vocal presence to the clubhouse. Known for his durability (playing all 162 games in multiple seasons) and Gold Glove defense, Semien actively tried to foster team unity during 2025’s rough patches. As reported by DLLS Rangers insider Jeff Wilson,<strong> Semien organized several team get-togethers, </strong>but attendance was disappointingly low—often just a handful of players showed up.”</em></p>



<p>Last season, Semien appeared in <strong>127 games for the Rangers, recording 108 hits, 15 home runs, 62 RBIs, and a .230 batting average</strong> in what became his fourth and final season in Texas alongside Seager.</p>



<p><em>“Tensions reportedly peaked late in the season, <strong>with an alleged remark from Semien to Seager </strong>about ‘talking a lot for someone who only played around 30 games,’ underscoring frustration over injuries and perceived uneven contributions,” Stites wrote</em></p>

<p>The <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/texas-rangers">Texas Rangers</a></strong> have added a left-handed pitcher following a major trade with the <strong>Washington Nationals,</strong> sending five prospects, including Gavin Fien, <strong>to acquire MacKenzie Gore</strong>, who posted a 4.17 ERA last season.</p>



<p>The deal was first reported by Jon Heyman, who wrote, <em>“Breaking: MacKenzie Gore traded to Rangers,”</em> on X. It quickly became <strong>one of the most impactful trade stories of the day</strong>, especially with Texas parting ways <strong>with a third-base prospect </strong>who could have played a significant role in the team’s future.</p>



<p>According to Robert Murray on X, the Rangers sent <strong>Gavin Fien, Alejandro Rosario, Abimelec Ortiz, Devin Fitz-Gerald, and Yeremy Cabrera</strong> to <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/washington-nationals">Washington</a> in exchange for Gore.</p>



<h2>Was it a good or bad idea to let Gavin Fien go?</h2>



<p>The Rangers parted ways with the <strong>No. 2–ranked prospect in their farm system,</strong> a player they drafted in 2025 and viewed as one of the organization’s future cornerstones. According to Talkin’ Baseball on X, none of the prospects sent to Washington are currently ranked inside MLB’s Top 100.</p>

<p><em>“What you need to know about new Nats prospect Gavin Fien: 12th overall pick in the 2025 <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/mlb">MLB</a> Draft. He demolished<strong> top prep arms the summer before his senior year</strong>, posting a 1.262 OPS. Analytics people love him for his strong plate discipline and bat speed,” Paul Cubbage wrote on X (@PaulCubbage23).</em></p>


        <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/mlb/mackenzie-gore-to-the-rangers-whats-his-contract-after-trade-with-the-nationals"></div>


<p>Fien isn’t the only name drawing attention. Jeff Passan also pointed out that another prospect included in the Gore deal is highly regarded.<em> “A big return for the Nationals. Fien was the 12th pick last year.<strong> Evaluators love Fitz-Gerald,</strong>”</em> Passan wrote on X.</p>



<p>Another prospect in the trade package is Rosario, who has<strong> dealt with an elbow injury</strong>. Rangers president of baseball operations Chris Young told David Laurila of FanGraphs in November 2025 <strong>that Rosario will not be able to play in 2026.</strong></p>



<p><em>“Alejandro had an elbow injury and is going to miss all of next year as he recovers,” Young said. “We’re hoping <strong>to have him back in 2027</strong>, hopefully by spring training of 2027.”</em></p>

<p>The <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/texas-rangers" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Texas Rangers</a></strong> landed a well-known lefty for next season, as they traded with the <strong>Washington Nationals</strong> to get <strong>MacKenzie Gore</strong>. Now that they have one of the most coveted pitchers on the market, let’s take a look at the contract he’ll have.</p>



<p>The news were broke by Jon Heyman of the New York Post. After, Robert Murray of Foul Territory indicated <strong>the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/washington-nationals" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Nationals</a> gave up Gavin Fien, Alejandro Rosario, Abimelec Ortiz, Devin Fitz-Gerald and Yeremy Cabrer</strong>. </p>



<p>According to Spotrac, <strong>Mackenzie Gore will earn $5.6 million</strong>. Gore and the Nationals avoided arbitration a couple of weeks ago, when they agreed to a one-year deal. Now, two weeks later, he is headed to the Rangers to bolster their rotation.</p>



<h2>Gore is looking for a bounce back season</h2>



<p>The 27-year old had 30 starts in 2025 where he was hampered by an ankle injury that ended his season in September. Also, he had 4.17 ERA, 1.35 WHIP and 185/64 strikeouts-to-base-on-balls ratio. He also had 5-15 record. The ERA could improve but Gore has never been an ERA leader. He did have a career-high in strikeouts. On the flip side,<strong> he led the majors in wild pitches for a second straight year.</strong></p>

<p><strong>Gore is a high-upside pitcher with an elite four-pitch mix and he has established himself like a strikeout artist</strong>. His curveball is very dominant and he also has a strong slider. His changeup is a swing-and-miss kind of throw. He brings a lot of heat to the mound.</p>

MacKenzie Gore to the Rangers: What's his contract after trade with the Nationals - Bolavip US

<p>After missing out on the playoffs once again last season, the <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/san-francisco-giants">San Francisco Giants</a></strong> are looking to reverse that image and return to the forefront of <strong>MLB</strong>. To achieve this, they have been making roster moves, and according to reports, they landed a veteran pitcher from the <strong>Texas Rangers</strong> during free agency.</p>



<p>“<em><strong>Tyler Mahle has agreed to a one-year deal with the Giants</strong>, per source. Physical is complete and the deal is done</em>,” reported <em>Mark Feinsand</em> of MLB.com via his X (formerly Twitter) account.</p>



<p>Mahle arrives in San Francisco to join a rotation led by <strong>Logan Webb</strong>, where he can provide depth and experience to a Giants team looking to return to postseason contention.</p>



<p>The right-handed pitcher comes off a stint with the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/texas-rangers">Texas Rangers</a>, where he posted strong numbers despite his limited time on the mound. There, he recorded a <strong>career-best 2.18 ERA</strong> with a 6-4 record and 66 strikeouts over 86 2/3 innings across 16 starts.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1920" height="1080" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20260101_BUS_554814_tyler-mahle_50d2bdfc.webp&amp;width=1920&amp;height=1080" alt="" class="wp-image-554816"></figure><figcaption>Tyler Mahle of the Texas Rangers pitches during the first inning against the Chicago White Sox. (Getty Images)</figcaption></figure>



<h2>Giants aim for a healthy Mahle next season</h2>



<p>Injuries have plagued Mahle over the past few seasons, and the Giants are hopeful they can get him in peak form, as a healthy right-hander could be a major asset in 2026.</p>


        <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/mlb/mlb-rumors-bo-bichette-linked-to-perfect-nl-west-fit-as-blue-jays-face-key-decision"></div>

        

        


<p>During the 2024 season, Mahle was only able to appear in <strong>three games</strong> for the Rangers while recovering from right elbow surgery  and later suffering from right shoulder tightness. Additionally, during this past season, he was sidelined for about three months due to right shoulder fatigue, which limited him to just <strong>16 appearances.</strong></p>



<p>His previous tenure with the <strong>Minnesota Twins</strong> also fell well below expectations due to recurring injuries that kept him off the field for long stretches. During the 2022 season, he managed only <strong>four starts</strong> with the Twins before suffering right shoulder inflammation, which kept him out for the remainder of the year. 2023 saw no improvement for Mahle, who made only <strong>three starts</strong> before right arm posterior impingement and a flexor pronator strain forced him out again.</p>



<p>While Mahle’s injury history is certainly concerning, the Giants decided to take a gamble on the former Rangers pitcher since the risk of the deal is minimal, being only a one-year contract. Should he avoid any setbacks this season, Mahle could be a significant help to a San Francisco team looking to return to <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/mlb">MLB</a> relevance.</p>

Rangers reportedly losing veteran pitcher to SF Giants in MLB free agency - Bolavip US

<p>A few years have passed since their <strong>2023 <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/world-series">World Series</a></strong> victory, and the <strong>Texas Rangers</strong> have their sights set on rejoining the pack of contenders for the <strong>2026 MLB season</strong>. <strong>Corey Seager</strong> needs talent around him, and reinforcements are slowly starting to arrive.</p>



<p>According to journalist Jeff Passan on X, the <strong>Rangers have agreed to bring in Alexis Diaz</strong>, the free-agent pitcher who was an All-Star during his time with the Cincinnati Reds. The right-handed reliever is joining <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/texas-rangers">Texas</a> on a one-year contract.</p>



<p>Earlier, <strong>catcher Danny Jansen joined the team on a two-year, $14.5 million contract, as did left-hander Tyler Alexander</strong>, who also agreed to a one-year deal with the franchise.</p>



<p>Skip Schumaker’s team is looking to end a two-year streak of missing the playoffs, and surrounding <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/corey-seager">Corey Seager</a> with the best possible support could be one of the key factors in making that happen.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1920" height="1080" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20251213_BUS_544669_alexis-diaz_e168ed7a.webp&amp;width=1920&amp;height=1080" alt="Alexis Diaz" class="wp-image-544693"></figure><figcaption>Alexis Díaz #43 of the Cincinnati Reds.</figcaption></figure>



<h2>Diaz’s MLB numbers</h2>



<p>Following his 2023 All-Star season with the Cincinnati Reds, closer <strong>Alexis Diaz faced a sharp decline in his subsequent MLB performance.</strong> The pitcher endured a tumultuous campaign, splitting time between the Reds, Los Angeles Dodgers, and Atlanta Braves across just 18 games. </p>


        <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/mlb/brandon-nimmos-message-shows-zero-resentment-toward-mets-after-approving-rangers-trade"></div>


<p>His statistics highlighted the struggle, featuring a high 8.15 ERA and a 1.53 WHIP over only 17.2 innings pitched. Most concerning were the <strong>16 earned runs and six home runs conceded</strong>, leading to an alarming 3.1 home runs per nine innings rate. </p>



<p>Despite these poor numbers, the Texas Rangers recently signed Diaz, making a clear bet that he can rebound to the reliable late-inning form he demonstrated in his earlier, more successful seasons.</p>

<p><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/brandon-nimmo">Brandon Nimmo</a> was one of those players who felt like part of the heart of the <strong>New York Mets</strong> fan base. Now, he’s no longer with the team. He’s heading to the <strong>Texas Rangers</strong>, and he recently said in a message that this trade is ultimately what’s best for the Mets.</p>



<p><em>“The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/new-york-mets">Mets</a> would not have brought this trade if they didn’t feel like it put the <strong>Mets in the best position to win</strong> going forward,” </em>Nimmo said, <strong>speaking calmly and sounding fully aligned</strong> with the decision. <em>“They made it very apparent that they weren’t actively shopping me but that the Rangers really, really, really wanted me.”</em></p>



<p>In the long message posted by SNY Mets, Nimmo admitted he’s starving to win a World Series. <em>“I would not have waived the no-trade clause if I did not think that I could come here [Texas] and win and<strong> be a part of chasing that World Series.</strong>”</em></p>



<h2>A World Series is at the center of Nimmo’s priorities</h2>



<p>Among the many things Nimmo addressed, he <strong>emphasized twice how important winning a World Series is to him</strong>. He called it a major goal and made it clear that personal stats or franchise records, things that could’ve helped define a strong career with the Mets, were not what he truly wanted.</p>

<h2>Nimmo admits the trade caught him off guard</h2>



<p>Fans wanted to know if Nimmo was upset by the trade. In his recent comments, he admitted it wasn’t something he saw coming. <strong><em>“It definitely took me as a shock. I was surprised to hear that.” </em></strong>And as previously reported, it took him several days to accept the move.</p>



<p>Nimmo also revealed he spoke with Jacob deGrom, his former Mets teammate until 2022. The pitcher helped him work through the decision, and according to Nimmo, he is<em> “really, really excited”</em> to have him in Texas. <em>“I would not have waived the no-trade clause if I did not think that I could come here <strong>and win and be a part of chasing that World Series</strong>.”</em></p>



<p>But as he said himself, if the trade was truly what the Mets believed was best for their future, then that’s how he viewed it too. He accepted it as something that could <strong>benefit the organization</strong>. </p>



<p>President of Baseball Operations David Stearns spoke briefly about that “benefit,” saying cautiously, <em>“I don’t know <strong>if it’s necessarily wanting to change the clubhouse dynamics. </strong>I think it’s a recognition that what we did last year wasn’t good enough and running back the exact same group wasn’t the right thing to do,”</em> when asked whether moving Nimmo was meant to alter locker room chemistry.</p>

<h2>Mets fans get one last message from Nimmo</h2>



<p>Before heading to his new team, Nimmo made sure to say goodbye to the Mets fans <strong>who supported him through the years,</strong> from the minors to the majors. He thanked them for their loyalty and love.</p>



<p><em>“There is truly no way I could adequately put into words how much my tenure with the Mets has meant to me. <strong>All I can say is thank you. </strong>Thank you Mets fans for embracing and welcoming a kid from Cheyenne, Wyoming to the Big Apple. I always aspired to become a big leaguer—<strong>I never knew I’d have the opportunity to accomplish that dream in a city so wildly passionate about the game of baseball. </strong>The last 14 years have felt like a dream, and it has been an absolute honor to share them with you. You made me feel like family, and I hope you felt the same. I will always be grateful for our time and memories together. With love, always,” Nimmo wrote on Instagram.</em></p>

<p>The <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/new-york-mets">New York Mets</a></strong> made a significant statement this offseason by acquiring All-Star second baseman <strong>Marcus Semien </strong>from the<strong> Texas Rangers</strong>, a decisive move aimed at reinforcing the lineup around <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/juan-soto">Juan Soto</a></strong> in exchange for longtime outfielder<strong> Brandon Nimmo</strong>.</p>



<p>Both teams enter the trade following difficult seasons: the <strong>Rangers missed the postseason in consecutive years since winning the 2023 World Series</strong>, while the <strong>Mets</strong> failed to reach the playoffs in Juan Soto’s first season.</p>



<p><em>“BREAKING: The New York Mets and Texas Rangers are finalizing a trade that would send second baseman <strong>Marcus Semien to the Mets and outfielder Brandon Nimmo to the Rangers</strong>, sources tell ESPN,”</em> reported Jeff Passan. Nimmo waived his no-trade clause to facilitate the move, ending a decade-long tenure with the Mets.</p>



<h2>Why did the Mets and Rangers make this trade?</h2>



<p>The trade gives <strong>Semien</strong> a new home in New York, <strong>addressing a key infield need</strong>, while the Rangers add Brandon Nimmo, a <strong>2015 first-round pick</strong> and longtime Met.</p>

<p>This is not the first major deal between the <strong>Rangers</strong> and <strong>Mets</strong> during the Steve Cohen era. In 2023, Texas acquired <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/max-scherzer">Max Scherzer</a></strong> from New York during their World Series run, with the Mets covering most of the contract while gaining top prospects. </p>

The 25 best Texas Rangers icons in MLB history: From Nolan Ryan to Beltre - Bolavip US

<p>The <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/new-york-mets" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">New York Mets</a></strong> appear to have found the missing piece of their pitching puzzle in Nolan McLean. With McLean on the roster, the need for additional pitching support seems much less urgent. While that’s a bit of an exaggeration, it’s undeniable that McLean was instrumental in delivering another victory for the Mets, this time clinching the series finale against the <strong>Texas Rangers</strong>.</p>



<p>McLean’s presence on the mound helped the Mets snap a six-game losing streak and recover from a four-game series loss to the Philadelphia Phillies. His exceptional performance against the Rangers came at a crucial moment, <strong>as the Mets are battling to maintain their Wild Card positioning, facing pressure from the San Francisco Giants.</strong></p>



<p>McLean’s outstanding performance also etched his name into the Mets’ franchise history. <strong>With the lowest ERA over his first six starts, he achieved a remarkable milestone. </strong>Following the triumph over the <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/texas-rangers" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Rangers</a></strong>, McLean shared his thoughts on reaching this outstanding achievement.</p>



<p><em><strong>“I’m not a huge stats guy. I try to just go out there and give my team the best chance to win every single time,”</strong></em> McLean told the media post-game. He emphasized that accolades won’t distract him and that he remains focused on supporting the Mets in their pursuit of a Wild Card spot.</p>

<h2>Francisco Alvarez reflects on McLean’s impact</h2>



<p>In the wake of a milestone achievement, Francisco Alvarez shared his insights on teammate McLean’s impressive performance. This came after the Mets’ victory against the Rangers, <strong>where the media sought Alvarez’s perspective on McLean’s contributions during the regular season.</strong></p>


        <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nhl/ny-mets-manager-carlos-mendoza-breaks-silence-on-whos-to-blame-amid-six-game-skid-in-nl-wild-card-race"></div>


<p>“<em>He impresses me every day when he’s on the mound,”</em> Alvarez remarked. <em><strong>“He’s a player who can control every pitch, which is what makes him so effective.” </strong></em>As McLean’s performance is creating plenty of buzz, and even his teammates are praising him, the Mets could rely on him to secure that Wild Card spot.</p>



<h2>McLean’s standout stats in his first six games with the Mets</h2>



<p>It’s uncommon for a rookie MLB player to receive widespread acclaim immediately following their debut, but McLean has defied the norm. From the start, <strong>analysts and Mets fans have lauded his potential and impact, highlighting him as a remarkable player to watch.</strong></p>



<p>Living up to that confidence, McLean has delivered outstanding statistics. Over his six starts, <strong>he has conceded just 25 hits and 5 runs, allowing only one home run while striking out 40 batters in 37.2 innings.</strong> His impressive 1.19 ERA provides head coach Carlos Mendoza with a crucial asset as the Mets continue their pursuit of a Wild Card spot with strategic game planning.</p>

Nolan McLean reflects on reaching milestone with the NY Mets after beating the Rangers - Bolavip US

<p>In a series finale that saw the <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/new-york-yankees" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">New York Yankees</a></strong> triumph over the <strong>Texas Rangers</strong>, David Bednar emerged as a standout performer. Marking the Yankees’ first victory in August, Bednar, a strategic mid-season addition, delivered a remarkable performance that played a pivotal role in the win.</p>



<p>Amidst a charged atmosphere at Yankee Stadium and a vocal online fan base, the Yankees’ players rose to the occasion. Key contributions came from Paul Goldschmidt and Bednar, <strong>with both players instrumental in securing the crucial series victory.</strong></p>



<p>Bednar’s impressive display has prompted the Yankees’ coaching staff to deliberate over their strategy for the upcoming series against the Houston Astros, one of the top teams of the current regular season. <strong>This matchup presents a significant test for the Yankees as they seek to bolster their position in the standings.</strong></p>



<p>In the wake of Bednar’s outstanding game against the <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/texas-rangers" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Rangers</a></strong>, the Yankees have made a decisive roster move concerning their pitching lineup. The team announced via social media that <strong>they have released right-handed pitcher JT Brubaker, who had played 12 games this season for the Yankees.</strong></p>



<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">

</div></figure>



<h2>Brubaker’s stats in this regular season with the Yankees</h2>



<p>As the Yankees made roster adjustments, Brubaker’s performance unfortunately did not command a lasting presence on the team this season.<strong> Over the course of 12 games, he pitched 16 innings, recording 10 strikeouts.</strong></p>


        <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/mlb/ny-yankees-hc-aaron-boones-concise-7-word-take-on-david-bednars-performance-against-rangers"></div>


<p>Additionally, Brubaker <strong>allowed 10 hits, 6 runs, and issued 9 bases on balls. With these numbers, he struggled to make a significant impact. </strong>As the franchise endures a challenging season, Brubaker was among those unable to fully leverage their potential with the Yankees.</p>



<h2>Brubaker’s career stats</h2>



<p>Prior to joining the Yankees, Brubaker spent three years with the Pittsburgh Pirates, delivering a commendable set of statistics.<strong> In 63 games, he notched 324 strikeouts, while allowing 328 hits, 187 runs, and 51 home runs.</strong></p>



<p>Despite these commendable performances, <strong>Brubaker did not appear in any Major League Baseball games for three years until the Yankees brought him back this season.</strong> Unfortunately, he was unable to replicate his past successes during his stint in New York.</p>

<h2>Bednar’s stellar performance against the Rangers</h2>

NY Yankees' new addition David Bednar ties 43-year-old franchise record in triumph over Rangers - Bolavip US

<p><strong>New York Yankees</strong> manager <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/aaron-boone" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Aaron Boone</a></strong> was at the center of controversy following the team’s recent two-game sweep by the <strong>Texas Rangers</strong>. With the Yankees trailing 0-2 in the series, the fan base is experiencing growing frustration over the team’s underwhelming start this August. Boone’s roster management decisions, in particular, have drawn significant ire from supporters.</p>



<p>While players are often held accountable for a franchise’s loss on the field, there are times when the focus shifts to the manager’s strategic decisions, or lack thereof. Fans have taken to social media to debate Boone’s choices, <strong>particularly criticizing his roster adjustments, or absence thereof, during these critical games.</strong></p>



<p>In Tuesday’s matchup against the <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/texas-rangers" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Rangers</a></strong>, Boone opted to send Devin Williams to the mound once again, despite Williams’ underperformance in Monday’s series opener. <strong>However, the most contentious issue was the continued sidelining of Mark Leiter Jr., who remained in the bullpen much to the dismay of the fan base.</strong></p>



<p><strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/new-york-yankees" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Yankees</a></strong> fans had anticipated that with Leiter Jr. back, he would be included in the lineup. <strong>Boone, however, defended his decision post-game as fans continued to voice their displeasure.</strong></p>

<p><em>“<strong>We don’t have a lot left down there, Leiter being in a situation where he obviously hasn’t pitched in a while. If I could get it to a four-out scenario, I was going to do it. </strong>I thought Devin could still get some swing and miss there, but obviously didn’t,”</em> Boone explained to the media after the team’s loss to the Rangers.</p>


        <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/mlb/ny-yankees-make-strong-decision-with-newcomer-struggling-under-aaron-boone"></div>


<h2>Why are fans upset with Boone’s remarks?</h2>



<p>Fans have taken to social media in response to Boone’s comments about not fielding Leiter Jr., citing the player’s lack of recent play as the reason. However, supporters are quick to point out that in Game 1 of the World Series against the Los Angeles Dodgers, <strong>Boone didn’t hesitate to field a player in a similar situation as Leiter Jr.</strong></p>



<p>While the context of the prior instance differed, with the team vying for a championship title, <strong>the skepticism of fans emerges from Boone’s decision during a regular season game against the Rangers, a game crucial for playoff contention.</strong> As a result, Boone’s comments have sparked significant debate among the fan base.</p>



<h2>Yankees fans launch campaign for Boone’s departure</h2>



<p>Despite previous successes under his management, a faction of Yankees fans has initiated a campaign for Boone’s dismissal. <strong>An image circulating on social media denotes a date, August 12th, for Boone to step down as head coach.</strong> This reflects the growing discontent among the fan base, who, despite recognizing Boone’s past achievements, are eager for change.</p>
