## Resource

Five years after the 2021 MLB draft, the Texas Rangers’ top picks are revealing a mixed bag of success and disappointment — from Jack Leiter’s injury-plagued rise to Aaron Zavala’s slow climb, Cameron Cauley’s late debut, and Ian Moller’s stalled development. Mitch Bratt, traded away, now belongs to Arizona, while the Rangers’ only true win came with Liam Hicks — a ninth-round catcher they wisely traded, now a potential everyday starter. It’s a tale of patience, injury, and missed opportunities in baseball’s long game. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
