For what it’s worth, the Texas Rangers are among the teams trying to land Bryce Harper or Manny Machado. This rumor was initially reported by ESPN’s Buster Olney. Alongside the Rangers, Olney mentioned the Cubs and Twins as teams that could sign either superstar.
Don’t think Texas is competing with only two other teams, however. The Padres and Yankees are said to be in the Machado running, while the Braves, Giants and Astros are in on Harper. Of course, the Phillies, White Sox and Dodgers are still in the mix as well.
As I just named more than one-third of Major League Baseball teams, Harper or Machado to Texas is far from a sure thing.
