Friday marked the final day for clubs to settle with arbitration-eligible players before their contract proceedings were taken before an arbiter. The Texas Rangers had a trio of players that were eligible for arbitration this season after other eligible players, Nomar Mazara and Delino DeShields, were traded earlier in the offseason. All three current eligible Rangers made notable impacts in 2019 and should factor in heavily during the 2020 season.
The most prominent name entering arbitration for Texas is outfielder Joey Gallo who was in the midst of a breakout season in 2019 before a broken hamate bone required surgery, derailing his year.
