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.
