Brandon Finnegan — a Texas Rangers option?

Brandon Finnegan was designated for assignment by the Cincinnati Reds yesterday, which means the Reds have seven days to trade, waive or release the lefthanded pitcher. With the Texas Rangers in rebuilding mode, and a bullpen that has only just been finalized (and has a couple of pitchers with tenuous holds on roster spots), it leads one to wonder whether the Rangers might have interest in either claiming Finnegan on waivers or working out a deal for him.

Finnegan is fairly well-known to many Metroplex baseball fans, as he is a Fort Worth native who attended Southwest High School and then pitched for TCU.
