For five years, it’s been the team’s most productive and stable position. Now it may be the ripest for upheaval.

Writer Jamey Newberg analyzes the Texas Rangers' outlook at shortstop as the franchise evaluates its roster ahead of the 2027 season. After five stable and productive years featuring Corey Seager, Newberg suggests the position may now be facing potential upheaval following a third consecutive season in which the team fell short of expectations.
Newberg highlights that Seager's fWAR dropped significantly to 2.1 across 102 games in 2026, marking a notable decline compared to his previous seasons. Additionally, Seager gained full 10/5 no-trade rights at the end of the year, potentially complicating future roster decisions for the front office.
