Entering the offseason, the Texas Rangers were focused on adding a third baseman, specifically one who could be an impact player with the glove and the bat. They swung for the fences in free agency with Anthony Rendon and whiffed when he signed with AL West rival, Los Angeles. Before we could even catch our breath from the Rendon whirlwind, Texas had already pulled out of the race for their assumed Plan B in Josh Donaldson. That meant opting for a flier signing or turning to the trade market. Kris Bryant is the name that seems most likely to be dealt but the Rangers are reportedly checking in with the Colorado Rockies about the availability of Nolan Arenado.
