Newberg Report "In Their Footsteps" Column: The right-handed set-up man
The 15th installment of my weekly column for MLB.com, “In Their Footsteps,” has been posted on the official Rangers website, www.texasrangers.com. This week’s edition focuses on the right-handed set-up man – my favorite from Rangers franchise history and who from the current system might best project to fill that roster spot in the future.

She held out for a $500 signing bonus
The Rangers wouldn’t go above $495.
The rest is history.
