The Rangers weren t afraid to buck the consensus in the 2020 Draft, selecting each of their five picks higher than the majority of clubs would have. Mississippi State second baseman Justin Foscue still would have gone in the first round if they hadn t taken him 14th overall, but high schoolers Evan Carter, Tekoah Roby, Dylan MacLean and Thomas Saggese raised more eyebrows.
Texas liked what it saw from those prep products when they got their first taste of pro ball during instructional league and continues to be enthused after watching them in Minor League Spring Training. Carter and Roby proved advanced enough to make their pro debuts at Low-A Down East next week, while MacLean and Saggese could join them early in the summer.

The Texas Rangers are in a transition stage right now. They’ve had a few decent seasons, but the majority have been less than .500. The past 3 seasons alone saw a 67-95 record, 78-84 the year after, and a 22-38 record in a COVID hit season. There has been a small influx of prospects making their way into the Majors roster over the past couple of years. A new GM, some trades likely to come up, and a few FA signings could see things change dramatically for the 2021 season.
