Lewis, 37, played big roles in 2010 and 2011, helping the Texas Rangers reach the World Series twice. Unfortunately, the Rangers came up short both times. Regardless, Lewis is going down as one of the best pitchers in this club’s history. Lewis is the first Texas Rangers’ pitcher to win a World Series game. That’s something Rangers fans will never forget.

Despite battling through numerous injuries in his later years, he had a goal to earn the respect of the fans. And he did. He did his best for the Rangers organization and the fans.

Lewis has yet to officially announce his retirement from professional baseball. Now that he has accepted a position in the front office, it’s clear that he’s no longer an official active competitor. We can expect an official announcement soon.

The Rangers have made several changes to their team in the last few days. The Rangers did have a good 2017 season. They’re undergoing a process of rebuilding their team.
