Rangers signed INF Jake Burger to a one-year, $3.2 million deal to avoid arbitration.The agreed upon amount comes in slightly under the $3.5 million that Burger was projected to earn by MLBTradeRumors.com. His first season with the Rangers didn't go according to plan, as the 29-year-old slugger slashed a meager .236/.269/.419 with 16 round trippers and 53 RBI in 376 plate appearances. He's still locked in as the team's starter at first base though and should be a popular bounce-back candidate heading into 2026 fantasy drafts.
