In their latest offseason moves, the Texas Rangers have announced that the club did not tender 2026 contract offers to outfielder Adolis García, catcher Jonah Heim, righty Josh Sborz, and right-hander Jacob Webb prior to Friday’s 4:00 pm CT deadline. The four players are now free agents. Additionally, the club has agreed to terms with outfielder Sam Haggerty on a one-year contract covering the 2026 season, avoiding arbitration. Following Friday’s transactions, the Rangers have 34 players on their 40-man roster.

Other Rangers Offseason Moves

On the flip side, the Rangers tendered contract offers to each of the other 27 eligible players on the roster. With the addition of Haggerty, the club already has seven players under contract for 2026. They include right-handers Jacob deGrom, Nathan Eovaldi, outfielder Sam Haggerty, catcher Kyle Higashioka, DH Joc Pederson, shortstop Corey Seager, and second baseman Marcus Semien.

The Rangers have four remaining players eligible for salary arbitration in 2026 including Jake Burger, Ezequiel Duran, Josh Jung, and Josh Smith.

Garcia’s Struggles

The 32-year-old García batted .227 (115-for-507) with 19 home runs and 75 RBI in 135 games for the Rangers in 2025. He posted his fifth consecutive season of at least 135 games played. His 745 games since joining the club in 2020 were the most by any Ranger in that span. The outfielder combined for a .237/.294/.442/.736 slash line with 141 home runs and 458 RBI during his Rangers tenure.

García also batted .323 with a 1.108 OPS, eight home runs, and a playoff-record 22 RBI over 15 postseason contests for the Rangers in 2023, collecting ALCS MVP honors after they downed the Houston Astros, four games to three. The Cuba native was acquired by the Rangers from the St. Louis Cardinals in exchange for cash considerations on December 21, 2019.

Heim’s 2025 Season

Jonah Heim batted .213 with a .602 OPS, 11 home runs, and 43 RBI in 124 games in 2025. He started a team-high 91 games behind the dish. Over five seasons, the switch-hitter slashed .226/.282/.374/.657 with 68 home runs and 277 RBI in 595 games. Heim was originally acquired by the Rangers from the then-Oakland Athletics on February 6, 2021. This was part of the trade that sent Elvis Andrus to the Athletics.

Sborz’ Recovery

Josh Sborz did not pitch in the majors in 2025 as he recovered from right shoulder surgery. He appeared in four seasons as a reliever for the Rangers. He owned a 13–12 record, 4.86 ERA, and 11.0 strikeouts per 9.0 innings during his Rangers tenure. Sborz allowed one earned run over 12 innings of postseason play during the Rangers’ 2023 World series run. He forever became a part of Rangers lore when he struck out Ketel Marte of the Arizona Diamondbacks for the final out of the World Series, giving the Rangers their first title. Sborz was originally acquired from the Los Angeles Dodgers on February 16, 2021 in exchange for righty Jhan Zambrano.

Durable Webb

Jacob Webb went 5–4 with one save and a 3.00 ERA in 55 relief appearances for the Rangers in 2025, his first season in Arlington. He ranked third among Rangers relievers in strikeouts and fourth in appearances this year. In six major league seasons with the club, Webb is 17–14 with 7 saves and a 2.99 ERA in 247 games, all in relief.
