Arbitration day has arrived for the Texas Rangers, and several key players are at the center of today’s decisions. Jake Burger, Josh Jung, Josh Smith, and Ezequiel Duran all have cases that will help shape the roster and payroll moving forward. Texas Rangers play-by-play announcer Dave Raymond joins the show to break down what arbitration day really means, how these decisions affect the clubhouse, and what they signal about the direction of the team. We also discuss whether new manager Skip Schumaker can change the culture inside the clubhouse and what still needs to happen this offseason to get the Rangers back on track in 2026.

The Texas Rangers offseason looks different than it has in years past and the changes keep coming. Fans will have fewer chances to meet the team this winter as the longtime Winter Caravan has been replaced by a new event called the Winter Carnival.

The 2026 Texas Rangers enter the season as one of the hardest teams in baseball to project. National MLB media are largely skeptical, the farm system is considered thin, and the major league roster has underachieved for two straight seasons. As a result, expectations around the team are unusually low. But is that assessment fair? And could low expectations actually benefit this roster? We break down why the Rangers are viewed as an enigma, what questions still surround the team, and whether this group is being underestimated heading into the season.

The Texas Rangers have gone through a busy offseason filled with change, even as MLB free agency has moved slowly. Working within a tighter budget, the front office still made several notable moves that could shape the 2026 season. The big question is whether those changes, such as the addition of Brandon Nimmo and Danny Jansen, will translate into better results on the field.

As the calendar flips to 2026, the Texas Rangers are turning the page after two straight seasons of underachieving. The offseason focus remains clear. Pitching. With two more arms coming off the market, the Rangers are still searching for answers as they prepare for the next MLB season. We break down who is still available, what direction the front office may take next, and how a new coaching staff and new plan could change the results on the field. Plus, we hand out New Year’s resolutions for key Rangers players and discuss whether baseball itself could be on the verge of significant change.

Texas Rangers legend Tom Grieve joins the show for a thoughtful and reflective conversation about his decades with the organization. Grieve shares what it was like carrying the responsibility of leading the Rangers as general manager, the lessons that came with the job, and how those experiences shaped his approach to baseball and leadership. He also reminisces about some of the most memorable players he worked with and watched develop, offering behind-the-scenes stories that highlight the human side of running a major league team. From difficult decisions to moments that made the journey worthwhile, this conversation focuses on perspective, growth, and the lasting impact of a lifetime in the game.

No matter which players the Texas Rangers add this offseason, the biggest focus remains the offense. After two straight seasons of inconsistent production, the organization believes answers will come from within as much as from the roster. With nearly six months between regular-season games, will that time be enough to cure an offense that showed clear signs of struggle? We go straight to the source to find out what changes are being made, what needs to improve, and how the Rangers plan to score more runs in 2026.

The Texas Rangers have already been active this offseason, but the work is not finished. With the list of available pitchers shrinking and right-handed bats coming off the board, the timing of the next move becomes critical. Will the Rangers strike with one big addition or continue working the margins with smaller moves? We break down the remaining options, what fits the roster best, and which current Ranger needs a bounce-back season the most for this plan to work.

After underachieving for the second straight season, the Texas Rangers made significant changes ahead of the 2026 MLB season. The front office parted ways with three World Series heroes and a Hall of Fame manager in hopes of jump starting a talented roster. December was spent working the margins rather than making splashy moves, but was it enough to change the direction of the team? We break down every key decision, what still needs to happen, and whether this offseason can truly become a December to remember for Rangers fans.

Texas Rangers legend Tom Grieve joins the show for a wide ranging baseball conversation that bridges generations. Grieve shares his thoughts on today’s Texas Rangers roster, how hitting has changed in the modern game, and what young Rangers prospects must do to succeed at the big league level. From approach at the plate to player development and expectations inside the organization, this is a must watch discussion with one of the most respected voices in Rangers history. If you love Texas Rangers baseball and want perspective you cannot get anywhere else, this conversation delivers.

The 2025 Texas Rangers did not meet expectations, but the season was not a total failure. Despite underachieving, the team avoided a losing record and has already made significant changes this offseason. As the holidays approach and the calendar turns toward a new year, the big question is whether Rangers fans should feel optimistic about 2026. We break down what went wrong, what went right, and whether the path forward includes lessons from the past that can lead this team back to contention.

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.
