First baseman Burger has finalized a one-year contract with the Texas Rangers, successfully navigating the arbitration process. The agreement, reached on Thursday, ensures the player and team will avoid a potentially contentious arbitration hearing. Specific financial details of the contract remain undisclosed at this time.
Burger's previous season in 2025 saw a dip in offensive production, with 16 home runs and a .688 OPS over 103 games. This followed two strong preceding seasons where he hit a combined 63 home runs. The player underwent wrist surgery in early September, but recovery is progressing well.
Despite the surgery, Burger is expected to be fully prepared for the commencement of spring training. His new contract provides stability for the upcoming season as the Rangers aim for improved performance.
