The Texas Rangers have announced the non-roster invitees for this year\u2019s major league spring training camp. Aside from the guys signed to minor league deals this winter, the team has invited nine other players who were already in the organization to the major league camp. They are:<\/p>\n
IF Sebastian Walcott \u2014 Y\u2019all know who he is<\/p>\n

IF Cam Cauley \u2014 You probably know who he is, too. Versatile infielder who is likely going to be at AAA this season. Could get a call up if there\u2019s a need for a utility infielder and he\u2019s done enough for the Rangers to think he\u2019s worth adding to the 40 man roster.<\/p>\n
OF Trevor Hauver \u2014 27 year old lefthanded hitting corner outfielder who came to Texas from the Yankees as part of the Joey Gallo trade. Slashed .275\/.391\/.446 for Round Rock last year. Will be a free agent after the season if he\u2019s not added to the 40 man roster. Not a realistic candidate to be in the majors this year, barring extraordinary circumstances.<\/p>\n
OF Aaron Zavala \u2014 25 year old lefthanded hitting corner outfielder who was the Rangers\u2019 second round pick in 2021. Slashed .242\/.354\/.415 between AA and AAA (mostly AAA) last year. Presumably will be in Round Rock this year.<\/p>\n
LHP Robby Ahlstrom \u2014 26 year old reliever acquired by the Rangers from the Yankees in the Jose Trevino trade. Split the past two seasons between AA and AAA. Could be a bullpen option if he stops walking so many hitters.<\/p>\n

LHP Dalton Pence \u2014 23 year old who was the Rangers\u2019 11th round pick out of UNC in 2024. Had a solid 2025 season, putting up a 2.73 ERA between Hickory and Hub City, with 103 Ks against 27 walks in 82.1 IP. Not a major league option, but someone whose stock has risen.<\/p>\n
LHP Josh Trentadue \u2014 24 year old who was the Rangers\u2019 13th round pick out of College of Southern Idaho in 2023. Split 2025 between high-A and AA, putting up a 1.15 ERA in 54 innings at high-A and a 5.24 ERA in 22 innings at AA. Like Pence, not a major league option, but someone whose stock has gone up.<\/p>\n
RHP Eric Loomis \u2014 23 year old reliever who was the team\u2019s 16th round pick out of Missouri State in 2024. Spent time at low-A, high-A and AA in 2025, dominating at the A ball levels and giving up 6 runs in 7.2 innings over 7 appearances at AA. Struck out 84 of 220 batters faced, which is pretty good. Walked 25 and hit 12. Someone who could move quickly if he harnesses his stuff.<\/p>\n
RHP Ryan Lobus \u2014 25 year old who was signed as an undrafted free agent out of Mercer in 2023. Put up a 3.48 ERA in 67 innings over 45 appearances for Frisco in 2025, with 82 Ks and 27 walks. Like Loomis, is a bullpen guy who could potentially get a look at some point this season if he performs.<\/p>\n

The Rangers\u2019 website says that there are 23 NRIs, but I am only counting 21 above, so there must be a couple that aren\u2019t listed on the NRI roster page.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Texas Rangers have announced the non-roster invitees for this year\u2019s major league spring training camp.
