The Texas Rangers are in a catcher crisis, with both Danny Jansen and Kyle Higashioka sidelined—Jansen possibly out for the season, Higashioka dealing with a tendon issue. Their options are limited to Elias Diaz and Austin Wynns, neither elite. Their top prospect, Malcolm Moore, is still developing and injury-prone. Enter Liam Hicks—the catcher they drafted in 2021, traded away in 2024, and now hitting .282 with 14 homers and 60 RBIs for the Marlins. Versatile, right-handed, and under the radar, Hicks could be the perfect stopgap—and maybe even a long-term answer—for a Rangers team desperate for catching depth.
