Rangers Position Players Since 2016
The 2016 NL Rookie of the Year, he also has two World Series MVPs, including one in 2023, the Rangers only World Series championship victory.
Corey Seager
A 2015 trade deadline acquisition, he compiled 38 wins and a 3.90 ERA over 546.2 innings as the ace of the staff in Texas from 2015-2018. Right before his acquisition by Texas, however, this left-hander tossed a no-hitter against the Cubs.
Cole Hamels
An All-Star closer for Texas, this right-hander used his dastardly fastball-splitter combo to accumulate 33 saves and a 1.17 ERA before joining a vaunted Los Angeles Dodgers bullpen as a free agent.
Kirby Yates
A near-unanimous Hall-of-Fame selection, this outfielder holds the professional baseball record for most career hits, and is one of two players to win MVP and Rookie of the Year in the same season.
Ichiro Suzuki
The amount of teams he played for in his career.
4 (LAD, SEA, BOS, TEX)
A two-time All-Star and two-time Gold Glove winning outfielder, he led the AL in walks (111) and led all of MLB in strikeouts (213) in 2021, during which he was shipped in a deadline trade that netted current Rangers Ezequiel Duran and Josh H. Smith.
Joey Gallo
This chunky right-hander, along with his left-handed co-ace, each threw 208.1 innings in 2019, but this pitcher bested his teammate in strikeouts (with 246) and Cy Young finish (5th). He would later retire as a St. Louis Cardinal.
Lance Lynn
A Ranger from 2016-2024, this Latin right-hander served as the closer in 2018, 2019 and the 2023 postseason. His 1.56 ERA and 305 ERA+ in 2018 stood out as a career year.
Jose Leclerc
This career Atlanta Brave was elected in 2018, earning a spot on 97.2% of ballots. He held down third base from 1995-2012, and won an MVP in 1999 with a .319 average and 45 homers.
Chipper Jones
This Beltre teammate loved to touch Beltre's head whenever he could, despite Beltre's incessant attempts to get him to knock it off.
Elvis Andrus
The 2015 Home Run Derby champion with a mobster movie nickname to boot, this 2020 Ranger earned two All-Star appearances as a Cincinnati Red third baseman in 2014 and 2015.
Todd Frazier
This Latin left-hander had two stints with the Rangers, one from 2012-2018, and another in 2022-2023. His 2022 campaign was his only All-Star selection, as he tossed 196.1 innings with a 2.89 ERA.
Martin Perez
This submarine-throwing Puerto Rican lefty barely beat out Matt Bush for the Rangers' save lead in 2017 with 11. His 2.50 ERA over 82.2 innings that season was also the best amongst Ranger relievers.
Alex Claudio
Elected in 2025, this big left-hander had notable stints as an Indian and as a Yankee, while also making an impression as a Brewer following a 2008 trade deadline acquisition.
C.C. Sabathia
Barry Bonds
A lovable defensive catcher who struggled mightily with the bat, this Ranger was acquired at the 2023 deadline from Pittsburgh, and has played for the Guardians each of the last two seasons.
Austin Hedges
The long, blonde hair his trademark look, this right-hander went 2-12 with a 5.44 ERA in what ended up being his final season with Texas in 2021 after a six-year stint in Atlanta, during which he earned an All-Star nod in 2018.
Mike Foltynewicz
A former successful starter with Arizona, San Diego and Kansas City, this right-hander compiled a 2.51 ERA and 16 saves in 2021 before being shipped with Kyle Gibson and a prospect to Philadelphia at that year's deadline.
Ian Kennedy
This left-handed power-hitting first baseman/DH played from 1991-2012, hitting more than 600 career homers and enjoying notable stints with Cleveland, Philadelphia, and the White Sox.
Jim Thome
During his lone season with Boston, Beltre led all of baseball in this stat, hitting 49 of them in 2010.
Doubles
A bearded, left-handed OF/DH, this former first round pick played in 63 games for Texas in 2021. His far more notable stint came as a Colorado Rockie, however, where he earned an All-Star nod in 2019.
David Dahl
One of three pitchers to throw over 100 innings for Texas in 2019, this bespectacled Latin right-hander started 18 games with a 5.81 ERA. His first name is shared with a certain Disney mermaid.
Ariel Jurado
Joe Barlow
This right-handed pitcher pitched from 1991-2008 for two teams in the AL East. He accumulated six top-5 Cy Young finishes, and in 2001, had a career and AL-best 7.1 WAR and an AL-best 2.92 FIP over 228.2 innings of work.
