The Texas Rangers had a mediocre season in 2025, finishing with a record of 81-81, exactly .500. The 2023 World Series champs are a shell of their former selves, but there may be a move that could give them the energizing shot to bring them back to contention.

Fansided’s Christopher Kline believes three-time All-Star and former MVP candidate Fernando Tatis Jr. is that shot, and would create an amazing outfield trio with Wyatt Langford and Evan Carter.

“The Texas Rangers are at an organizational crossroads just a couple years after scaling the mountaintop. Bruce Bochy is out. Skip Schumaker is in — and it’s a great hire. But how does the roster evolve from here? Many of the veterans who led the Rangers’ World Series run a couple years ago just aren’t up to the task anymore. Texas has several holes to plug, but this is typically a club with plenty of spending power. Tatis would join Evan Carter and Wyatt Langford to form one of the most naturally talented outfield trios in MLB, with an understanding that Adolis García is either bumped to DH or traded elsewhere to create space,” Kline wrote.

This past season, Tatis slashed .268/.368/.446/.814, with 27 doubles, 25 home runs, 71 RBI, and 32 stolen bases in 155 games. He would become the leader of the outfield and of the offense.
