What is the latest on the division-rival Texas Rangers?
The Seattle Mariners are apparently getting some good signals early on in this offseason from one of their division rivals.
According to Evan Grant of the Dallas Morning News, the Texas Rangers are looking to stay under the Competitive Balance Tax threshold of $241 million next season. The Rangers won the World Series because of a massive spending spree a few years ago and apparently don't want to be penalized further by going back over the tax.. It means they’ll have precious little to spend on filling a bunch of holes on the roster.
Fifty million is a decent amount of money to make improvements, but the Rangers could need multiple new starting pitchers and could need to replace almost half their bullpen. Furthermore, the offense slumped in 2024, but perhaps some of those upgrades can be made by having a healthy Evan Carter and a second-year uptick from Wyatt Langford., they are constantly dealing with their own financial issues and will work to overcome them this offseason as well.
