The 2024 season was a challenging one for the Texas Rangers, culminating in their elimination from postseason contention by September 20. Following their World Series victory the prior year, they experienced a stark decline, marking them as the first team since the 2014 Red Sox to achieve a losing record the year after a championship.
Despite the struggles, relievers Kirby Yates and David Robertson stood out, providing stability in late innings. However, key offensive players like Corey Seager and Marcus Semien experienced setbacks. Young talents Josh Jung and Evan Carter also fell short of expectations, highlighting the team's need for growth ahead of the 2025 season.
Moving into the offseason, the focus will be on rebuilding, especially within the pitching rotation, with free agency looming for several veterans. The Rangers need to reinvigorate their roster while relying on both experienced players and promising prospects to bounce back and aim for a successful 2025.
