The Texas Rangers are gearing up for the upcoming free agency period, focusing on enhancing their pitching staff. With potential departures of Nathan Eovaldi and Andrew Heaney, the team is eyeing left-handed starters to bolster their rotation.
Top targets include Blake Snell and Max Fried, both of whom are expected to command hefty contracts. However, the Rangers face financial constraints with a projected payroll already nearing the competitive balance tax threshold.
Additionally, the team is considering Japanese phenom Rōki Sasaki, who could be a game-changer if posted. Other options include Yusei Kikuchi and the possibility of re-signing Heaney, while they also evaluate lower-tier veterans and free agents.
