Corey Seager, the Texas Rangers' shortstop, has reported a successful offseason as he recovers from a sports hernia surgery. Seager, who missed the last three weeks of the previous season due to the injury, is optimistic about being ready for the start of spring training. The 30-year-old had a strong performance last season, earning an All-Star nod and being named Texas' Player of the Year. Seager expressed excitement about the team's offseason moves, especially the signing of former Dodgers teammate Joc Pederson, whom he believes will bring energy and camaraderie to the clubhouse.
This offseason, the Rangers were aggressive in free agency, investing more than $100 million to improve their roster. They retained key players like Nathan Eovaldi, while also bringing in new talents such as catcher Kyle Higashioka and first baseman Jake Burger. Seager's enthusiasm for Pederson's addition is notable, as he reached out to him during the recruitment process, emphasizing the importance of teammates who can keep the atmosphere light even in serious times.
