Rangers Predicted To Move On From Former ALCS MVP At Trade Deadline
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. The Texas Rangers won the World Series in 2023 and followed it up by missing the playoffs, and it looked to be more of the same this season before their recent arrival into the playoff race. No matter Texas' direction, Cody Stavenhagen of The Athletic predicts that Adolis García will not be a member of the Rangers after Thursday's trade deadline. ARLINGTON, TEXAS - JULY 23: Adolis García #53 of the Texas Rangers reacts to an inside pitch during the first inning against the Athletics at Globe Life Field on July 23, 2025 in Arlington, Texas. ARLINGTON, TEXAS - JULY 23: Adolis García #53 of the Texas Rangers reacts to an inside pitch during the first inning against the Athletics at Globe Life Field on July 23, 2025 in Arlington, Texas. Photo byGarcía has one more season of team control after this season and has seen a dip in his power numbers from his 39-home run season in 2023, but still possesses the ability to flip the momentum of a game with one swing. A contending team in search of game-changing power, along with elite defense in the outfield, could swoop in and pick him up. After going 8-2 in their last 10 games, the Rangers have clawed back into the race and sat 1 1/2 games back of the Boston Red Sox entering Friday. Their deadline outlook has seemingly shifted in the last couple of weeks due to the resurgence. García could be a piece to flip to add to the Rangers' lineup for the final two months of the season, as they look to make a charge for the playoffs. García provides value defensively and game-changing pop and could net the Rangers a younger, more consistent bat. It feels unlikely that García will be traded, but his controllable period is shorter than other pieces of value. If anyone goes from the current Rangers roster, García looks to be the most possible option. More MLB: Cardinals General Manager Keeping Decision 'Fluid' With Time Running Out
