As the Texas Rangers 2019 season comes to a close, what can we make of the up and down year and how could that affect next season?

To say 2019 was an up and down season for the Texas Rangers would be a bit of an understatement. A year that started with fairly low expectations got off to a brilliant start that saw Texas hang around the AL Wild Card race for a large portion of the year. However, some untimely injuries paired with some regression towards the mean saw the Rangers finish 78-84, a respectable record coming out of a tough division with relatively low team expectations.

All that being said, there were things we can take from the 2019 season. Positives and negatives. Some good, some bad and some ugly.
