  In it's franchise history the Rangers have been unable to achieve significant post season success, with only three post season appearances, all three playoff runs ending in the first round American League Division Series. In it's brief history the Rangers are perhaps best recognized in the sports world by giving superstar Alex Rodriguez the most lucrative contract in baseball history, signing Rodriguez to 10 years for $252 Million dollars in 2001. In his time in Texas, the Rangers were unable to reach the post season. Rodriguez was able to win the American League Most Valuable player in his final year with the team, but the Rangers would also come in last place in their division for that same year. The team would eventually trade Rodriguez to the New York Yankees in 2004 for Alfonso Soriano and Joaquin Arias.
