The Texas Rangers’ 2025 season will be a telling one for the franchise’s future. After winning the World Series in 2023, the Rangers failed to make the playoffs in 2024, becoming the third team in the last six years to miss the playoffs after winning the championship.

2024 Record: 78-84

General Manager: Chris Young (1st Season)

Manager: Bruce Bochey (3rd Season)

Roster Outlook

The Rangers’ front office wasted no time retooling their roster, ensuring they remain a powerhouse in the American League. The biggest offseason storyline was retaining their star talent while adding depth. With Corey Seager and Marcus Semien anchoring the infield, and Adolis García providing power in the lineup, the offensive firepower remains intact. Young slugger Evan Carter is expected to take another step forward, and the team will be looking for continued development from Josh Jung and Wyatt Langford.

On the pitching side, the rotation remains formidable despite some question marks. The Rangers will rely on a healthy Jacob deGrom, who will be returning from Tommy John surgery, alongside Nathan Eovaldi, and Jon Gray. The addition of another reliable arm in free agency could bolster a unit that proved crucial in their title run. In the bullpen, Texas strengthened its relief corps, ensuring they have the late-inning depth to close out games.

Questions?

Can they stay healthy? Injuries to the starting rotation were a concern last year, and the same remains true for 2025.

Will the bullpen hold up? Relief pitching is always a key factor in October, and the Rangers will need consistency from their back-end arms.

Season Outlook & Prediction
The Rangers have all the pieces to make another playoff run and the AL West is shaping up to be wide open. The Houston Astros lost Kyle Tucker and Alex Bregman, and the Seattle Mariners still have all sorts of Offensive questions and the Angles and Athletics are struggling in their efforts to rebuild. If Texas can stay healthy and get solid production from their pitching staff, another playoff run is well within reach.

Prediction: 85-77 AL West Champions
