Briefly

Josh Sborz's Deal With Rangers Has Upward Mobility Clause
"Sborz has spent the past six seasons in the Texas organization and was non-tendered after missing the entire 2025 season due to shoulder surgery. He returned on a minor league contract and has shown strong performance in Triple-A."
"With a near-5.00 earned run average over 154 appearances, Sborz has an above-average 27.7% strikeout rate and was a key player during the 2023 World Series, contributing 12 innings of one-run ball."
"If another club expresses interest in Sborz, the Rangers would need to create active and 40-man roster space, which could involve optioning Luis Curvelo back to Triple-A."
Josh Sborz's minor league contract includes an assignment clause that activates soon, requiring the Rangers to make him available to other teams. Sborz has performed well in Triple-A, pitching seven innings with a 1.29 ERA and eight strikeouts. He has a history of inconsistency in the majors but was effective during the 2023 World Series. If no team claims him, he will stay in Triple-A, but if another team shows interest, the Rangers must create roster space to retain him.
