Texas Rangers president of baseball operations Chris Young joined the GBag Nation show on 105.3 The Fan (KRLD-FM) and discussed Marcus Semien’s breakout against the Cardinals, Nathan Eovaldi’s trip to the IL and why Texas has benched Adolis García.

Garcia went 3-for-6 with a double and a RBI in Saturday's 5-4 win over the White Sox.

Slumping Rangers slugger Adolis García was held out of Texas’ lineup for the third consecutive day, with president of baseball operations Chris Young saying the club wants the 2023 ALCS MVP to make some mechanical changes.

It is every team’s announced goal to run a lineup strictly by meritocracy and meritocracy alone. It’s a simple concept to idealize, but often impractical to deploy. Marcus Semien and Adolis García may leave the Rangers with no other choices.

Adolis García belts a 409-foot, three-run home run to left-center that puts the Rangers up 13-1 in the top of the 6th inning
