Corey Seager will be the next Ranger to have a statue outside of Globe Life Field

Earlier this week, the Texas Rangers announced that former third baseman Adrian Beltre will be get his own statue outside Globe Life Field this summer.

The 45-year-old retired as a Ranger back in 2018 and last summer was inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown. He's one of the organization's three players to represent the team.

In eight seasons with the team from 2011-2018 he hit .304/.357/.509/.865 with 199 home runs and 699 runs driven in and a 41.1 WAR. He ranks top ten in club history in at-bats, runs, hits, doubles, home runs, RBI's, average and slugging.

Corey Seager is on his way to being a franchise great, just like Beltre. Even better if he continues down this direction of success.

Corey Seager will not only get a statue but has the potential to be greatest Ranger of all-time

Where would this team be without Seager? Actually, don't answer that, it makes me too sad to think about.

When Corey Seager signed his 10-year contract prior to the 2022 season, it was the sign that the organization was moving forward out of the rebuild and into the future. Not sure what the suspected timeline was to get the job done but two years in, the contract paid off with the franchise's first championship.

Seager was the centerpiece and as a result he won his second career World Series MVP, hitting three home runs and driving in six runs during the five-game series against the Arizona Diamondbacks. His game-tying two-run home run in the bottom of the ninth inning of Game One is perhaps the greatest moment of his career.

In his first three seasons with Texas, Seager has been an three-time All-Star every year, winning the AL Silver Slugger at shortstop. He recorded career high marks in OPS (1.013), home runs (33) and WAR (6.9) in 119 games during the 2023 campaign and finished second place in AL MVP voting.

Entering the 2025 season he is four home runs shy of 100 and seven RBI's shy of 300 in a Texas uniform. If Seager continues to be productive he could end his career atop the franchise's rankings in several categories.

The only thing that is stopping him from putting great counting numbers up is his health. Throughout his career he's been prone to injuries and his time with Texas has been no exception. I do not foresee that being an issue when it comes to his status as a Rangers because in some ways he's already locked it up. But, he might as well continue adding to that legacy.

Now the only question left to be asked is, what will the statue look like? My guess, it will be his reaction from that franchise-defying World Series home run.
