Jake Burger, now with the Texas Rangers after leaving the Miami Marlins, has established himself as a notable power hitter, hitting 29 home runs in one season.
The deal sees Burger moving back to the American League after a productive stint in Miami, where he hit nine home runs in 53 games in 2023.
Texas traded three prospects, including infielders Max Acosta and Echedry Vargas, to acquire Burger, emphasizing the Rangers' focus on bolstering their batting lineup.
Vargas, who is young and has shown potential with 29 stolen bases, mismanaged defensively with 27 errors, indicates the Rangers’ gamble on future talent.
