Texas Rangers 2025 MLB World Series Futures – MLB Lines
The Texas Rangers had a productive offseason and needed one. The 2024 season was one big giant hangover for the Rangers and their fans. A day that Texas Ranger fans thought they would never live to see finally arrived in the 2023 World Series. Texas beat their intra-state and American League West Division arch-rival Houston Astros for its first World Series championship since arriving in the Dallas and Fort Worth Metroplex in 1972. So spare Ranger fans and players if they were basking in the glow of glory and not at their best in 2024. But 2025 has arrived, with fans and gamblers expecting much more. And the good news is that they may get it.

In 2024, the Texas Rangers had a record of 78-84 and were 3rd in the American League West Division. Offensively, Texas ranked 18th for runs scored, 20th for batting average, 24th for OPS, 22nd for home runs, and 23rd for stolen bases. Defensively, Texas ranked 24th for earned run average, 20th for WHIP, 8th for strikeouts, 16th for quality starts, 1st for fewest errors, and 26th for bullpen ERA.
Texas ranks 6th for MLB payroll.
Major moves: Acquired IF Jake Burger from Miami via trade, Re-signed SP Nate Eovaldi to a 3-year deal, Signed DH Joc Pederson to a 2-year deal, Signed C Kyle Higashioka to a 2-year deal, Signed RP Chris Martin to a 1-year deal, Signed RP Hoby Milner to a 1-year deal, Signed RP Shawn Armstrong to a 1-year deal, Signed RP Jacob Webb to a 1-year deal, Acquired RP Robert Garcia from Washington for 1B Nathaniel Lowe.
Why was 2024 such a disaster? 1) Injuries and regression for key offensive pieces such as Josh Jung, Evan Carter, Adolis García, and Jonah Heim. 2) The bullpen, besides Kirby Yates and his 1.17 ERA, was a boat made of tissue paper.
Texas has addressed the second point head-on, adding five relievers this winter to completely refurbish a group that finished 2024 with the fifth-worst ‘pen ERA in MLB. Adding Pederson and swapping Lowe for Burger should give the offense more depth if the injury bug comes back around.
Keeping Eovaldi on a three-year deal is a risky move — 35-year-old hurlers rarely get such lengthy commitments for a reason — but he has been a durable and dependable presence atop Texas’ rotation.
Nothing the Rangers did this winter was earth-shattering or headline-grabbing, but the team is deeper and better built now than it was three months ago.
Texas Rangers Key Players
RHP Jacob deGrom arrived from the New York Mets in 2023 and has struggled to answer the bell ever since. In two seasons with the Rangers, he has pitched a total of 40.3 innings while being the top-paid player on the team at 440 million. He remains the #1 starter on the depth chart.
In 2024, SS Corey Seager produced 30 home runs and 74 runs batted in. He is a 2-time All-Star.
Texas Rangers Manager
Since 2023, Bruce Bochy has been manager of the Rangers. He led the San Francisco Giants to three World Series titles and has 2093 career wins. He is a hero for being the manager who finally led the Rangers to their first World Series title.
