With all that is happening with the big-league club, the Rangers continue to sit on one of the best farm systems in baseball.
But they aren’t just letting the prospects stew this offseason in trade rumors. The club has been proactive in working with and monitoring their minor-leaguers.
The Rangers have already held two hitting mini-camps for select groups of prospects and will hold a larger pitching mini-camp next week in Arizona.
How do callups work if a different person owns the A team and the MLB team? I thought the major league ownership/management deal with minor league signings. What about promotions? Do owners get to hold guys back or say some guy is paid too much to be on the A team?
Owners and GMs of affiliates have nothing to do with their teams’ rosters or money. The advantage the Rangers owning affiliates was to put the teams where they wanted them. In the case of the High A team, it was out of the California League.
