Keith Law has his 2022 farm system organizational rankings out this morning, and the Texas Rangers have jumped up significantly in the rankings, checking in at #11 overall. That’s a significant jump from where had them ranked last time around (at 24).
Law specifically has praise for the Rangers choosing to immediately be aggressive in the free agent market this past offseason after dealing players with limited team control remaining over the summer. What Texas has done is pretty unique — and I understand why folks questioned when the offseason started whether the Rangers would really spend big after having just sold off, given that most teams wait before making that kind of big splash.
