Rangers Aim to Defend Title Amid Injury Hurdles and Rotation Woes
March 13, 2024The Texas Rangers celebrated their first-ever World Series victory last year, ending a 63-year wait.
Manager Bruce Bochy attributes the historic win to robust starting pitching and determined ownership.
For the 2024 season, the Rangers boast a solid lineup, but injuries to Corey Seager and Josh Jung pose challenges.
The team's starting rotation is currently weak, relying on the mid-season recovery of Jacob deGrom, Tyler Mahle, and Max Scherzer.
While the bullpen features experienced players, there's a notable gap in the form of a dependable left-handed reliever.
The Rangers are part of a highly competitive AL West division, with high expectations for top prospect Wyatt Langford.
To successfully defend their title, the Rangers' strategy hinges on their pitching strength and aim for more home games in the postseason.
