Garcia is a late-inning weapon. Martin is the steady hand. Who do you got in the 9th? #texasrangers
Robert Garcia is a late-inning weapon for the Texas Rangers. Full stop. I love him in the 7th and 8th as a high-leverage matchup lefty who can flip a game. But the ninth is not a matchup inning, and it is usually right-handed. That is why Chris Martin feels like the steady hand. The “no freebies” profile plays late, and hitters chase his stuff. Alexis Diaz and Cole Winn are options to watch, but the ninth is earned, not handed out. And Kumar Rocker is far more valuable as a starter. Rangers bullpen roles in 2026 will matter.
