MLB Trade Rumors: The Texas Rangers are expected to be sellers, and Jake Diekman, Keone Kela, and Jose Leclerc have been the hot names out there, with Adrian Beltre, Mike Minor, Alex Claudio, Shin-Soo Choo and Joey Gallo also discussed as possible trade pieces. But with roughly 24 hours to go before the deadline, things have gone quiet on the rumor front with the Rangers.
Diekman, who is a free agent after the season, is seen as almost certain to go, and it appears Kela is likely being dealt as well, given the strong demand for controllable relievers (Kela isn’t a free agent until after the 2020 season).
