Looking at the Rangers’ Rule 5 eligibles

Adam Morris of Lone Star Ball reports that the Texas Rangers have very few minor leaguers likely to receive serious consideration for a 40-man roster spot ahead of the upcoming Rule 5 Draft deadline. The writer assesses that the risk of losing exposed players is low, as top past draft picks are already protected, injured, traded, or have struggled to progress through the farm system.

Morris highlights relief pitcher Wilian Bormie as the most plausible candidate if Texas opts to add anyone, citing his 98 mph fastball and 2.61 ERA across Double-A and Triple-A in 2026 despite command concerns. Other players examined, including Arturo Disla, Ryan Lobus, and Bryan Magdaleno, are viewed as unlikely to receive 40-man roster spots before the November 17 deadline.
