The Rangers stayed busy on Tuesday night, trading for corner infielder Jake Burger from the Marlins, a source told MLB.com's Christina De Nicola. Miami is expected to receive a package of three Minor Leaguers in return that includes SS/2B Echedry Vargas, Texas' No. 17 prospect, and shortstop Max Acosta. The teams have not confirmed the trade.

The move to acquire Burger comes after Texas had agreed earlier in the night on a three-year deal to bring back Nathan Eovaldi. Burger adds some thump to their lineup, coming off a 29-homer season with 76 RBIs for the Marlins in 2024. In 2023, he hit a career-high 34 homers between the White Sox and Marlins and had an .828 OPS.

Burger is a former first-round Draft pick of the White Sox, where he spent the first two-plus years of his career before being dealt to Miami at the 2023 Trade Deadline. Only Corey Seager (30) hit more homers than Burger in the Rangers' lineup last season.
