Slugging outfielder Adolis García, switch-hitting catcher Jonah Heim and right-handed reliever Josh Sborz have all became free agents. The Texas Rangers didn’t tender 2026 contract offers to the trio that played significant roles in the team’s only World Series title two years ago. The Rangers also didn’t tender a contract offer to right-handed reliever Jacob Webb before Friday’s deadline, but did agree to terms on a one-year contract with outfielder Sam Haggerty to avoid salary arbitration. García and Heim were both All-Stars and Gold Glove winners in 2023, and García was the AL Championship Series MVP after 15 RBIs against Houston. Sborz got the final seven outs of the World Series clinching game.
