4/25/25	Bochy reflects on Giants memories with Posey, Crawford in return. As he returned to face the Giants in San Francisco on Friday, Bruce Bochy was in a tie for first place in the American League West, but he had a lot on his mind. The Texas Rangers have underperformed at the plate, led by familiar face Joc Pederson, who somehow has zero RBI through 21 appearances. On Thursday, they got walked off in Sacramento by the Athletics, and a day after that gut punch, Bochy began his media session by giving a lengthy update on promising young starter Kumar Rocker, who just went on the IL with a shoulder injury. The Rangers have a lot to sort out, but Bochy is thrilled he's doing it in San Francisco this weekend. Source: https://www.nbcsportsbayarea.com/mlb/san-francisco...

4/22/25	Rangers' Joc Pederson in worse hitless drought than you could ever imagine. Joc Pederson is in the worst slump possible. The once-proud MLB slugger is now playing for the Texas Rangers, and he's entirely unable to find himself even a solitary hit. You truly couldn't guess how long Pederson's hitless drought it. There's no way it could be this lengthy. Just how many at bats has Pederson gone without a hit? Forty. Yep, he's 0 for his last 40. That's unfathomable. This is a guy with 890 major league hits. He hit .273 last year. This year, it's down to .052 and dropping. Follow The Sporting News on WhatsApp Pederson could go 20 for his next 40 and would still be batting below his career average with a .234 just below his .238. It's like the hitting version of the yips. Pederson Source: https://www.sportingnews.com/us/mlb/texas-rangers/...
4/20/25	Texas Rangers' Struggling Slugger Off to Incredibly Bad Start at Plate. The Texas Rangers are off to a pretty good start to their 2025 campaign. Despite the team's hot start though, there is one hitter in the lineup that has gotten off to an absolutely awful start at the plate. Joc Pederson, who signed a two-year $37 million deal with the Rangers this past offseason, was brought on by the Texas front office to provide some much needed pop in a lineup that struggled in that department last season. Unfortunately for the Rangers, their new addition hasn't exactly lit it up at the plate so far. Source: https://www.si.com/mlb/rangers/news/texas-rangers-...
4/16/25	Multiple Teams Listed as Potential Candidates for Former Texas Rangers Reliever. With the Texas Rangers off to a strong start to the season, the franchise is hopeful of continuing their winning ways throughout the year. In 2024, the Rangers were never able to get off the ground after winning the World Series the campaign prior. While the additions of Joc Pederson and Jake Burger were the notable ones to the lineup, the bullpen also saw a ton of changes. Due to some payroll constraints and trying to be mindful of the luxury tax, the Rangers opted to let go of a couple of key members of the bullpen.

4/11/25	Mired in career-worst start, Texas Rangers' Joc Pederson looks for freedom at the plate. This is how bad Joc Pederson's start has been: Not even the miracle of the torpedo bat provided help. The Rangers designated hitter began Friday mired in the worst start of his career. It's not the equipment, Pederson said. “I've not had a lot of quality at-bats,” Pederson said Friday.

4/06/25	What To Make of Texas Rangers Offensive Struggles Through Nine Games. The Texas Rangers are off to a strong start in terms of their record, opening the year at 7-2 through nine games. Through nine games, the Rangers rank No. 29 in batting average as a team across the MLB (.190), No. 29 in OBP (.267), tied for No. 21 in RBI (29), and are tied for No. 25 in OPS (.613). Intriguingly enough though, they have been prolific when it comes to hitting home runs, as they are tied for No. 8 in the league there with 11 of them. When looking through the lineup, the most notable struggles have been experienced by Joc Pederson, Corey Seager, and Marcus Semien. Source: https://www.si.com/mlb/rangers/news/what-to-make-o...
3/24/25	2025 MLB season predictions: Will the Texas Rangers bounce back from a disappointing 2024?. The team added Joc Pederson and Jake Burger to a lineup that already had big power from stars Corey Seager and Marcus Semien. Texas will also be getting Wyatt Langford, Josh Jung and Adolis Garcia back to full health, making for an intimidating lineup top to bottom.

3/21/25	Bruce Bochy gets brutally honest on Rangers' secret weapon. The Texas Rangers are betting big on a bounce-back year offensively, and the centerpiece of that revival could be their newest designated hitter, Joc Pederson. After a dismal showing at DH in 2024, the Rangers are counting on Pederson to help bring some much-needed pop back to the lineup — and manager Bruce Bochy isn't sugarcoating how critical his presence will be. “We were really missing that last year, no doubt,” Bochy said. “We just didn't get the production that we needed from a DH spot.” Source: https://clutchpoints.com/mlb/texas-rangers/bruce-b...
3/12/25	3 Texas Rangers observations: Adolis García return, a relief medley and Joc Pederson slams. SURPRISE, Ariz. — Next to the first base side dugout sat a 69-year-old manager who left retirement in the rearview mirror two years ago. Next to the third base side dugout sat a 65-year-old manager who chose to do the same this year. Hey, it's hard to stay away from the Cactus League. Texas Rangers manager Bruce Bochy and Cincinnati Reds manager Terry Francona — the league's second- and sixth-oldest skippers — faced off today in the Rangers' 4-3 win vs. the Reds at Surprise Stadium. As a treat to both, the game ended in 2:07, a tad quicker than the Rangers' drawn-out 3:15 affair on Tuesday. Here are three observations from the midweek showdown.

With spring training underway, the Texas Rangers are excited to get back on the field to bounce back from a frustrating campaign in 2024. After winning the World Series in 2023, the Rangers were never able to get off the ground last year.

2/24/25	Spring training roundup: Rangers hammer White Sox with 9-run first. Josh Smith went 2-for-3 with an RBI and two runs, and Joc Pederson ended a nine-run outburst in the first inning with a three-run homer to left center as the visiting Texas Rangers beat the Chicago White Sox 11-3 in spring training action Monday in Phoenix. Adolis Garcia singled home Smith for the first run of the game, and after an RBI sacrifice fly and a bases-loaded walk, Jonathan Ornelas and Smith hit run-scoring singles to get on base for Pederson's shot.

2/17/25	Joc Pederson sidelined at Texas Rangers camp with flu. With a current flu outbreak plaguing the country, the Texas Rangers are trying to ensure that a pandemic doesn't break out in their own clubhouse. Joc Pederson was absent from camp on Monday with the flu, the second player this spring to deal with the virus. Chris Martin also had it after arriving in Arizona. Rangers manager Bruce Bochy, who dealt with the flu in January, said Pederson will miss a couple of days to make sure he is clear of the virus before returning.

2/07/25	Projection Systems Disagree on How Texas Rangers Will Perform This Season. The Texas Rangers were on top of the world after winning the final MLB game of the 2023 season, bringing home the franchise's first World Series Championship. Things came crashing down in 2024 with the Rangers playing to only a 78-84 record, missing out on the playoffs completely. It has been a somewhat active winter in Arlington with the additions of Joc Pederson and Jake Burger for the offense, while adding a plethora of arms in the bullpen. Projection systems have still had a hard time coming to an agreement for how this club will fare, however, with PECOTA giving Texas a 76.5% chance of making the playoffs and Fangraphs putting their chances at only 59%.

1/23/25	Rangers listed as 'likely' landing spot for $30 million ex-Phillies closer. The Texas Rangers endured a disappointing 2024 season, going 78-84 and missing the postseason on the heels of their first World Series title in 2023. This offseason, they have made a few key moves, with their biggest one being the addition of Joc Pederson. Fortunately, Kerry Miller of Bleacher Report believes Texas could be a feasible landing spot for All-Star closer Carlos Estevez. Last year, Texas had Jose Leclerc and Kirby Yates at the back end of their bullpen. Source: https://www.sportingnews.com/us/mlb/texas-rangers/...
1/10/25	Mets tried and failed to sign $37 million 2-time All-Star who joined Rangers. The New York Mets have had a busy offseason. According to the New York Post's Jon Heyman, the Mets tried to sign Joc Pederson before he eventually joined the Texas Rangers on a two-year, $37 million deal. "The Mets were willing to go two years for Joc Pederson (but not the $37M he got from Texas) and looked at Teoscar Hernandez in case the Dodgers deal everyone expected fell through (he got $66M, $58.1M after deferred monies are calculated, over three)," wrote Heyman.

1/10/25	Chris Young details Texas Rangers' win-now mentality, ideas for roles in new-look bullpen. Texas Rangers president of baseball operations Chris Young joined Foul Territory for an interview to discuss the team's offseason moves, his vision for 2025, roles in the new-look bullpen and what the Rangers' goals are for 2025. What did you think of Joc Pederson declaring the end of the Astros' “nice little run” at his introductory press conference? Chris Young: Well, I appreciate Joc's confidence, I love that he wanted to be a Ranger and that he believes in this team and what we can accomplish.
