The Texas Rangers meet the LA Angels Monday as the AL West foes swing into a 4-game series in Southern California.

The Texas Rangers lost 4-1 against the San Diego Padres Sunday night at Petco Park and, in alignment with an all-too familiar and troublesome trend, failed to rally when faced with a deficit.

The Texas Rangers have, for the past two seasons, largely avoided spending prospect capital to make their Major League team better.
