The rest was groundwork, and the Rangers were in a lot of it. Per Rangers On SI, Scott Boras, who represents Corey Seager, was asked about the trade talk. "I have dialog with the Rangers about Corey for a lot of reasons, but it usually has to do with how they're utilizing him as the core of what they're doing to win," Boras said, per MLB.com's Kennedi Landry.

By Nolan Frost , RF Sports Radio Stars voice Stars fans, the old-school move after an 8-3 home loss is to skate the legs off the team the next morning. Glen Gulutzan thought about it.
