Anthony Rendon as far as we know is still top priority for the Texas Rangers this offseason but it seems they are looking at other infielders in the meantime. Andy Martino of the SNY Network reported via Twitter that the Rangers, along with AL West foe Oakland, are in contact with the Mets regarding utility man Jed Lowrie.
Texas and Oakland two teams who have talked Jed Lowrie with Mets per sources. @susanslusser said Oakland first. A’s would only take Lowrie if Mets pay most of the money, I’m told.
We don’t know if this is independent of any pursuit of Anthony Rendon or if Texas is possibly looking at Lowrie as an alternative.
