The Texas Rangers are aiming to get younger and less expensive next season. Their non-tender moves on Friday reflected that desire.

The Rangers non-tendered the contracts of outfielder Adolis García and catcher Jonah Heim before Friday night’s roster deadline, a person with direct knowledge of the decisions confirmed to The Dallas Morning News, and ended their multi-year tenures with the team.

The Rangers did not offer contracts to Adolis Garcia and Jonah Heim​ after both stars struggled at the plate over the past two seasons.

That move makes Adolis García, Jonah Heim, Josh Sborz and Jacob Webb all free agents, meaning they’re now free to sign with any team.

Adolis Garcia once looked like the face of the Texas Rangers ’ turnaround. Now he’s a free agent, and one of the most volatile bets on the market.

The Rangers are hoping to trade two players, as the club continues to rebuild with a new manager this offseason.

Garcia has heavily regressed since his unforgettable 2023 campaign, where he helped lead Texas to its first World Series title. Two seasons ago, he hit .245 with 39 home runs and 107 RBIs. The 32-year-old has not reached that same level of success since.
