As the 2016 MLB season approaches, SN's Jesse Spector will examine each team's outlook. Today: the Rangers.
2015: 88-74, first place in American League West, lost to Blue Jays in division series
Key arrivals: OF Ian Desmond, OF Justin Ruggiano, RHP Tom Wilhelmsen
Key departures: RHP Yovani Gallardo, OF Leonys Martin, 1B Mike Napoli
Best-case scenario: After a largely quiet offseason, a measure of continuity pays dividends for a team whose big move to upgrade for 2016 actually came at the 2015 trade deadline with the acquisition of Cole Hamels from Philadelphia (as well as key bullpen piece Jake Diekman).
