Rangers Cut Ties With World Series Heroes
22 Nov, 2025
Summary
- Texas Rangers did not tender contracts to key players Adolis García and Jonah Heim.
- García and Heim were pivotal in the team's sole World Series championship two years ago.
- Both players saw their performance numbers decrease in the most recent season.
The Texas Rangers surprised many by declining to offer contracts to prominent players Adolis García and Jonah Heim, making them free agents. These two were significant contributors to the franchise's only World Series title secured two years prior to the current date of November 22, 2025.
Both García and Heim were All-Stars and Gold Glove winners in 2023, but their offensive statistics have notably dropped since then. García's OPS has been particularly low over the last two seasons. Reliever Josh Sborz, who was crucial in the World Series clincher, and Jacob Webb also did not receive contract tenders.
However, the Rangers did reach an agreement on a one-year deal with outfielder Sam Haggerty to avoid arbitration. The team still has four players eligible for salary arbitration, indicating ongoing roster decisions as the team prepares for the upcoming season.
