On this episode of Just Wondering, Norm Hitzges sits down with longtime Texas Rangers beat reporter Evan Grant to examine one of the most pivotal offseasons the franchise has faced in years. With Bruce Bochy and Mike Maddox gone, Skip Schumacher stepping in, and payroll reductions looming, the Rangers must decide whether they are still building to contend—or preparing to reset. Evan offers candid insight into the front office's thinking, the financial squeeze tied to TV revenue losses, and what roster changes may look like—from Adolis García and Jonah Heim, to a potential move involving Marcus Semien, Corey Seager, or even Jacob deGrom. They also tackle whether the Rangers' offensive philosophy has stalled, how Josh Jung and Jake Burger fit into the new approach, and whether the organization can finally develop its own pitching. Along the way: cat diplomacy, rescue dogs, and a little baseball soul-searching. A thoughtful and revealing conversation for any Rangers fan wondering what comes next.   Chapters 00:00:00 – Norm Sets the Stage: GM Meetings, Offseason Uncertainty 00:00:33 – Title Sponsor: Fluent Financial 00:01:35 – Introducing Evan Grant: Perspective from Decades on the Rangers Beat 00:02:32 – Bruce Bochy's Exit: Mutual Decision or Push Out the Door? 00:03:54 – The Loss of Mike Maddox and What “Respect” Means in Baseball 00:06:28 – Will Coaching Changes Actually Hurt the 2026 Team? 00:07:57 – The Real Issue: Payroll Cuts and Financial Restraints 00:09:49 – TV Revenue Decline and Attendance Drop: The Business Side 00:10:57 – Who Goes?

SportsDay Insiders Kevin Sherrington, Evan Grant and Calvin Watkins discuss [00:50] the Cowboys' loss to the Broncos, which Evan says doesn't qualify as a disaster because it wasn't a surprise. Here's a surprise: If Jerry Jones waves the white flag and trades his most marketable asset, George Pickens. [25:59] The guys give their take. Texas A&M picked up another road win against a ranked team with an impressive performance against LSU, getting the Tigers' coach fired in the process. [56:05] Can the Aggies win their first national title in nearly 90 years? Shawn McFarland joins the group to discuss that and other college football as well as an 18-inning thriller in Game 3.

[20:00] Mike Curtis joins Kevin and Evan to give a preview of the Mavs' opener Wednesday against San Antonio. Cooper Flagg has made an early impression, but will he, Anthony Davis and the defense be enough to hold things together until Kyrie Irving returns?

SportsDay Insiders Kevin Sherrington, Evan Grant and Calvin Watkins analyze [00:40] a historically bad Cowboys' defense and what it portends for Matt Eberflus, the defensive coordinator, as well as Brian Schottenheimer. Is it the scheme? The players? Both? How bad is it when Rico Dowdle calls out the Cowboys, and they not only don't respond, they don't even take offense? [32:33] The Skip Schumaker era will probably be different from Bruce Bochy's in terms of communication, but it would be better if it involves better players. Does the Rangers' director of amateur scouting escape blame for the farm system's inability to deliver position players? [51:29] And has there ever been a better time for college football in Texas, where four teams are still in the running for three conference titles at the midpoint? Learn more about your ad choices.

SportsDay Insiders Kevin Sherrington, Evan Grant and Joe Hoyt try [00:19] to put the Cowboys' win over the Jets into perspective. On one hand, it was the Jets, a truly bad team. On the other, Chicago isn't great, either, and the Bears walked all over the Cowboys. Only a couple weeks after saying they'd be lucky to win five games, Joe now says his glass is “half-full,” if only because the offense is so good and the defense couldn't be any worse than it was the first three games. Kevin and Evan discuss [25:30] what difference Skip Schumaker can make and rank the biggest needs. (Hint: It's not pitching). And [51:35] if the Sooners' John Mateer really is back for Texas-OU, the Longhorns could have a long afternoon at the Cotton Bowl. Learn more about your ad choices.

The guys also try to figure out why Jerry Jones refuses to negotiate with Micah Parsons' agent, David Mulugheta, and give their best guess when something gets done.
