This trade deadline is an interesting one for the Texas Rangers who currently sit out of playoff contention despite an impressive season compared to expectations. With plenty of young players, and their best trade assets, Mike Minor and Lance Lynn, under contract through this season, Texas isn’t in a position to be forced to sell. They’ve been noted for most of this trade deadline period as a club looking for controllable assets and Baltimore Orioles’ outfielder Trey Mancini is the latest link.
Jon Morosi of MLB.com tweeted out Tuesday morning an update on Trey Mancini’s market and noted the Rangers among others as interested in the 27-year old.
