Rangers Predicted to Land Two-Time All-Star in Blockbuster Offseason Move

Bleacher Report analyst Tim Kelly predicted that the Texas Rangers will sign free-agent outfielder Jazz Chisholm Jr. to a blockbuster contract this offseason. Kelly projected that Chisholm would agree to a three-year, $70 million deal featuring player opt-outs after each of the first two seasons. Writer Matt Levine argues that Texas should pursue the move to address lineup instability after missing the playoffs for three consecutive years.

Chisholm, who previously played for the New York Yankees, is coming off a season in which he hit .231 with 19 home runs, 55 RBIs, and 41 stolen bases. Kelly noted that the Rangers could utilize Chisholm as their everyday second baseman, with Ezequiel Duran providing defensive versatility across the diamond.
