While the season’s start has been put on pause, the Texas Rangers can focus their attention on planning contract extensions for a crucial pair of players.

Entering this offseason the Texas Rangers had a few priorities to take care of on the player personnel front. They needed to add some starting pitching, which they did. They needed to add some position help, which they also did, albeit to a degree below what they probably hoped at the start of the offseason. Along with the outside additions though, the Rangers had a few players within the organization who are in need of a contract extension. Or at least a decision on whether they fit the long-term plans of the club.
