Texas Rangers sign Joc Pederson to 2-year $37 million deal. How much does he improve the lineup?
The Texas Rangers signed former Arizona Diamondbacks DH Joc Pederson to a 2-year $37 million deal to bolster a lineup in need of improvement. The Rangers traded 1B Nathaniel Lowe to the Washington Nationals in exchange for lefty reliever Robert Garcia. After the Jake Burger trade Lowe's time in Texas seemed to be almost over, but moving on from Lowe opens up a hole in the Rangers' lineup.
Joc Pederson had been heavily linked to Texas recently and gives the Rangers an offensive upgrade over Lowe. Pederson has been an exceptional hitter and fairly consistent offensively for his MLB career.

Why Texas Rangers' chances to sign Roki Sasaki are better than most MLB teams
What is up with all the recent Pete Alonzo rumor? I feel like they arent true but there are multiple reports saying we are working on a deal with him
If i were the rangers i would go for Gio urshella , marcus strowman , lane thomas , Ramon Laureano , jessie chavez , orlando arcia
Joc didn't even get a chance to shine in Arizona kept getting put in the bench area and time off for no reason at all
They let go off half of the roster thats insane to me when you need players right now and the Rangers out here letting go off half of the roster
🤘
We pickup Yates and burnes that will be a Christmas miracle
Joc-tober. You monster.
I probably need to listen to the episode again, it was late when I watched, but I’m not seeing it, at least not on paper. His stats just don’t scream this guy is a better hitter to me. Hopefully it will work out great anyway. I’m trying to be optimistic, if he’s as good as everyone is saying, we should shred next year.
HOOP
Rangers trade lowe for peanuts rangers finishing in 3rd place
This guy is being over the hill since 2019
Yeah I miss Lorenzen, who we get in a trade for him?
Time to end the Adolis Garcia experiment now. We'll have Langford, Pederson, Carter and Taveras in the outfield. I'm so over Garcia half assing things in the field and at the plate.
Joc peterson is atrocious in the defensive side
Just imagine if the rangers still had clase and ragans on the team
Don’t you see Joc as a lead off hitter ON THIS TEAM? Who’s more qualified of the returning starters? Smith? Carter? Definitely NOT Semien. That experiment was a disaster. He should be hitting in the bottom half of the lineup if everyone is hitting how we expect.
Definitely Yates over Robertson, Robertson was very streaky last year but Yates was solid.
Yes the Texas Rangers got Joc Pederson. The Rangers should get back to the playoffs in 2025. They will possibly win the AL West. Whether they can beat the LA Dodgers or NY Mets who knows, but I hope they get a chance to find out.
Yea I agree this is hey we need another bat in Left field. These teams are loaded most likely we will have to play both to win it all
37 million to much
This was exactly what I was looking for.
Semien. 2B Seager. SS. L Langford. LF Jung. 3B Joc. DH. L Garcia. RF Burger. 1B Carter. CF. L Heim/Higgy. C That is easily the best lineup in the AL west and could be the best lineup in the AL.
Heim has to play better. He definitely had a down season along with several other guys so we can say this about others, but he really needs to pick it up in 25.
@@TheSkepticalGrassHopper he had a injury that never fully recovered, a short offseason, WS hangover, and Bochy played him into the dirt. He will be splitting time with Higgy this season and I think that will do wonders for his bat and his health. Catchers can’t be catching more than 100 games a season anymore, especially if they’re going deep into the playoffs.
I hate to throw a wet blanket on this….but here goes nothing. He has a career .811 OPS, can’t play defense, and can’t hit lefties. Seems like too much money. We had a gold glove first baseman. Who plays now? Burger? Another sub par defender. Now if we get last year Joc and a .900 OPS? All of his faults are forgiven.
Have faith we have best coach in the world. It’s gonna be ok still think we make a move for another bat. Hitting is about balance . Numbers go up when surrounded buy the correct people
@ I know man. And honestly last year went about as bad as possible. I think honestly we’re somewhere in between.
Think about those good but wasted starts that Lorenzen or Urena provided last season. This powerful lineup can really change the look of next season.
2 Marcus Semien 2B 5 Corey Seager SS 36 Wyatt Langford LF 53 Adolis Garcia RF 23 Joc Pederson DH 30 Jake Burger 1B 28 Jonah Heim C 6 Josh Jung 3B 32 Evan Carter CF
Jung and Carter 8 and 9th? That won’t happen. Either Carter won’t play or he’s a top three hitter. He won’t be a sub .700 ops guy and play in front of Wyatt or Leody. Jung slots in ahead of Garcia to start likely. He was on fire in April before he got hurt.
Don't forget Walcott. Plus Smith, Leody, and Duran to give our starters rest. This is a deeper squad than the World Series team. Plus DeGrom is leading a nasty rotation w Eovaldi, Rocker, Gray and Heaney. I would like to see one more bad ass pitcher cus Gray and Heaney are good but not great.
@@neo-mp4hf Heaney hasn't been resigned. Hopefully but they are running out of "cap" space.
@@TJettmanmajor league baseball doesn't have a cap, only a luxury tax.
@@neo-mp4hf That's why I put it in quotes.
Can we get a left fielder ? And starter ? Maybe? Idk.
Why do we need a left fielder? Does Langford not exist?
@@samuelpatton5148 I just got that feeling he’s gonna be in center that’s all. I think he’s elite there. And more of a real need for his bat considering how bad our center fielder has been hitting last 3 years. Also Carter most likely gonna be in triple A
Langford reminds me of Mike Trout / Jacoby Ellsbury. Somebody like this - best of the best type of center fielder
@@chadstephens9022 I think Langford only ends up in CF if both Carter and Leody are injured. LF is his best fit.
@@chadstephens9022 I think Langford only ends up in CF if both Carter and Leody are injured. LF is his best fit.
Ladies and gentlemen... We got him.
Funny you estimated Joc getting 2 year $19M and CY paid him nearly double of that 😂
Pederson 2 years and $37 mil?!? I don't understand the contract. I see the need for the guy but damn.
Joc was the best hitter in baseball in 2024 when ahead in the count 3-0 or 3-1!!!
Joc has the most insane stat I’ve ever seen. When ahead in the count 3-0 teams NEVER GOT HIM OUT!!!!! 18 trips 17 walks!!!!!! One hit We’ve found our leadoff hitter….. Joc Seager Wyatt Semien Burger Jung Garcia Carter or Smith Heim I said this last year but I’m “cautiously optimistic” we will be top 5 in runs this year.
I said earlier Lowe’s was gone .. need more power from first base… but he was definitely worth more than what rangers got
Since May 7th his era was 3.70 it’s incredible how many “fans” question CY a proven winner. Fan since 2010? Try since 1987.
I wish everyone would stop criticize until you haven't even seen them play together yet. I will miss lowe but damn.
@@jakedupree7268 💯
Thx for everything Lowe 😑 After Joc we still have 11m before hitting lux tax?
Burger 1B, Pederson DH.
I WILL MISS HIS BEAUTIFUL MUSTACHE😢😢
Who is going to play 1st?? Maybe Foscue….. I hate to see Nate go!!! Love that guy!!
Jake Burger will play 1B. Pederson/ Smith Platoon DH.
Joc coming to tecas
Fan of another team here: I have to say that I was the most shocked to see this trade. Honestly, who would want to trade Nate Lowe? Whenever he would come up to bat against my team, I would just say, “Oh no, here we go.” First impression is that it’s a big L for the Rangers, with much respect to Bochy and the gang.
No Lowe, but Joc Pederson? What is CY doing? I hate both of those moves.
They traded for 1B/3B Jake Burger last week. I saw this coming a mile away.
@@M4sterT3chfinally someone who isn't clueless. Alot of fans freaking out and haven't even seen them together yet.
Pederson is here!!!
That's a bad thing, not a good thing. Wasted money by CY.
Sign Alonso
WE GOT JOC PETERSON REPEAT WE GOT JOC PETERSON
No we didn't dude. We got Joc Pederson.
@MojoJM whatever dude you know what I mean
@@jefferyokelley6733 Haha, just know the dudes name before you comment next time.
@@MojoJM auto correct I say Peterson so much it just AC it cause AP
@@jefferyokelley6733 I know rite it’s starting to look good . Really good 😊
The Astros got worse so the Ranger decided to do the same? Why not keep both and put burger at DH? I get burger hits tanks but he Def is bad. This is a downgrade at 1B. Why? Why? Why?
Wow, I didn't see that coming.
I think it’s a bad trade
Oof this hits hard, though I liked Garcia's numbers under the cover, this is still more about lowering the salary, right move, but sure this is not popular among us fans.
Annnd Joc is here!
There's definitely no lowering of the salary happening this off-season.
@@M4sterT3ch I'll take it as paying an extra few mil and DH flexibility for a slight upgrade on a bat, and a potentially quality reliever, though it would require Joc to replicate this year's number to qualify as an upgrade, and yes, Lowe would still be remembered for what he did.
NOT HAPPY ABOUT THIS 🤬
Go be an Astros fan. 😜
@ nah I still got Corey, Marcus, Big Game Nate and El Bombi.
big move coming for the rangers, and i legitimately think it could be burnes
I hate to lose Lowe but we did need a better bullpen
Marcus Semien is going to be a $25 million hole in the lineup for the next 4 years.
You said Taveras is a good defender? 😬
