On December 2, 2021, Commissioner of Baseball Rob Manfred announced a lockout of players, following expiration of the collective bargaining agreement (CBA) between the league and the Major League Baseball Players Association (MLBPA). On March 10, 2022, MLB and the MLBPA agreed to a new collective bargaining agreement, thus ending the lockout. Opening Day was played on April 7.[1] Although MLB previously announced that several series would be cancelled due to the lockout, the agreement provides for a 162-game season, with originally canceled games to be made up via doubleheaders.[2]
The Rangers became the first team in history to be strikeout victims of two immaculate innings pitched in the same game on June 15, by Luis García and Phil Maton of the Houston Astros. It was also the first occasion in major league history two immaculate innings were pitched on the same date. On July 31, Reid Detmers of the Los Angeles Angels hurled another immaculate inning against the Rangers, joining the 1979 San Francisco Giants as the only teams to have three while batting.
On August 15, 2022, the Rangers fired manager Chris Woodward after a 51–63 record through 114 games. Tony Beasley was named interim manager for the remainder of the season.[3] On September 14, the Rangers set a new club record for losses by one-run with 32 (with only 13 wins by one run).[4]
On August 17, 2022, the Rangers fired President of Baseball Operations Jon Daniels. Chris Young, who was named general manager in 2020 to take over the role from Daniels, was named the new club president.[5]
Although the Rangers missed the postseason for the 6th consecutive season, they did improve on their record from the previous season by finishing 68–94 and 4th in the AL West.
Offseason
Lockout
The expiration of the league's collective bargaining agreement (CBA) with the Major League Baseball Players Association occurred on December 1, 2021, with no new agreement in place.[6] As a result, the team owners voted unanimously to lockout the players stopping all free agency and trades.[7][8]
The parties came to an agreement on a new CBA on March 10, 2022.[9]
Rule changes
Pursuant to the new CBA, several new rules were instituted for the 2022 season. The National League will adopt the designated hitter full-time, a draft lottery will be implemented, the postseason will expand from ten teams to twelve, and advertising patches will appear on player uniforms and helmets for the first time.[10][11]
Regular season
Summary
On June 15, the Rangers were victim of two immaculate innings delivered by the Houston Astros, the first such feat by one team—and the first time two were delivered on the same date—in major league history. Starting pitcher Luis García hurled one in the second inning to strike out Nathaniel Lowe, Ezequiel Durán, and Brad Miller. Five innings later, reliever Phil Maton struck out the same trio of batters for the second immaculate inning.[12]
The Rangers fell victim to another immaculate inning on July 31, by Los Angeles Angels rookie starter Reid Detmers. In the fourth inning, he struck out Durán, Kole Calhoun and Charlie Culberson. Durán became the first major league hitter to strike out in three immaculate innings in the same season. Also, the Rangers joined the 1979 San Francisco Giants as the only major league teams to strike out through three immaculate innings while batting.[13]
