Chris Young calls for more youth and athleticism in Rangers lineup

Texas Rangers president of baseball operations Chris Young addressed the media following the team's 80-82 finish. Young emphasized the need for the Rangers to enhance their toughness and grit, particularly for road games. He also highlighted the necessity for a younger and more athletic team, noting previous struggles with baserunning and defense. Young pointed out that recent player acquisitions have not increased the team’s athleticism, including older signings like Joc Pederson and Kyle Higashioka. The focus will be on revamping the roster as the team prepares for next season.
