According to a report from FOX Sports, Texas has reached out to the free agent shortstop about the possibility of playing left field.
If Desmond and the Rangers do come to terms, the club would forfeit the 19th pick in the Draft, as the Nationals gave Desmond a qualifying offer earlier in the offseason.
However, the report also mentions that money may be the bigger issue for the Rangers. The Rangers also acquired a draft pick when Yovani Gallardo signed with the Orioles.
Desmond has played 918 of his 920 career games in the infield.
