Rangers Rebound or Repeat? Unpacking the 2025 ZiPS Projections
Posted: Mon Nov 25, 2024 11:15 am
The Texas Rangers had a rollercoaster of a season, going from World Series champions to a disappointing 78-84 record. As we look ahead to 2025, the ZiPS projections offer a glimpse into what might be in store for this team. With a significant drop in offensive production and a bullpen that ranked 25th in WAR, the Rangers have some serious decisions to make this offseason.
What do you think went wrong for the Rangers this past season? Was it a lack of depth, underperformance from key players, or perhaps a combination of both? With veterans like Marcus Semien and Adolis García aging, can we expect them to bounce back, or is it time for the Rangers to start looking for younger talent to build around?
Speaking of the bullpen, it seems like a major overhaul is necessary. Should the Rangers go all-in on top-tier relievers this offseason, or is it wiser to invest in starting pitching first? With Jacob deGrom's health in question, how should the Rangers approach their rotation moving forward?
Let’s also talk about the lineup. With promising players like Wyatt Langford and a hopefully healthier Josh Jung, is there enough talent to turn things around? Or do the Rangers need to make bold moves to shake up the roster?
I’m curious to hear your thoughts. What bold predictions do you have for the Rangers in 2025? Will they be a playoff contender, or are they destined for another mediocre season? Let’s dive into the discussion!
