Jeff Wilson has adjusted his Rangers Opening Day roster projection with McCutchen’s arrival necessitating changes.

Evan Grant writes about the reasoning behind new skipper Skip Schumaker moving Corey Seager down a spot in his anticipated everyday lineup.

Landry writes about Brandon Nimmo acclimating himself to playing for a new team and moving positions this spring.

Grant notes that Schumaker intends to allow Josh Smith and Evan Carter more leeway to bat against left-handed pitching rather than viewing them strictly as platoon options.

MLB dot com’s Will Leitch calls a Jacob deGrom Cy Young win the most likely award hardware chance for a Ranger in 2026.

Grant writes that former All-Star reliever Alexis Diaz is falling behind in the wide-open bullpen competition with some unpleasant outings so far this spring.
