"Meeting with the Texas beat, Young said that "pitching is the main focus" and that the Rangers "feel pretty good" about their group of bats heading into the season ( link via Shawn McFarland of the Dallas Morning News). Young didn't expressly rule out another addition and noted that he'd continue to be "opportunistic" as the late stages of the market come together."

Nimmo effectively replaces the non-tendered Adolis Garcia and Jansen will handle most catching duties. The team expects to fill second base internally. Corey Seager and Wyatt Langford return to the heart of the order, with Evan Carter's health as a key caveat.
