Its been a quiet off-season, but the Texas Rangers have made the most of it. They’ve added multiple arms to their rotation and bullpen. Are they done making moves this winter or is there more to come?

The Texas Rangers have added Matt Moore, Doug Fister, and Mike Minor to their starting rotation. They’ve also signed reliever Chris Martin, acquired righty Ronald Herrera, and re-signed reliever Tony Barnette.

It’s been all about adding pitching for the Rangers this winter. They’ve acquired some depth on offense, but no one that is noteworthy. It sounds like general manager Jon Daniels believes in his current core of hitters.

The biggest departures this off-season were outfielder Carlos Gomez and slugger Mike Napoli. The Rangers will survive without them and their departures open up other opportunities for young players on the big league roster.

Filling in the rotation and adding to the bullpen were the two biggest focal points this off-season. Jon Daniels has accomplished both goals, but he’s not likely done just yet. The Rangers are fairly thin as far as starting rotation depth.

The Rangers could still add a handful of starters this off-season, but don’t get too excited. Daniels seems content with the current organization, so anyone that’s added will likely be veteran depth. The biggest moves have likely already happened for the Rangers this off-season.

Plenty of useful players remain on the open market, but most players are waiting for their best possible offer. Fans should expect the Rangers to continue adding players, but likely nothing more than backups and organizational depth.
