Rangers Offseason: Young Wants Younger, Faster, More Dynamic Club

Arl

ington, the offseason script just got clearer — and it isn’t “tear it down.”

Rangers president of baseball operations Chris Young, at Monday’s end-of-year presser, owned the 80-82 finish and the third straight October miss, then pointed the map: “We need to get younger. We need to get more athletic. We need to get more dynamic.” He rejected a rebuild, saying Texas will “reshuffle the cards,” and called out Wyatt Langford, Evan Carter, Kumar Rocker, and Jack Leiter as drafted pieces who still need to take the next step.

Young also dinged the club’s road toughness — you can’t sit under .500 away from Globe Life and call yourself playoff-hardened — and said payroll clarity should come in the next month before free agency opens. CBA timing is on the calendar too; the front office is already mapping those four-to-five weeks.

For the Texas Rangers (https://rfsportsradio.blogspot.com/search/label/Texas%20Rangers), the radio question writes itself: reshuffle with whose money, and which veterans get moved to make the athleticism real?
