Jankowski will serve as the Rangers' first-base coach in 2026. Presumably, this spells the end of Jankowski's playing career. The 34-year-old outfielder slashed .236/.318/.305 with 11 home runs and 104 stolen bases over parts of 11 major-league seasons.

Travis Jankowski: Breaking News
Jankowski elected free agency Sunday after clearing waivers. Jankowski will be on the lookout for another minor-league deal after he was recently booted off an organization's 40-man roster for the third time this season. Across his stops with the White Sox, Rays and Mets thus far in 2025, Jankowski has slashed .244/.286/.289 with zero home runs, two steals, eight runs and two RBI over 50 plate appearances in the majors.
The Mets designated Jankowski for assignment Thursday. Jankowski was added to the roster two-plus weeks ago but saw just one plate appearance during his time with the Mets. The veteran outfielder is likely to clear waivers and become a free agent.
