Rangers President Young Blames Lack of 'Grit' and Age for Third Straight Losing Season

Texas Rangers president of baseball operations Chris Young admitted the team needs to become younger and more athletic after finishing 80-82 for the third consecutive sub-.500 season. Young cited poor road performance and injuries to key stars as primary reasons for missing the playoffs, despite the team holding a division lead late in the season. Financial constraints and no-trade clauses on Jacob deGrom and Corey Seager limit immediate roster flexibility.

DeGrom Declines Waiver, Rangers Stand Pat on Trade Talks

Texas ace Jacob deGrom declined to waive his no-trade clause, effectively keeping him with the Rangers as trade discussions cooled. Texas leaned against selling, though they explored moves involving players like Seager and Eovaldi and even swung a minor trade for Adam Macko. Seager has only partial no-trade protection, while deGrom’s remaining $37M next year on a five-year, $185M deal and his injury history make any deal complex. A rumored Braves interest did not result in a deal.

One Game, Big Stakes: Rangers' Trade Deadline Plans Hinge on Sunday

The Texas Rangers sit 0.5 games back in the AL wild-card race and 1.5 out in the AL West with about 45% playoff odds as they head into a decisive series finale with the Astros. A win could keep the roster intact (and possibly add), while a loss might trigger a sizable sell‑off, potentially targeting expiring contracts like Joc Pederson and Jakob Junis. Core players such as Corey Seager and Jacob deGrom carry no-trade protections, Langford is viewed as untouchable, and injuries to Montgomery, Bradford, and Leiter along with payroll-cutting by owner Ray Davis shape the deadline approach.

Seager on Verge of Rehab as Rangers Plot Late-Season Push

Corey Seager is nearing a minor league rehab assignment after back inflammation sidelined him since late June, with live BP sessions planned as Texas weighs lineup depth ahead of the trade deadline. Jordan Montgomery appears close to a majors return after rehab outings, giving the Rangers another rotation option, while Cody Bradford continues to build up from elbow surgery with a couple more rehab starts likely. Together, the trio could bolster Texas’s playoff push as they evaluate pitching and offensive needs toward August.

Seager Dilemma Tests Rangers as Gray Becomes Deadline Favorite

As the MLB trade deadline approaches, the market is heating up: the Rangers may have to consider trading Corey Seager if they falter, despite his health and a massive contract that includes 10-5 rights after the season; Sonny Gray has drawn strong interest from the Atlanta Braves, among others, as rotation needs grow. Other clubs such as the Red Sox, Royals, Mariners, Guardians and Padres are weighing whether to sell or buy, with potential moves involving pitchers like Wacha, Lugo and Castillo, as well as depth pieces and prospects, making the coming weeks a multi-team, high-stakes scramble.

Rangers place Seager on 10-day IL with back inflammation

The Texas Rangers placed shortstop Corey Seager on the 10-day injured list (retroactive to May 15) with lower back inflammation, recalling Michael Helman. Seager is hitting .179/.286/.353 this season and underwent an MRI with a specialist visit; a return in about a week is possible. With Seager out and Josh Smith on the IL, Texas has used Ezequiel Durán at short and Justin Foscue at second, though Foscue is slumping in a small sample. The club may lean on Helman or other in-house options while Seager recovers.

Eovaldi Declines Option, Becomes Free Agent; Mets and Braves Interested

Nathan Eovaldi, a two-time All-Star pitcher, has become a free agent after declining a $20 million player option with the Texas Rangers, opting instead for a $2 million buyout. Eovaldi, who played a key role in the Rangers' 2023 World Series win, is still a target for re-signing by the team. Meanwhile, the Rangers have also declined a $6.5 million option for reliever Andrew Chafin, making him a free agent. Additionally, Corey Seager is recovering well from his second hernia surgery and is expected to resume normal offseason activities soon.

"Rangers' Corey Seager Undergoes Sports Hernia Surgery, Expected to Miss Most of Spring Training"

Texas Rangers' shortstop Corey Seager underwent sports hernia surgery after suffering the injury during the postseason, with the club hopeful for his return by Opening Day. Despite his strong performance in the playoffs, the issue didn't improve over the winter, leading to the surgical intervention. The Rangers are unlikely to add an extra infielder as a result and will rely on incumbent players to cover the position if Seager misses any time. Injuries and recoveries will be a key storyline for the defending champions in 2024, with Max Scherzer, Jacob deGrom, and Tyler Mahle also facing recovery timelines.

The team's general manager is hopeful that Seager will be ready by opening day, but no hard timeline has been set. The hernia issue arose during the postseason but did not impact Seager's play as the Rangers won the World Series. Seager's impressive performance included hitting .318 with six homers, 12 RBI, and 15 walks in 17 postseason games.
