Last Wednesday, March 27, the Texas Rangers unveiled their 2024 jerseys, now featuring an Energy Transfer sponsor patch on the sleeve.
The multi-year partnership extension was announced during an official press conference at Globe Life Field that featured Rangers pitchers Josh Sborz and Dane Dunning modeling the team¡¯s Championship gold-trimmed jerseys alongside Academy standouts Jacob Ayala, Gio Frias, Trace Spann and Alyssa Summers, who showcased the team¡¯s remaining colorways.
Headquartered in Dallas, Energy Transfer is one of the largest energy infrastructure companies in the U.S. and a close partner of the Texas Rangers Baseball Foundation since May 2018, when the company made a significant commitment to endowing the programs and operations of the Texas Rangers MLB Youth Academy.
¡°Energy Transfer has been a part of Texas Rangers Youth Academy¡¯s success and the no-cost baseball and softball programming since our doors opened,¡± said Juan Leonel G¨¢rciga, senior director of the Youth Academy and baseball development. ¡°Last week¡¯s event unveiling the new sponsor patch was the perfect way to involve a handful of our top athletes who have all benefitted from Energy Transfer's generous commitment to the future of baseball and softball in our community.¡±
Ayala, Frias, Spann and Summers showcased the road gray and road blue jerseys, as well as the Nike City Connect and fan-favorite powder blue jersey for the press event and got to know the World Series Champions Sborz and Dunning, who also signed some autographs for the group.
