If you haven’t already heard, the Texas Rangers’ No. 1 and No. 2 prospects — outfielders Evan Carter and Wyatt Langford — will open the regular season with the big league club. It’s kind of a big deal.
How about the rest of the organization’s top young talent?
The Rangers, according to Baseball America, boast the No. 3 farm system in baseball. That’s not too shabby for a team that just won the World Series. That means that while the vast majority of attention will remain on Texas’ chase for a repeat, there’s some names still worth following in the minor league levels. Some names — like Jack Leiter, Justin Foscue and Marc Church — that could contribute to Texas’ chase for a second trophy before this season is all said and done.
Here are where the Ranger’s top prospects, according to The Dallas Morning News’ rankings, will be starting their seasons.
