| 4/21/25 | Texas Rangers Starting Pitcher Has One of the Most Lethal Pitches in the Entire Sport. The Texas Rangers have had somewhat of a mixed bag when it comes to their start this season, with their offense being somewhat stagnant at points while their pitching has led them to a 13-9 record through the first few series. This places them atop the American League West at the moment, and has allowed them to build momentum at home with a 10-3 record in Arlington to begin the 2025 campaign. The pitching from this staff has been absolutely outstanding, and they have managed to do so without Cody Bradford, Jon Gray, Josh Sborz, and, for a short time, Jack Leiter, all of whom have landed on the injured list at various points this season or ahead of Opening Day. The Rangers currently sit No. 4 in the league in ERA (3.23), No. 1 in walks allowed (only 53), No. 1 in WHIP (1.05) and No. 4 in batting average allowed (.212).

| 3/26/25 | In the era of big velocities, some pitchers are still finding other ways to succeed. Texas Rangers left-hander Cody Bradford says he realized early in his development that he probably wouldn’t ever possess the type of fastball that causes scouts to take a second look at their radar guns. It hasn’t stopped him from finding a home in the majors, even in an era focused on pushing velocities higher and higher. Bradford’s part of a small fraternity of pitchers who have bucked recent trends by maintaining successful careers without throwing particularly hard. The club includes Pittsburgh's Bailey Falter, Cleveland's Ben Lively and Cincinnati reliever Brent Suter among others. Source: https://www.chron.com/sports/article/in-the-era-of... |

| 3/17/25 | Texas Rangers roster projection, 3.0: There's work to do as Camp Surprise winds down. A lot can happen in a week. As soon as the new projections hit the internet, Rangers pitchers started dropping like flies. By the weekend the Rangers were down two starters — Cody Bradford and Jon Gray — for an extended period. It throws a big wrench into roster construction that extends beyond just the starting rotation. Source: https://www.dallasnews.com/sports/rangers/2025/03/... |
| 3/16/25 | Jack Leiter, Kumar Rocker should be fix for Texas Rangers' pitching jam, but aren't yet. The solution to the Rangers' pitching jam should be easy and obvious. While Cody Bradford and Jon Gray are out, however long that may be, the answer should be to plug in Jack Leiter and Kumar Rocker into the starting rotation. With a week left in Arizona, the Rangers have been positively effusive about Patrick Murphy, who spent last season as a reliever in Japan, and Adrian Houser, whose ERA over the last three seasons (4.76) is one of the 20 highest in baseball among the 140 with at least 250 innings in that span.

| 2/19/25 | Texas Rangers Among MLB Teams Targeting Veteran Free-Agent Starter. The Texas Rangers have eight candidates for their five-man starting rotation, but there one thing the candidates are lacking — a veteran left-hander. In fact, Texas has just one left-handed among its eight starting candidates and that's Cody Bradford, who missed a good portion of last season with an injury. The Rangers may be looking to bring in more competition, as Francys Romero reported that they are one of three teams that are expressing interest in veteran left-hander Jose Quintana. Romero also reported that the New York Mets — who employed Quintana for the last two seasons — and the San Diego Padres are targeting the 36-year-old and that interest could pick up fast.

| 2/13/25 | Cody Bradford will contribute to Texas Rangers. It's up to Bruce Bochy to sort out how. Cody Bradford may not yet have a role on the Rangers' pitching staff, but it certainly sounds like he goes to camp with a role on the team. With Jacob deGrom, Nathan Eovaldi, Jon Gray, Tyler Mahle, Kumar Rocker and Bradford, the Rangers may have to whittle down one starter in a month.
