The Texas Rangers began preparing for the MLB offseason by mapping out strategies to navigate potential labor uncertainty. President of baseball operations Chris Young indicated that the team held meetings to prepare for the period before free agency, specifically addressing the possibility of a lockout if a new collective bargaining agreement was not reached by the December 1 deadline.

By November, the organization shifted focus toward 2027 season preparations. Chris Young outlined a strategy to maintain competitiveness with a projected payroll approximately $20 million lower than the 2026 season. The team also announced several coaching and front office changes, including the departure of assistant pitching coach Dave Bush and the promotion of several executives to vice president roles.
