With his injury history and recent production, they essentially traded for Andrew Heaney.

only my personal opinion but of the 2 i'd rather have Heaney

2023 MLB offseason grades: Dodgers, Yankees earn 'A' at winter midpoint, Mets, Padres, Astros close to failing

Texas Rangers​

The Rangers haven't done much since winning the World Series. That's OK. They didn't have much to do. Reliever Kirby Yates and rehabbing starter Tyler Mahle are solid additions at their respective prices. We have reservations about Texas' injury-depleted rotation -- executive Chris Young appears to be banking on Mahle, Jacob deGrom, and Max Scherzer making successful in-season returns -- but winning a title gains you the benefit of the doubt. Grade: C.
