The Texas Rangers gave the Commissioner's Trophy a champagne shower after winning the 2023 World Series.
It took 52 seasons in Arlington, and more bumps in the road than could be counted, but the Texas Rangers finally have a championship season to call their own.
Nathaniel Lowe - The 2022 Silver Slugger winner at first base after being one of the holdovers from the rebuilding era.Corey Seager - An all-world shortstop who would put together a MVP-caliber season after a subdued first year in Texas. Even though there were moments where the offense slumped, as a whole, the Semien and Seager-led offense was a triumphant success, one befitting of a franchise that has been known to slug. Taveras established himself. Duran had a great first half to pick up for Seager when he was injured early. Jung more than proved his worth at the plate and in the field, posting a .266/.315/.467 slash line as a rookie and cementing himself as the regular 5th place hitter.
From there, Dunning was called on to fill a very sizable void left by baseball’s most impressive pitcher, as deGrom went under the knife and saw his season end. The rest of the way, as a starter, Dunning posted a 10-7 record with a 3.55 ERA. For a pitcher who started the season in the bullpen, and had very low expectations of being a starter, Dunning proved to be a pitching savior. And indeed, Dunning ended the year leading the team with 172 ⅔ innings pitched.
Overall, with 33 Blown Saves, the 2023 Rangers became the only team in history to make the postseason with more blown saves than converted saves . If there was one aspect of the team that caused the most consternation for their seemingly endless ability to take wins off the board, it was definitely the bullpen.
