The Texas Rangers 2007 season will begin with the team trying to win an AL West title for the first time since 1999, when they got swept by the New York Yankees in the ALDS. The AL West is becoming more competitive with the Rangers, the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim, Oakland Athletics, and Seattle Mariners making several key offseason acquisitions to compete in the division. They started the 2006-07 offseason by firing manager Buck Showalter, who still had three years remaining on his contract, and hiring former Oakland Athletics third base coach Ron Washington as their new manager. During the offseason, they lost several key players. Gary Matthews, Jr. (to the Los Angeles Angels), Mark DeRosa (to the Chicago Cubs), Carlos Lee (to the Houston Astros), and Adam Eaton (to the Philadelphia Phillies) were free agents signed by other teams. They filled those holes in their lineup with left fielder Frank Catalanotto, who the Rangers signed to a multi-year contract, as well as closer Éric Gagné and center fielder Kenny Lofton each to a one-year deal. Right fielder Sammy Sosa also signed a one-year minor-league contract with the team that drafted him in 1985, expected to be the Rangers' designated hitter if he makes it to the MLB level.
