Good morning.

The DMN’s Nate Sanchez writes about the Texas Rangers wasting an early lead with an off night from Jacob deGrom.

Kennedi Landry writes that the eventual blowout loss sent the Rangers back to .500 and further clouded their trade deadline plans.

Shawn McFarland writes that Chris Young would like to see the no-longer-in-first-place Rangers play well before buying at the trade deadline.

Jeff Wilson writes that more than an infusion by trade, the Rangers need health and specifically for Corey Seager to make an impact.

McFarland notes that Seager is still working his way back from his latest ailment but there’s no date yet for which to expect his return.

Kiley McDaniel and Jeff Passan update their rankings of the top trade candidates and the teams that could use them ahead of the trade deadline.

Landry writes that the Rangers have come to terms with their Day 1 draft picks, which includes third-rounder Brody Bumila signing as expected.

And, McFarland writes that with the addition of first-rounder Gio Rojas, shortstop Connor Comeau and first-round talent Bumila, the Rangers receive a much-needed injection of talent on the farm.

Have a nice day!
