The Texas Rangers went over the MLB luxury tax by just $380,000, but the consequences are significant. This marks the third straight year the Rangers have exceeded the tax and the second straight year they missed the playoffs, putting the organization in a difficult financial position. Owner Ray Davis has made it clear the team does not want to exceed the threshold again and instead plans to reset the penalty rate from 50 percent down to 20 percent. We break down how the Rangers got here, why the decision is so frustrating for fans, and what this financial reset means for the roster moving forward.
The Texas Rangers officially introduced their new coaching staff, and the foundation for the upcoming season is already being built. While much of the attention has been on improving the offense, the coaching staff may be the most important piece in returning the Rangers to form. Communication, collaboration, and clarity are at the center of the new approach as the coaches begin planning, teaching, and learning together. With spring training approaching, the groundwork for a successful season is being set now.
The Texas Rangers coaching staff will look very different this season, and the organization believes that change is exactly what the team needed. After the results of the past two years, the front office turned over much of the staff in hopes of resetting the culture and improving performance. Today the new coaches met with the media to outline their collective plan to get the most out of the roster. From the top down, there is a strong belief that the talent is already in place. Now it is time to coach them up.
The Texas Rangers are operating with a smaller budget this offseason, but Chris Young believes the team can still compete for a playoff spot. The bullpen was one of the best units in baseball last season, even though two key relievers have already signed elsewhere. The Rangers are trying to keep the core together, and signing Chris Martin is a clear step in that direction. It also appears there may be a new closer in town. We break down the bullpen outlook, the budget reality, and what still needs to happen as the offseason continues to move forward.
Tom Grieve has been part of the Texas Rangers organization since 1970, back when the franchise still called Washington DC home. Drafted by the club and connected to it for more than five decades as a player, executive, and broadcaster, Tom Grieve joins the show to talk Rangers baseball, memories from the early days, and how the organization has evolved over the years. This is a special holiday conversation filled with insight, history, and stories you will not want to miss from one of the true constants in Rangers history.
The Texas Rangers are no strangers to huge moves. This off season alone they have parted ways with a Hall of Fame manager, non-tendered two World Series heroes and traded another. But working to the margins has begun. The Rangers front office has proven good at this, but is it enough to make the team better?
The Texas Rangers continue reshaping the roster by signing catcher Danny Jansen and adding relievers Tyler Alexander and Alexis Diaz. The moves address two major needs as the Rangers look to stabilize the catching situation and deepen the bullpen. What does Jansen bring behind the plate and how do Alexander and Diaz fit into the pitching staff? We break down each signing, their roles, and what these moves say about the Rangers offseason plan going forward.
The Texas Rangers have a long holiday wish list this offseason, but there might be an easy way to save money and check off a major need. Instead of shopping for bargain starters, the Rangers already have a pitcher in-house who has proven he can handle the job. So why not commit to him now and redirect resources elsewhere? We also look at the infield depth behind Josh Smith and how the roster puzzle comes together for 2025. There are always needs, and this year is no different.
The MLB Winter Meetings are in the books, and the Texas Rangers still have plenty of work ahead. From missing out on major free-agent moves to keeping an eye on trade possibilities, the front office now shifts into decision-making mode. What were the big takeaways from the Meetings, and what happens next as the Rangers try to upgrade the roster for 2025? We break down the conversations, the needs, and the realistic next steps.
The Texas Rangers say they will always listen to any trade scenario, and that reportedly included a call from the Boston Red Sox about Corey Seager. Could the Rangers actually consider moving their superstar shortstop, or is this just offseason noise?
We also break down the Rule 5 Draft and whether the Rangers added anyone who could impact the roster next season. From internal depth options to long-term planning, here is what the front office is doing and what it really means.
It is the most wonderful time of the year for MLB free agents, especially the stars who headline the market. The Texas Rangers are not expected to chase the highest-priced names, but they are still shopping as the Winter Meetings continue. The front office is searching for the right pieces to brighten the upcoming season and fill key roster needs without overspending. What options make sense and how active will the Rangers be? We break it all down.
Day one of the MLB Winter Meetings brings clarity for the Texas Rangers. A blockbuster trade is already in the books, so this week may not be defined by big moves, but the team still has several needs to address. New manager Skip Schumaker joins the show to share his priorities and explain how he wants the roster to take shape. We also reflect on the passing of former team owner Tom Hicks, a figure who leaves behind a complicated and mixed legacy.
As Brandon Nimmo was introduced at Globe Life Field, the Texas Rangers laid out their plan for the rest of the offseason. The top priority is finding a catcher, followed by rebuilding the bullpen and possibly adding another starter. But one surprise came from the front office. After trading their All-Star second baseman, the Rangers are leaning toward filling the position with an internal option. We break down the candidates, why the team believes this can work, and what it means for the rest of the offseason plan.
The MLB Winter Meetings are the marquee event of the offseason and the Texas Rangers enter with major needs and major momentum. After already making a blockbuster trade with the New York Mets, the Rangers are expected to stay aggressive as they look to fill several roster holes. What moves are most likely? Who are the top targets? And could another big headline be coming? We break down what to expect from the Rangers as the action heats up at the Winter Meetings.
The Texas Rangers have several roster holes heading into the season, but can any of those spots be filled from within the organization? The answer is complicated. The farm system has talent, but most of the top prospects are either too young, not ready, do not fit the positions of need. We talk about why the Rangers may have to rely on external additions instead of internal options.
The Texas Rangers look nothing like the 2023 championship team. Only seven players remain from that roster and the front office has pushed through a complete overhaul. So what does this version of the Rangers look like and can they win again? Chris Young believes they can, and he sold that vision to Brandon Nimmo. But with the offense struggling for two straight seasons, is a relapse coming or is a reset exactly what the team needed? We break down the new roster, the expectations, and how different this year could be.
The MLB Winter Meetings are only one week away and the Texas Rangers still have plenty of work to do. After an active start to the offseason, the front office is now focused on finding the right players at the right price. We lay out the full offseason checklist, identify the most realistic targets, and break down how the Rangers can keep improving the roster without going over budget. Here is what to expect as the next wave of moves approaches.
The Texas Rangers shocked the baseball world and stunned New York Mets fans by trading for Brandon Nimmo. This move marks a major step in remaking the roster, but it is only the beginning. What comes next for the Rangers front office? They still need a catcher, multiple pitchers, and help at second base. RSN reporter Jared Sandler joins the show to break down the Nimmo deal, the next wave of moves, and how the Rangers plan to reshape the roster for 2026.

It was a stunning weekend for the Texas Rangers. The club moved on from four key players who helped win the 2023 World Series. The latest move sent Marcus Semien to the New York Mets for fan favorite Brandon Nimmo. Big questions follow. Where does Nimmo fit, and who takes over at second base?
