From the “No Player is Untouchable” file comes the latest dilemma the rebuilding Texas Rangers are facing.
Multiple teams, mostly contenders and clubs hoping to make a move up the standings in 2019, have contacted the Rangers about the availability of right-hander Jose Leclerc, who finished 2018 as the closer and posted one of the best seasons by a reliever all of MLB.
A source said that the Rangers don’t want to move Leclerc and would have to be overwhelmed to trade a young player with four years of control remaining before he hits free agency.
