The Rangers strengthened their rotation by acquiring left-hander MacKenzie Gore, joining Jacob deGrom and Nathan Eovaldi to form a formidable trio. Former top prospect Jack Leiter is expected to take the No. 4 spot, while Kumar Rocker is a leading candidate for the fifth starter role despite past struggles. Other options include Jacob Latz, who excelled in a versatile role, and veterans Cal Quantrill, Austin Gomber, and Nabil Crismatt, who provide depth. The Rangers are also considering bringing back veteran Patrick Corbin, who had a successful stint in 2025.
