Texas Rangers news
Arlington, TX — Texas Rangers manager Bruce Bochy has made his stance clear: Adolis García is staying put. Amid speculation that the Rangers could field trade calls for the All-Star slugger, Bochy outlined three important reasons why moving García is not in the team’s plans.
1. Core of the Offense
Bochy emphasized García’s role as a centerpiece of the Rangers’ lineup. “Every team needs a bat that can change the game with one swing, and that’s Adolis,” Bochy said. “He gives us power, run production, and a presence in the middle of the order that opponents have to respect.”
2. Clubhouse Leadership and Energy
Beyond the numbers, García’s energy and personality have become vital to the team’s chemistry. Bochy noted that García’s fiery play and emotional spark lift teammates during high-pressure moments. “He’s one of those guys who makes everyone around him better — the kind of leader you don’t want to lose,” Bochy explained.
3. Commitment to Long-Term Success
While some franchises might consider trading stars for future assets, Bochy stressed that García is part of the Rangers’ long-term vision. “We’re building to contend year after year, and Adolis is central to that plan. You don’t trade away the heart of your team if your goal is sustained success,” he said.
The 2023 World Series champions have faced ups and downs in 2025, but Bochy made it clear that García’s role is non-negotiable. With his combination of power, passion, and leadership, García remains one of the pillars of the Rangers’ present and future.
“Adolis is a Ranger,” Bochy concluded. “And that’s the way we want it to stay.”
