9/17/24 Top Offseason Priority For Texas Rangers? Chris Young Lays Out Needs, Including Core Players 'Bouncing Back'. Like most teams, the Texas Rangers will be looking for pitching this winter, both starters and relievers. Whether that comes in the form or resigning some of the arms currently on their roster for two more weeks, or seeking fresh blood, the club's President of Baseball Operations Chris Young will be tasked with rounding out a rotation and restocking a bullpen. "We've got some some position player spots that are going to be priorities as well, and some of those answers may be internal answers, in terms of just getting our guys to perform more consistently like they did in 2023," Young said. Others, including Josh Jung and perhaps Evan Carter, were less productive because of injuries, but will be expected to return to form in 2025.
