The Rangers will head into the 2026 season without a proven closer yet again as they refuse to invest in the position.
The $1 million they spent on a one-year flyer to see if Alexis Díaz could regain his old form has not gone well, as he has officially been DFA'd by the club, with less than two weeks to go before opening day on March 26.
With the Diaz experiment done (unless he clears waivers and is stashed in the minors), the picture of the closer becomes a little clearer, though it is certainly not going to be a strength.
