Texas Rangers prepare for MLB offseason and potential work stoppage

The Texas Rangers are preparing for the upcoming MLB offseason and potential labor negotiations. Following the pattern of the 2021 season, where the team made aggressive moves like signing Corey Seager and Marcus Semien before a potential work stoppage, the organization is currently mapping out its strategy for the next several weeks.

Chris Young, the Rangers' president of baseball operations, stated that the team has already begun meetings to prepare for the window before free agency begins. The team faces uncertainty regarding the collective bargaining agreement between MLB and the MLB Players’ Association; if a deal is not reached by the December 1 deadline, owners may implement a lockout, halting all contract activities.
