Matthew Boyd made his first start of the spring and allowed a 2nd-inning run on a single by Sam Haggerty after Pete Crow-Armstrong lost a Tyler Wade fly ball in the high Arizona sky that dropped in for a double. Chicago evened the score on an RBI single by infield prospect Jefferson Rojas in the bottom of the frame.
It is an exciting time to be here and an exciting time to be involved at the club so I am delighted, I understand the position I am in, how much of a privilege it is to play here, the demands here and I am personally really happy and excited to know my future is here.
Yeah, look, I'm sure there will be further interest in Nicolas Raskin come the summer transfer window. He will just have one year left on his contract at Rangers and if there's no new deal agreed, Rangers might be forced into cashing in on Raskin. They won't want to risk him running down his contract and potentially leaving on a free transfer.
Talks over Ryan Naderi have stalled between Rangers and Hansa Rostock, with the German third-tier club unwilling to accept a 2.6m offer for the 22-year-old striker while they do not have a replacement - and believe they can sell him for more in the summer. (Florian Plettenberg on X), external Rangers have the scope to increase their offer for Naderi, who is keen on a move to Ibrox, should Rostock be willing to sell
With Carson Soucy being held out tonight for roster management reasons, the trade has been finalized. The Rangers are trading Soucy to the Islanders for a 3rd round pick in this year's draft. This was the expected return for Soucy given what we know about trade deadline rentals, and at least somewhat recoups the trade acquisition cost from last year's ill-advised trade at the deadline to acquire the defenseman. Carson Soucy was not very good with the Rangers. After the deadline he was a healthy scratch for a few games as he was simply that bad. This year he improved, but it always looked like he was skating in mud.

Rangers will head into the UEFA Europa League game against Ludogorets Razgrad on Thursday on the back of a 5-0 victory over Anna Athletic at Ibrox in the Scottish Cup. It came after a 2-0 victory over Aberdeen on the road in the Scottish Premiership, which followed a 2-0 win against the same opposition at home just three days earlier.
Rangers are keen on Motherwell winger Tawanda Maswanhise and have initiated preliminary discussions by sounding out the 24-year-old Zimbabwe international's agent. (TeamTalk), external Manager Branislav Fodrek admits Dunaksta Streda will be powerless to stop Rangers transfer target Damir Redzic, 22, from leaving the club for the right fee, while RB Salszburg and FC Copenhagen are also keen on the Hungary winger.

"I know that Feyenoord tried to sign him in the summer but ended up going for a different left-back. "Feyenoord are historically very good at recruitment. They tend to take a lot of top talents from Belgium and bring them into the Dutch league."
"We defended until the end and we got a clean sheet," Rohl told RangersTV. "This is the basis and if we do this again and again we will be in a fantastic way. Keep on the front foot, stay hungry, stay ambitious, and be humble in the right moments."
The Rangers have a matinee today in Boston as they look to repeat their Black Friday success at TD Garden. The Rangers won that contest 6-2 in what was, at the time, a sign of life from the Rangers as we hoped they could turn a corner. Of course that didn't happen, and now the Rangers are sinking fast. Boston was in a playoff spot earlier in the season, but they've fallen off as the better teams have picked it up.
Starting with the hosts, while Nuno Espírito Santo might have only arrived at the London Stadium a couple of months ago, the former Nottingham Forest boss already finds his position hanging by a thread. Rightfully coming under a huge amount of scrutiny over the weekend as they were blown away thanks to a 3-0 drumming away at a Wolves squad who sit rock-bottom of the table, the pressure on Santo's shoulders has now reached a boiling point.
