The Texas Rangers are now a potential contender for Japanese pitching star Roki Sasaki, but the team's current pitching depth raises questions about this pursuit. MLB analyst Mike Petriello ranks the Rangers sixth out of seven teams in need of Sasaki’s exceptional skills, primarily because their rotation is already filled with talent.

The Rangers boast a mix of veterans like Nathan Eovaldi and Jacob deGrom alongside promising young arms, including Jon Gray and Kumar Rocker. This solid roster complicates Sasaki's fit, potentially hindering the development of existing players.

Nathan Eovaldi is set to return to the Texas Rangers on a three-year, $75 million deal. The 34-year-old pitcher enjoyed a successful stint with the team, achieving 24 wins, nearly 300 strikeouts, and a World Series title. Despite his impressive performance, Eovaldi's history of injuries raises concerns.

The Rangers' rotation for the upcoming season could feature Eovaldi alongside Jacob deGrom, Cody Bradford, Jon Gray, and Tyler Mahle, creating a mix of risk and potential upside.
