The Texas Rangers have been active in the offseason, making several moves. They acquired outfielder J.P. Martinez from the Rangers and then traded him to the Atlanta Braves for pitcher Tyler Owens. This trade created a roster spot for the Rangers, allowing them to sign David Robertson. The Braves added depth to their outfield with the acquisition of Martinez, who is known for his defensive skills and versatility. The Phillies and Padres are also making moves, with the Padres inviting two veterans to Spring Training and the Phillies showing interest in right-handed pitchers Jakob Junis and Phil Maton to strengthen their bullpen.
