The Texas Rangers have made some changes to the roster in recent years, but one of the more notable additions in 2024 was the addition of Wyatt Langford to the outfield. Coming off a World Series-winning season, Langford joined the Rangers as a promising young outfielder, and he was solid in each of the last two years. However, as ESPN's Buster Olney points out, Langford might have reached a turning point in his career and could be on the cusp of a major breakout season in 2026 to turn into a superstar that he's shown he can be this spring.
