After a breakdown of the first week of exhibitions, Team Mexico's manager for the WBC and former Ranger Benji Gil joins the guys to talk about his club, which includes Rangers outfielder Alejandro Osuna and Robert Garcia. Benji was also Osuna's manager in winter ball and raves about him. Plus, what Osuna can learn from two weeks around Randy Arozarena, Jarren Duran and Alek Thomas. Benji discusses the potential magnitude of Team Mexico winning the tournament. And, of course, John has to ask him about twice losing his job to Kevin Elster. Finally, the guys reminisce about training in Port Charlotte, Fla., and the time the racing pests took an unexpected tumble.

SportsDay Insiders Kevin Sherrington, Evan Grant and Joe Hoyt analyze the Cowboys' signing of Javonte Williams and what's next for George Pickens. Joe also tells us how many new defensive starters he thinks Christian Parker needs. (Hint: It's a lot). How many can they get in the draft? Should they trade up or down? The guys discuss it all. Evan tells us that Josh Jung is off to a nice start in camp, and he needs it. This is a pivotal year for Jung. And if Wyatt Langford posts a big year, the Rangers will pay for it. More than they'd like, probably.

John and Evan break down the start of camp (at least before Sebastian Walcott got hurt) before former Rangers GM Doug Melvin joins the show. With this being the 30th anniversary of the Rangers' first playoff team, the fellas will occasionally look back at key members from that team -- and Melvin put together an incredibly durable pitching staff. He also revisits some of the trades he was most proud of and some he wasn't. And then, John regales with tales of the Rangers' first spring training site, a high school baseball field in Pompano Beach, Fla., where Pete Incaviglia once hit a baseball straight through the wooden fence.
