The Texas Rangers faced a challenging 2024 season, missing the playoffs due to injuries and underperformance. As they aim to reduce payroll under the competitive balance tax threshold, President of Baseball Operations Chris Young is tasked with addressing roster needs while managing costs.

Key players like Nathan Eovaldi and David Robertson have opted for free agency, leaving the Rangers with significant gaps, especially in pitching and the outfield. Decisions loom regarding Nathaniel Lowe's rising salary and the overall strategy for rebuilding the bullpen.
