The Major League phase of the Rule 5 draft concluded without the Texas Rangers making any selections or losing players. With 39 players on their 40-man roster, they opted to pass on the 10th overall pick, marking the first time since 2022 that none from their organization were chosen.

Additionally, the Rangers have acquired power-hitting first baseman/third baseman Jake Burger from the Miami Marlins, enhancing their roster as they prepare for the upcoming season.

The Texas Rangers made strategic moves ahead of the Rule 5 draft deadline, opting to protect pitchers Emiliano Teodo and Winston Santos, along with infielder Max Acosta, using their three available spots on the 40-man roster. They returned Carson Coleman to the New York Yankees after he missed the season due to elbow surgery.

Teodo and Santos, both promising young pitchers, are expected to compete for spots on the 2025 roster, while Acosta has shown signs of a comeback after struggling in previous seasons. The Rangers left some intriguing pitchers unprotected, which could lead to potential losses in the upcoming draft.

Tuesday marks National Reserve List Day in Major League Baseball, a critical deadline for teams like the Texas Rangers to decide which minor leaguers to protect on their 40-man roster. Players signed at 18 or younger must be added within five seasons, or they risk exposure in the Rule 5 draft.

The Rangers have lost pitchers in recent drafts and are keen to avoid that fate again. They have several promising prospects, including Emiliano Teodo and Winston Santos, who are likely to be added to the roster.
