Writing for Lone Star Ball, Benjamin Morris examines the offseason outlook for the Texas Rangers following the Houston Astros' sweep from the playoffs. Morris notes that Rangers executive Chris Young is entering the offseason using language indicative of a rebuild, stating a goal to "address the makeup of this team."

Morris argues that the Rangers face significant financial constraints in making major adjustments to their roster. With minimal salary coming off the payroll and an increased number of arbitration-eligible players, Morris suggests the franchise may lack the necessary funds to resolve its existing roster issues.
