Josh Smith Breakout

In 2023, the Texas Rangers slugged their way to the inaugural team AL Silver Slugger award, as well as the first World Series title in franchise history. Just about every player had a career year, except for Josh Smith, who was still trying to find his footing in the majors. Smith was acquired in a trade deadline deal alongside Ezequiel Duran, Glen Otto, and Trevor Hauver for Joey Gallo back in 2021. At that point in the minors, the lowest OPS he had was .928 in 2019, thanks to his great appro

What Has Every Ranger Improved On the Most?

Every team does their best to have a great player development system in the minors. While it’s great for an organization to have a farm system that can develop players, all of that is for naught if a player can’t continue their development in the major leagues.          I’ll be looking at what every player on the roster has improved upon most since getting to the Rangers.

Foscue will almost certainly make the team out of camp and Langford will have to prove more that he deserves to make the team.

4 Rangers Needing to Prove Themselves in 2024

With opening day right around the corner, the Rangers have more depth on their roster than they have had in years. In previous years players were able to prove themselves with very little pressure on them as the team had been in a much different situation. Coming off their fist World Series win in franchise history, the expectations are significantly higher than ever before. With the expectations so high these four players will try to prove themselves and cement their roster spots for all of 202

5 Rangers Needing Extensions

Coming off of their first World Series win in franchise history, the Rangers went into the winter meetings hoping to leave with some of the big fish in free agency. Instead, they left with Kirby Yates, a 36-year-old reliever who had a 3.28 ERA with the Braves in 2023. Good news for the club though, most of their World Series team is still under contract. I will be going over some of those players that are potentially deserving of a contract extension. 1. Evan Carter Carter began the season in
