Top-heavy, mostly left-handed, swing-and-miss, young. Those are characteristics of the Texas Rangers’ 2019 offense. It wasn’t a bad bunch. For much of the season, the Rangers had one of the top-producing offenses in the league. They began to sputter only after Joey Gallo, Hunter Pence, and Nomar Mazara fell to injury toward the end of the year.
There is certainly room for improvement, however. And it may take signing just a single player to shift some of those weaknesses to strengths.
J.D. Martinez can opt out of his contract with the Boston Red Sox this offseason.
