There is no doubt that 2025 was not the year that the Texas Rangers wanted to have.

Coming in with high expectations for a bounce back after a disappointing 2025 season, the club was on many people’s radars as a team that could make a deep postseason run.

Ultimately, those radars did not come to fruition as the Rangers finished exactly at .500 at 81-81 and missed the postseason for a second consecutive year since winning the World Series in 2023.

Through all of the Rangers' struggles since 2022, shortstop Corey Seager has tended to remain a constant.

However, that was not the case in 2025.

Seager played in just 102 games, hitting .271 with a .373 on-base percentage and a .487 slugging percentage with 21 home runs and 50 RBI.

Last season marked the first year of Seager’s four- year Rangers tenure during which he was not named an American League All-Star and did not hit at least 30 home runs.

The 2025 season featured multiple Injured List stints for the Rangers' shortstop and ended with Seager needing an appendectomy in late August.

Six months later, Seager is back fully healthy in Spring Training with the Rangers as he prepares for what he and the team hope is a bounce-back season.

“Good off-season,” Seager said. “I kinda came in where you wanna be, so I’m excited for the year for sure”.

Before the season gets going, there will continue to be a lot of talk about the Rangers' culture after what took place last season and first-year manager Skip Schumaker taking over the reigns but if one thing is for certain, he’s made an impression on Seager.

“He [Schumaker] gave a really good speech yesterday on expectations and how he sees this thing going," Seager said. "It got a lot of people fired up and headed the right way, and now it’s all about maintaining that."

Seager also knows that whatever his role in that process ends up being, he was more than open to it.

“I don’t think you can really dictate that right, it’s all about how you can help people, how you can stay out of people’s way, and that can also help them, so you just wanna be an open book as a veteran and be approachable and everything else," Seager said.

“I’ve always wanted to do that, and I kinda have, so you pick your spots, but other than that, you just kinda try to be one of the guys and keep this thing moving in the right direction."
