MLB power rankings Week 23: Red Sox remain unserious, Cubs rise
19. Texas Rangers (22)
It’s far too late for the Texas Rangers to start playing like contenders now. Trouncing the New York Yankees feels great, but it’s also a reminder of what could have been for the reigning World Series champions. Plenty went wrong this season, injuries certainly played a leading role in that, but last season now appears to be an obvious fluke. The hope is that Texas finishes out September strong, convincing ownership to keep investing in the roster and player development so this club can be a perennial contender.
