SURPRISE, Ariz. – Rangers general manager Jon Daniels has in his office a dry-erase board with names of possible Opening Day roster combinations scribbled upon it. In the past, it’s often looked something like a physics equation, with question marks, crossed out names, alternative options and the like.
This year, he’s barely touched the thing. Barring injury, the roster is that close to being firm with more than three weeks to go before the season opener against Cleveland on April 6.
