ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) Corey Seager and Marcus Semien were well aware of the 102 losses last year and five consecutive losing seasons for the Texas Rangers.

As a half-billion dollar middle infield, they will now work together to turn things around in Texas.

"They were very open and honest about how many games they've lost and where they're at as an organization right now, and where their vision is," Seager said. " And that's something that we wanted to embrace. ... I love the work of it, the drive, the passion for the game, to do it the right way and have the right people. It always comes down to the people."
