The Texas Rangers have signed free-agent reliever Tyler Alexander to a one-year deal on Friday. Alexander split time between the Milwaukee Brewers and Chicago White Sox last season, posting a 4.98 ERA with 82 strikeouts and a 1.40 WHIP across 97 2/3 innings. The 31-year-old left-hander owns a career 4.63 ERA and is expected to provide bullpen depth for Texas. Alexander can safely be left off the fantasy radar for 2026.

Free-agent catcher Danny Jansen has agreed to a two-year, $14.5 million contract with the Texas Rangers. In 2025, Jansen slashed .215/.321/.399 with 14 home runs, 36 RBI, and 38 runs scored, good for a 103 wRC+ across 337 plate appearances. The 30-year-old also posted a career-high 25.5% strikeout rate, offset by a solid 12.5% walk rate. Jansen is expected to serve as the Rangers' primary catcher, though he will split time with Kyle Higashioka. From a fantasy standpoint, Jansen profiles best as a second catcher in two-catcher formats and is unlikely to be a viable option in standard 10- or 12-team leagues.

Outfielder David Dahl announced his retirement earlier this week on his X account, bringing an end to his seven-year major league career. Once a top-100 prospect, Dahl showed flashes of his talent but was unable to stay healthy or consistent over a full season. The 31-year-old spent the bulk of his career with the Colorado Rockies, compiling a .286/.334/.494 slash line with 38 home runs, 142 RBI, 149 runs scored, and 15 stolen bases across 1,020 plate appearances. After not appearing in a game last season, Dahl has decided to call it a career.

Right-hander Tyler Glasnow has "come up in conversations" between the Los Angeles Dodgers and other teams, according to Alden Gonzalez of ESPN. Gonzalez added that any potential trade remains a "long shot," though the Dodgers would not be opposed to moving Glasnow. The 6-foot-8 righty is owed $30 million in both 2026 and 2027, with Los Angeles holding a club option for 2028. Since joining the Dodgers two seasons ago, Glasnow has posted a 3.37 ERA with 274 strikeouts and a 1.01 WHIP over 224 innings. When healthy, the 10-year veteran is among the elite pitchers in baseball, but durability remains the biggest concern, as he has never surpassed 134 innings in a single season. From a fantasy perspective, Glasnow's ADP sits just outside the top 100, making him a calculated gamble with massive upside if he can finally stay on the mound.
