Before this season began, Joc Pederson proclaimed that the Rangers were going to win the American League West, which is always going to be competitive every year. Fast forward to this season, their hitting has been dry and falling even further in the AL West standings.

My Brutally Honest Thoughts About Barry Bonds
Recently, disgraced former MLB player Barry Bonds accused the league of continuously and repeatedly snubbing him for Hall of Fame consideration. As of 2025, Bonds, now 60, is still ineligible for the Hall, mainly for his use of performance-enhancing drugs during his career. He shared an Instagram post of different athletes who were blackballed from their respective sports. One of them was former San Francisco 49ers Quarterback Colin Kaepernick, who was infamous for taking a knee during the National Anthem during games to protest police brutality. In the case of Barry Bonds, he believes that now's the time for him to be in Cooperstown. Major League Baseball is actually doing him a favor by remaining barred from being in the Hall. They're doing it for his own good. He was inducted into the Pittsburgh Pirates Hall of Fame last season, alongside former manager Jim Leyland.
