The Texas Rangers enter the offseason with their offense and bullpen as the biggest issues that still have to be addressed. After the Rangers took the season right down to the final game to decide whether they were going to make the postseason, the front office must decide whether they are going to trade a big-money player to shed some payroll and find a way to improve the team's offense, which always seems to struggle.

The thing that has plagued the Rangers since their World Series run in 2023 is their offense, which has struggled, especially at Globe Life Field. With the potential they have in their starting rotation, the Rangers need offense and, most importantly, for it to perform.

This page brings together our offseason coverage, from free-agent decisions and potential targets to trades and roster moves. Check back as the Rangers make changes ahead of the 2027 season.
