The Texas Rangers made significant moves by trading first baseman Nathaniel Lowe and signing veteran outfielder Joc Pederson to a two-year contract worth $37 million, which includes an opt-out after the first year.

Pederson, a seasoned player with a history of success, will enhance an already formidable lineup that includes stars like Marcus Semien and Corey Seager. The Rangers, coming off a World Series win, aim to rebound from a lackluster 2024 season, especially with the potential return of Jacob deGrom.
