Predicting the Texas Rangers 2025 season

KRLD-FM / 105.3 The Fan

Today RJ & Bobby dove into their predictions for the Rangers' 2025 season, breaking down key player performances, injury concerns, and how health could shape the year. We discussed whether Josh Jung can stay healthy, if Jonah Heim and Adolis García will bounce back, and how Jacob deGrom's innings will factor in. We also talked about potential trades at the deadline and made our record predictions, with the Rangers having a shot at the AL West title. To wrap things up, we analyzed the top pitching rotations in the MLB; where do the Rangers stack up against the competition?

00:00But yeah, what are your predictions for the Ranger season? Where do they finish? What

00:19kind of record they have? How do you see things playing out? I guess I'll I'll lead off here.

00:25So last year, I was pretty confident in that team because I felt like, all right, white

00:30Langford is going to just hit the ground running. No problems. Evan Carter is good to go. We

00:37already know we saw what he did at the end of 2023. He's only going to get better. All

00:40these guys, you know, you're going to as long as you got health, we're going to run back

00:43at some point. This is good. We're going to be good to go. And I think I predicted somewhere

00:48around like 92 wins or something like that. That clearly didn't happen. A lot of injuries

00:53did not. And that's going to be the big issue this year is how healthy are they? If they're

00:57healthy and I know it's easy for me to say, well, if you're healthy, yeah, of course.

01:01But for Texas more than anybody else, I think it was a fan graphs who had written recently

01:06and said Texas could finish like Texas could win the World Series.

01:11They can finish eight games below 500, just like they have the last two years. Either

01:14one of those feels equally likely with this Rangers team, just depending on a number of

01:19different factors. I think we're going to see a bounce back from Jonah Heim. We're going

01:24to see a bounce back from Adolis Garcia. I don't think that they're going to return to

01:27the levels that they were at previously, but I think you're going to see enough that it's

01:31going to make an impact. I'm going to say Josh Young stays healthy all year. You're

01:35going to have to weather some of the injuries with Jacob to Grom, but I'm going to believe

01:40in the health of Josh Young. I'm going to believe in Jack lighter.

01:45Finally putting things together a little bit and being a meaningful contributor, not a

01:48top of the rotation guy, but a meaningful contributor. And I'm going to say the Rangers

01:53win the AL West and that they finished the year 93 and 69. I think you did that because

02:00you wanted to do that right there. That last part. Why? I don't know what you mean. 93

02:04wins. Yeah, I get that. I don't I am not as bullish on Jonah Heim or Adolis. I think they

02:14are kind of what they are in the sense that, you know, is Adolis is like OPS, you know,

02:22going to be in the high sixes. No, I think it's probably going to be closer to low 700.

02:28So like a 720.
