The Texas Rangers were coming off a 102-loss season when they invested a half-billion dollars in free agents Corey Seager and Marcus Semien.
Now with their All-Star middle infielders at the top of the batting order for the second straight year, the Rangers are getting ready for their first AL Championship Series since 2011 after opening this postseason with sweeps of the American League's two winningest teams of 2023.
“When I won in LA, it was a long time since they’d won. I saw what that did for a fan base,” Seager said. “When I heard had never won, it was extremely exciting for me to be part of something and to be able to be on the ground for and build that.” They won 90 games this year, when Seager had an MVP-caliber season despite missing 40 games because of two stints on the injured list. He hit .327 with 33 homers and 96 RBIs in 119 games; he lost the AL batting title on the final day of the regular season, but matched his season high for homers for the second year in a row.
