Texas Rangers trade rumors involving Rougned Odor and Mike Minor are circulating, with Evan Grant saying that the Rangers are “somewhat aggressively” trying to move Odor in a “money swap deal” — presumably a bad contract for a bad contract, although theoretically also involving Odor going somewhere else with a bunch of cash to subsidize the $25 million he is owed for 2021-23.
The trade deadline is 3:00 p.m. Central tomorrow, Monday, August 31, and the player who has been most talked about has been Lance Lynn, who has pitched great for the Rangers and who is under contract for next year at $8 million.
