Per Jeff Wilson of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, the Texas Rangers showed an interest in free agent center fielders Jarrod Dyson and Billy Hamilton. Both players went on to sign with other clubs, the Pirates and Giants respectively, but the Rangers interest in center fielders came as no surprise. What was a bit surprising was the tier of center fielder in which Texas was searching. Dyson and Hamilton represent center field depth options rather than fits as everyday players which could signal a genuine confidence in Danny Santana or Nick Solak as an everyday center fielder. This was compounded by Wilson noting that the club did not have talks with Kevin Pillar who fell more into the tier of an everyday player than a defensive depth player.
