Andrew McCutchen, former NL MVP, earns Opening Day roster spot with Texas Rangers...


Andrew McCutchen, the 39-year-old veteran outfielder, has secured a spot on the Texas Rangers' Opening Day roster. He signed a minor league deal with the Rangers during the offseason and has been impressing with a .444 batting average, one home run, and seven RBIs in seven Spring Training games.


The veteran's about to enter his 18th MLB season, and he's got the experience to show for it. Last season, he hit .239 with 13 home runs and 57 RBI in 135 games with the Pirates – a team he's been with for 12 years.


McCutchen burst onto the scene in 2009, finishing fourth in National League Rookie of the Year voting. He went on to dominate the league between 2011 and 2015, cementing his status as one of baseball's best.


2011 was the start of something big for McCutchen – he earned his first All-Star bid m. The next year, he led the NL with 194 hits and took home his only Gold Glove. But 2013 was the breakout year: McCutchen was NL MVP, earned his third straight All-Star selection, and won his first Silver Slugger Award.


McCutchen's peak years were 2014-2015, with back-to-back All-Star selections and Silver Sluggers, plus top-five MVP finishes. Since then, he's been on a bit of a different path, but now he's looking to spark the Rangers.


The Rangers had a stagnant 2025 season, going 81-81 and missing playoffs for the second straight year. Now, they're looking to turn things around, with McCutchen adding veteran leadership. Their 2026 season kicks off March 26th against the Phillies.
