The 2023 Texas Rangers season was the 63rd of the Texas Rangers franchise overall, their 52nd in Arlington as the Rangers, and the fourth season at Globe Life Field. It was also the team's first season under the management of Bruce Bochy.

Contents

The Rangers had six players (five starters) named to the All-Star game, a franchise record. [1] On September 30, they clinched a playoff berth for the first time since 2016 with a win against the Seattle Mariners.

Despite leading the American League West for most of the season and finishing with the same record as the rival and defending champion Houston Astros, they finished second due to the Astros owning the tiebreaker as a result of taking the season series. The Rangers defeated the Tampa Bay Rays in the ALWCS in a two-game sweep and the Baltimore Orioles in a three-game sweep in the ALDS to advance to the ALCS for the first time since 2011, in which they beat their division and Lone Star Series rival, and defending World Series champions Astros in seven games to claim their first pennant since 2011. They defeated the Arizona Diamondbacks in the fifth game of the World Series to claim their first title in franchise history. The Rangers went 13–4 in the postseason, going 2–4 at home and 11–0 on the road, the most road wins in a postseason in MLB history. [2]

Offseason

On October 21, 2022, the Rangers hired Bruce Bochy to be their manager for the 2023 season. [3]

Regular season

The Rangers finished the 2022 season 68–94, an improvement on their 2021 record of 60–102. They finished 38 games out of 1st and missed the postseason for the sixth consecutive season.


Rule changes

Pursuant to the CBA, new rule changes were in place for the 2023 season: [4]

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Lone Star Series</span> Major League Baseball rivalry

The Lone Star Series is a Major League Baseball (MLB) rivalry featuring Texas' two major league franchises, the Houston Astros and Texas Rangers. It is an outgrowth of the "natural rivalry" established by MLB as part of interleague play as the Rangers are a member of the American League (AL) and the Astros were a member of the National League (NL) until 2012. During interleague play, the winner of the six-game series was awarded the Silver Boot, a 30-inch (760 mm) tall display of a size 15 cowboy boot cast in silver, complete with a custom, handmade spur. If each team had won three games each for a tie, the declared winner was the team that scored the most runs over the course of the series. In 2013, the Astros joined the American League West with the Rangers and changed their rivalry from an interleague to an intradivision contest. The rivalry, which was once dormant, has become far more heated in recent seasons. From 2013 to 2022, 19 games were played each season. Beginning in 2023, the teams play each other 13 times a year.

The 2010 San Francisco Giants season marked their 128th year in Major League Baseball, their 53rd year in San Francisco since their move from New York following the 1957 season, and their 11th in AT&T Park. The Giants won the National League West for the first time since the 2003 season and both the NLDS and NLCS for the first time since the 2002 season. They would go on to win the World Series, their first championship since moving to San Francisco in 1958. Giants catcher Buster Posey was awarded the National League Rookie of the Year Award.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">2012 World Series</span> 108th edition of Major League Baseballs championship series

The 2012 World Series was the championship series of Major League Baseball's (MLB) 2012 season. The 108th edition of the World Series, the series was a best-of-seven playoff between the National League (NL) champion San Francisco Giants and the American League (AL) champion Detroit Tigers; the Giants won in a four-game sweep. This marked the Giants' seventh World Series title in franchise history, their second in San Francisco, and their second in a three-year period (2010–2012). Their World Series sweep was the first by an NL team since the Cincinnati Reds swept the Oakland Athletics in the 1990 series and the first NL sweep not by the Reds since 1963, when the Los Angeles Dodgers swept the New York Yankees. This was also the first World Series since 1988 to feature both of that year's League MVPs. The Giants' Pablo Sandoval, who in Game 1 tied a record by hitting three home runs in one World Series game — two off Tigers' ace pitcher Justin Verlander — was named the World Series Most Valuable Player (MVP).

The 2013Houston Astros season was the team's first year as a member of the American League, with them switching from the National League Central to the American League West. This was also their 52nd season as an MLB franchise, their 49th as the Astros, and their 14th at Minute Maid Park.
