2025 Opening Day Less Than a Week Away

March 21, 2025 – ​The Texas Rangers are gearing up for the 2025 MLB season with renewed optimism, aiming to rebound from a disappointing 2024 campaign. The team has made strategic roster enhancements and is poised to be a strong contender in the American League West.​

To bolster their lineup, the Rangers signed designated hitter Joc Pederson and first baseman Jake Burger. These additions are expected to amplify the team’s offensive capabilities, addressing the power deficit experienced last season.

A significant boost to the pitching staff is the return of ace Jacob deGrom, whose previous seasons were marred by injuries. His health and performance are pivotal to the Rangers’ aspirations this year. Additionally, the team recently signed veteran left-hander Patrick Corbin to a one-year deal, aiming to add depth and experience to the rotation. ​

Season Outlook:

Analysts project the Rangers as serious contenders for the World Series, reflecting a potential significant turnaround from the previous season’s shortcomings. The American League West is anticipated to be highly competitive, with the Rangers, Houston Astros, and Seattle Mariners all vying for the top spot. The Astros, having lost key players like Alex Bregman and Justin Verlander, may face challenges in maintaining their dominance, potentially opening the door for the Rangers to capitalize. ​

The Rangers’ schedule is structured to their advantage, with 33 of their first 60 games at Globe Life Field. Improving their home performance, particularly in terms of slugging percentage, will be crucial for a strong start.
