The Texas Rangers are reportedly weighing the potential trade of shortstop Corey Seager amid rumors of a possible offseason move. Currently leading the AL West, the Rangers face significant hurdles in any trade discussions, as Seager’s injury history and a substantial contract—totaling $155 million over the next five years—diminish his market value. Seager, a two-time World Series MVP, has struggled this season with a.182 batting average and has spent time on the injured list six times over the past two years. Despite interest from potential teams, both his performance and contract situation could deter trade offers.
