| 2/18/25 | Texas Rangers Claim High Spot in MLB Insider's Spring Training Power Ranking. One of the most disappointing teams in baseball during the 2024 season was the Texas Rangers.

| 1/26/25 | Texas Rangers Seen As Suitor for All-Star Slugger in Free Agency Next Year. The Texas Rangers have been lauded for the work they have done with their roster this offseason. While there are still some parts of the roster that could use a little bit of help, such as the back of the bullpen, they have done enough work to put them in the driver's seat in the American League West. One of the things they did well was upgrade the home run potential in their lineup. Jake Burger, who hit 29 home runs last season with the Miami Marlins and 34 the previous year with the Chicago White Sox and Marlins, will provide a boost in the power department over Nathaniel Lowe, who was traded to the Washington Nationals in exchange for relief pitcher Robert Garcia.

| 12/30/24 | Rangers resolutions: What Texas needs to do to make 2025 a success. As 2024 draws to a close, the Texas Rangers are turning their backs on a disappointing season of baseball and looking forward to the prospect of returning to some postseason play.
