We are reaching that point in Spring training to where the Texas Rangers have to make some tough decisions in regards to who will make the Opening Day Roster April 8 in Toronto. Here is what the Opening Day roster MIGHT look like as of now, with a week to go until the 2022 season begins.

Obviously, the roster situation is still relatively fluid, and it’s possible the Rangers will make some more moves between now until Opening Day. For now, though, this gives us a glimpse of what the roster could look like. The team is in much better shape at this point than they were in 2021, and that’s the goal after all. And 2023 should look even better than 2022.

Based on what we have seen so far in Spring Training, you have to feel pretty good about this Texas Rangers team, especially with how well they’ve been hitting. Credit to the front office for what they did in free agency and the trades that brought in talent that will make a difference this season. Don’t forget that we also have some great prospects in the minor leagues that are getting closer to making their Major League debut this season.
