====Rebuilding (2017–2022)====
The Rangers finished the 2017 campaign 23&nbsp;games out of first place with a 78–84 record. In 2018, the Rangers partnered with the [[KBO League]]'s [[LG Twins]], in business and baseball operations.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.mlb.com/press-release/texas-rangers-lg-twins-announce-partnership-agreement-266905596|date=February 21, 2018|title=Texas Rangers, LG Twins announce partnership agreement|work=[[Major League Baseball]]|access-date=June 22, 2019|archive-date=January 2, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210102185756/https://www.mlb.com/press-release/texas-rangers-lg-twins-announce-partnership-agreement-266905596|url-status=live}}</ref> On September 21, 2018, holding on to a 64–88 record, the Rangers fired [[Jeff Banister]] who had led the team since 2015. He was replaced by bench coach [[Don Wakamatsu]] for the remainder of the season.<ref>{{cite web|title=Rangers fire manager Jeff Banister after 4 seasons|url=https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/24754826/texas-rangers-fire-manager-jeff-banister-4-seasons|website=ESPN|date=September 21, 2018|access-date=September 22, 2018|archive-date=January 2, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210102185818/https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/24754826/texas-rangers-fire-manager-jeff-banister-4-seasons|url-status=live}}</ref> The Rangers ended the season at 67–95. [[Chris Woodward]] was later selected to be the team's manager beginning with the 2019 season.<ref>{{cite web|title=New manager Chris Woodward shares bond with Rangers fans|url=https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/25186398/texas-rangers-introduce-new-manager-chris-woodward|website=ESPN|date=November 5, 2018|access-date=January 29, 2019|archive-date=January 2, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210102185830/https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/25186398/texas-rangers-introduce-new-manager-chris-woodward|url-status=live}}</ref> He led the team to a 78–84 record in his first season.

Following a delayed start to the 2020 season due to the [[COVID-19 pandemic]], the Rangers played their first regular season game at the new [[Globe Life Field]] on July 24, 2020, a 1–0 win over the [[Colorado Rockies]].<ref name=GLFopening>{{cite web |last=Sullivan |first=T.R. |url=https://www.mlb.com/news/rangers-win-globe-life-field-opener |title=Rangers Open New Park With 3-Hit Shutout |work=[[Major League Baseball]] |date=July 25, 2020 |access-date=January 1, 2020 |archive-date=January 2, 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210102185828/https://www.mlb.com/news/rangers-win-globe-life-field-opener |url-status=live }}</ref> They ended the contracted season in fifth place at 22–38.<ref name=BRseasons/>

On April 5, 2021, the Texas Rangers hosted the first full-capacity sporting event in the United States since the pandemic began with more than 38,000 fans in attendance. The decision for full capacity stemmed from Texas allowing all businesses to operate at 100% capacity without mask restrictions. The Rangers were criticized by United States health officials and [[President of the United States|President]] [[Joe Biden]] for hosting a full-capacity event, calling it "a mistake" and "not responsible".<ref>{{Cite web |last=Gonzalez |first=Alden |date=April 1, 2021 |title=Biden: No fan limit at Rangers' park 'a mistake' |url=https://www.espn.com/espn/story/_/id/31174442/president-joe-biden-calls-no-limit-fans-texas-rangers-stadium-not-responsible |access-date=April 7, 2021 |website=ESPN.com |language=en}}</ref> However, former White House medical staff member Dr. William Lang argued that lowering rates of COVID-19 infections and increasing rates of vaccination in Texas gave the decision to hold the game at full capacity more credibility.<ref>{{Cite web|last=Dixon|first=Schuyler|date=April 5, 2021|title=Texas Rangers fill the stands with fans, who accept a 'calculated risk'|url=https://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/ct-texas-rangers-full-stadium-covid-19-20210405-tqmuhqhcpbdflgpbm27pbuyz5q-story.html|access-date=August 1, 2021|website=[[Chicago Tribune]]}}</ref> The Rangers did not enforce a mask policy at the home opener or any of their games. Although the seven-day average of COVID-19 cases in Tarrant County more than doubled following the home opener, there was no evidence of causation occurring as a result of the opening game.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Blum |first=Sam |date=April 26, 2021 |title=As fans pack into Globe Life Field, Texas Rangers aren't strongly enforcing their own mask policy |url=https://www.dallasnews.com/sports/rangers/2021/04/26/as-fans-pack-into-globe-life-field-texas-rangers-arent-strongly-enforcing-their-own-mask-policy/ |access-date=May 4, 2021 |website=dallasnews.com |language=en}}</ref>

After a 60–102 season in 2021, their worst since 1973, the Rangers signed several free agents, including [[Toronto Blue Jays]] second baseman [[Marcus Semien]] and [[Los Angeles Dodgers]] shortstop [[Corey Seager]], and they brought back former starting pitcher [[Martín Pérez (baseball)|Martin Perez]] after three seasons away from the team. However, the team finished 68–94, good enough for fourth place in the AL West; they were also a franchise- and league-worst 15–35 in one-run games. The Rangers fired Chris Woodward on August 15, 2022, with [[Tony Beasley]] taking his place as interim manager for the rest of the year. Two days after Woodward's firing, the Rangers fired President of Baseball Operations (and former Rangers general manager) Jon Daniels, after six consecutive losing seasons.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/34413172/texas-rangers-fire-president-baseball-operations-jon-daniels | title=Rangers continue shake-up, fire president Daniels | date=August 17, 2022 }}</ref><ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.dallasnews.com/sports/rangers/2022/08/17/rangers-part-ways-with-team-president-jon-daniels/ | title=Rangers part ways with team president Jon Daniels, club hands keys to Chris Young | date=August 17, 2022 }}</ref> Chris Young, who was named general manager in 2020 to take over the role from Daniels, was named the new club president.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.wfaa.com/article/sports/mlb/rangers/jon-daniels-texas-rangers-fired-2022/287-d41925b5-5044-4ec0-80f7-c5aaedf557c3|title=Cleaning house: Texas Rangers fire longtime exec Jon Daniels, 2 days after ousting manager|last=Osborne|first=Ryan|date=August 17, 2022|accessdate=August 18, 2022}}</ref> On October 21, 2022, the Rangers hired three-time World Series winning manager [[Bruce Bochy]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/34846694/texas-rangers-hire-bruce-bochy-new-manager|title=Texas Rangers hire Bruce Bochy as new manager|website=[[ESPN]]|publisher=Associated Press|date=October 21, 2022|access-date=November 2, 2023}}</ref> During the offseason, the Rangers signed longtime [[New York Mets]] starting pitcher [[Jacob deGrom]] to a five-year, $185 million contract,<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.foxsports.com/stories/mlb/jacob-degrom-signs-five-year-185-million-contract-with-texas-rangers|title=Jacob deGrom signs five-year contract with Texas Rangers|website=Fox Sports|date=December 2, 2022|access-date=November 2, 2023}}</ref> and starting pitchers [[Nathan Eovaldi]] and [[Andrew Heaney]].
